During this year’s Super Bowl extravaganza (it’s not just a football game anymore), plan to be a bit more active. Spend the pregame time playing touch football outside.

Divide into two evenly matched teams. Have one person “hike” the ball to someone who can throw it to another team member. The defending team tries to catch the ball, or tags the receiver to end the play. It’s not very complicated, but it moves fast – and that’s the point! Break a sweat with some touch football before the game.

Snow and rain are not an excuse – wear appropriate clothing and enjoy the fresh air. (Seriously, there’s nothing like touch football in a couple of feet of snow – exercise plus fun!)

Having guests for the game? Invite them to dress for touch football. Don’t think you like football? Pretend you’re a Kennedy, and play with heart.

Here’s some music to get you pumped up!
