This is so much fun, it won’t even seem like exercise. You can use all kinds of materials or “equipment” including cones, couch pillows, tunnels and even tape! We've got loads of DIY obstacle course tips, from outdoor options to ways to teach kids their ABC's while doing the obstacle course.

That's why we recommend a hoodie like the Nike Sporstwear pullover hoodie for a super comfy option. Increase your speed with the Nike Air Zoom Arcadia SE kids' shoes that bring both comfort and style to your obstacle course.
