Frisbee is great exercise – especially if you're not good at it! What do we mean by this? Well, if you and your partner haven't thrown a frisbee in a while, you'll probably spend most of your time running after it! But not to worry…this makes frisbee throwing a great cardiovascular work-out. All of the running and stretching you'll have to do just to catch the frisbee benefits the heart, lungs, and muscles in many different ways. Not to mention it burns calories too. A 150 lb person can burn up to 150 calories in one half hour of frisbee throwing.
To make the frisbee game more interesting, you could add some fun rules. For example, you could make your partner do ten jumping jacks every time he or she misses the frisbee. Or if you have dog, you could teach them how to play fetch. Frisbee is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy the weather right in your own backyard!
Note: always consult with a physician before starting a new exercise program.
