ABOUT

FITNESS 4 FUN is the card game you already know how to play — except when you play a card, everybody moves. Match by color, number or exercise; land on an Exercise Card and the whole table does the reps.

THE STORY BEHIND THE GAME

Keith Ross, president of Global Tribrush LLC, invented Fitness 4 Fun in 2006 after watching a news segment on childhood obesity. The segment's point was that outdoor games had been replaced by screens.

His answer wasn't to take the screens away. It was to build a game that could compete with them at the kitchen table — one where the exercise is the fun part rather than the price of it.

Most exercise aimed at kids announces itself as exercise. This doesn't. Kids are moving before they notice they're moving, and because the movements come a few at a time between turns, nobody has to be athletic to keep up.

Every card carries an illustration showing exactly how the movement is done, so a six-year-old who can't yet read the name of an exercise can still do it. Rules come in English and Spanish.

Fitness 4 Fun has been getting families moving since 2006 — at home, at sleepovers, in scout troops and in PE classes. Fitness 4 Fun® is a registered trademark of Global Tribrush LLC.
