Hello! I hope that you and your family are enjoying the holiday season!

We were able to visit our family this holiday and we actually purchased the Hyper Dash for my nieces….and guess what? They loved it! (See, we dietitians really do take our own advice! See my post on gifts for kids)

“This game makes me sweaty.”–Kaitlyn, 6 1/2 years old

My niece, Kaitlyn loved playing this game! Although she didn’t get to play it the minute that she opened the game (it needs 3 AA batteries), it was one of the first things she played with the next morning. It’s a great game to play alone (and try to beat your time as the patterns get more difficult) or against other players/teams. I even played the game with her and enjoyed every minute of it! It combines running around with memory (you have to remember sequences of the numbers and colors the joystick calls out) so it not only works your muscles but your brain too!

As we are having a party next week to celebrate the new year, I can’t help but wonder how the game would be with a group of “grown-ups”! I bet we’d laugh our butts off!
