Great Highschool pe game
I played this game with my varsity field hockey team and it gave them quite the workout. The instructions are pretty simple to explain and the exercises are good as well. Great competitive game.

Great for our C&C class (homeroom)
I bought this game as a way to get students active in our homeroom class as well as a way for them to have fun with their classmates. The students worked incredibly hard and encouraged each other to complete the different challenges. It was a great experience!
