With just 5 habits per tracker, it's easy to not get overwhelmed in the process of doing them. The best thing is that each of the 12 trackers are printable so you can make as many copies as you need.

The more tasks one completes, the more fantastic the tracking sheet looks! Because they are digital printables, each child can choose their own challenge to complete, or they can be mixed and matched.

It was exciting to see the fitness progress and results from start to finish. And the illustrations are helpful for younger children who can't yet read the exercise names.
