Introducing YMCA's 12Bursts Program
Keep your family active and having fun with 12Bursts. The 12Bursts program encourages your children to achieve 60-minutes of daily recommended physical activity through 12 activity “bursts” of five minutes each. Stack your bursts or mix or match in whatever way best fits your schedule to complete each day’s Daily Dozen challenge. 12Bursts can be completed as individuals or as a family.
With 12Bursts, no two days are the same as the Daily Dozen challenge resets to encourage a variety of activities and maximize the fun! How many days in a row can you complete the daily challenge list? Get started today!
