Need some physical activities for indoors, too, though. (I saw one exercise video.). Kids are going to have problems paying attention if they don’t get up and move frequently, especially young boys. Suggestion - dancing. Less likely to damage the house than martial arts, LOL!

Looking for a way to hold together those special memories of a Senior year in high school? A project like the following can be used to salvage a choir. Videos can also be amalgamated to create a graduating composite with the student in his cap and gown receiving his diploma from a disembodied arm while another frame features the principal handing them out.
