Fun at Home
It’s Acrobat Week at the New Victory Theater Arts Break with exercises you can do at home to mix up your home fitness routine and make it a little more fun. They have easy stuff like making shapes with your body, balancing challenges and trust falls (great for siblings!) and some slightly more advanced techniques: https://newvictory.org/new-victory-arts-break-acro-week/
