February Printable Fitness Challenge Calendar

Our 2024 February Fitness Challenge Calendar is here!

Use this printable calendar as a resource to share with your students and encourage them to participate in the challenge in school and/or at home with their family. You can use the Fitness Challenge outdoors as a fun way to get kids moving and active.

We teamed up with the Alliance For A Healthier Generation to create this fitness calendar for the month of February. Below is the link to the download, which is a total of 6 pages with visuals. The calendar also includes a Certificate of Completion and a Task Sheet. See below for details and printable PDFs!

Students are challenged each day to participate in the activities listed on the calendar. For February, the exercises include Reverse Lunges, Squats, Squat Jumps, Knee Raises, Heel Walks, and Tippy Toe Walks. Each week, the number of repetitions for each fitness exercise increases. Wednesdays are themed for the big football game this month, and include two task cards that combine the popular sport plus geography.

The calendar also includes task cards for each exercise, so you can show your students images of the correct way to do the activities.

We also have these awesome new Fitness Challenge Award Bracelets that align perfectly with this calendar. Pass them out to students after they finish the challenge as a great incentive and reward!

Football Activities

To celebrate the big game on Sunday, February 12th, refer to the NFL Stadium Geography Task Cards for activities related to both fitness and geography. Each Wednesday of the month, have students use their classroom, gym, cafeteria, or even outdoors to participate in the activities listed on the cards. Use the map to help them them visualize where each team is located, the distance each team is from another, and how far they are located depending on what state your program is in. Refer to the key which shows the symbols for the AFC and NFC divisions of the National Football League’s American Football Conference for North, West, South, and East.

Challenge students to:

  • Look at the map and name the NFL teams.
  • Use the map to complete the fitness challenges listed on the NFL Stadium Geography Task Cards.

Feel free to change the teams on the task cards to reflect this year’s top teams. Pass out mini footballs as prizes for completing the challenge!

We love this idea from PE teacher Christine Mason inspired by the NFL Stadium Georgraphy Task Cards. She placed cones along the gym with printed sheets of the team name, and students perform tasks listed on the cards at each team station.

February is American Heart Month

To honor American Heart Month, have students wear heart rate monitors during each fitness exercise to keep track of their heart rate changes. You can even have students practice some football speed and agility training.

As a fun incentive for completing the challenge, give students a novelty item like these heart shaped stress balls.

February is the Winter Athletic Games in Beijing in 2023!

Celebrate the games with some fun activities related to skiing, bobsledding, curling, skating, and more! We have some great ideas for PE below.

Task Sheet

Download our printable Fitness Challenge Task Sheet for your participants to fill out each day! They will record what exercises they did and put a check mark in the completed box if they completed the number of reps on the calendar. There is also a self-assessment section which is great for social emotional learning. Kids will circle the emoji that best describes how they felt after doing the exercises. The notes section is a place where they can jot down anything related to the activities, and also a great place to record their hobbies they did each Saturday this month.

  1. **Typo**
    Hi! Thank you so much for the calendar! I’m not sure if it’s too late or not to correct, but on February 21st…the calendar says “Tippy Toe Walk/55 Minutes”. I would guess it should say “Tippy Toe Walk/55 Seconds”. However, you could get some really strong calves if you tippy toe for 55 minutes! 🙂
    Thank you again!

    • Hi Wendy, thank you so much for catching that! It was definitely a typo and is fixed now on the downloadable calendar! But you certainly made us laugh with your comment about strong calves 😂 so true! Thanks!

  2. Thanks a million for the calenders, I try to use one each month. Our school newsletter usually will give me both sides of one page. If possible creating a one page both sides/modified calender to be copied would be fantastic because the paper used in multiple pages for hundreds of kids may be prohibitive.
    Thanks again,
