What is your favorite sport that gets you moving?
My favorite sport that gets me moving is BOP IT. BOP IT is a balloon game where you have to bop a balloon and get it to land on the floor on your opponent's side. Rules/setting up/objectives of BOP IT. -
You have to be playing on either side of something that has two completely accessible sides and the 2 sides have to be more than 1 foot away from each other (setting up).
-
You can't go on your opponent's side (rules).
-
You have to win by 2 points (objectives/rules).
-
This game is played in points (rules).
-
The spaces on either side must have a 9 foot or more area (setting up).
Playing BOP IT is how I got my cardio-vascular activity last week. Each night, my mom, aunt and I played BOP IT for over an hour. We had a great time. Some nights it would be more competitive than other nights. We usually all play together, but sometimes we will have a mini-tournament where the first two people play against each other and then the winner plays the third person. Typically after a game of BOP IT, I am sweating and I can feel my heart beating faster in my chest. These things tell me that I am getting good exercise when playing BOP IT.
