🚦 Stop. Sprint. Backpedal. Chop. 🚦

Our crew was working on one of the best all-around drills for kids — combining speed, change of direction, and footwork control.

✅ Teaches quick reactions
✅ Builds acceleration and deceleration skills
✅ Improves coordination & balance
✅ And yes… it’s a ton of fun!

From sports performance to playground games, learning how to stop, start, and move in different directions is a skill every kid should have. The earlier they build these movement patterns, the stronger and more confident they’ll be. 💪

A major review of over 1,000 trials shows that exercise is significantly more effective at reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety than medication or therapy — with benefits kicking in fast, especially in the first 12 weeks.

Strength training, yoga, and even short walks were all linked to measurable mental health improvements, with adults over 45 responding especially well.

Surprisingly, shorter workouts delivered better results than longer routines, challenging common assumptions.

Experts say it’s time to treat exercise as a first-line treatment, not just an add-on — and the data makes a compelling case.

Full breakdown and key findings below.

No kids were harmed in the making of this good time. Becket did rock me and gave me a bloody nose. Call me crazy but I think the whipped cream helped stop the bleeding.

P.S. check out these action shots. Thanks Sam!!!
