Heart Pumping Fun

January 29, 2021 by Stacy Menz

February is American Heart Month! One great way to celebrate is to get moving as a family. Here are some great ideas to get that heart pumping and staying healthy!

  • Hiking
    • Hiking is a great way to get moving while enjoying some nature!
    • Also a great way to get to know new places near you (and also farther out) by checking out parks that can provide a fun family activity for all. Please remember to stay safe and respect nature if you do decide to venture out!
  • Neighborhood walk
    • Want to stay a little closer to home? No worries, all you have to do is step outside your house and see where your legs can take you!
  • Biking
    • Biking is also another alternative to moving that also may allow you to go farther distances! You can grab your bikes (or tricycles) and take a couple laps around the neighborhood or even farther out if you’re up for it!
  • Dance Party
    • Rainy day preventing you from going outside? Turn up the music inside your house and get dancing! Take turns choosing songs to move to or have everyone write down some suggestions and pick songs out of a hat
  • Rainy Day Fun
    • Don your wet weather gear and go see how many puddles you can stomp in!

What Clients Are Saying

Our family moved to the bay area 6 years ago, and Starfish Therapies have been a part of our family ever since. Everyone at the clinic is caring and warm. The owner always looks for ways to improve the clinic and the services provided. The therapists are patient, enthusiastic, and know how to motivate the kids to do their best. Even after moving more than an hour away from the clinic, we kept going back to Starfish for intensive therapy sessions every summer! We cannot thank Starfish Therapies enough for helping my daughter to get stronger and to become more independent over the years!”
