Introducing Scrap-Fit: The High-Intensity Interval Scrapbooking Workout
For years, we’ve championed the mental wellness benefits of scrapbooking. We’ve focused on the mindfulness, the stress relief and the joy of preserving memories.
But this year, we’re picking up the pace. We’re moving from the mental to the momentum and putting the physical back into memory keeping with the Scrap-Fit workout. Your next crop is officially your next gym session. So, grab your trimmer, pick up your punches and let’s go!
Watch: Sheila, from the Home Office, leads us through the official Scrap-Fit circuit. From “Trimmer Triceps” to “Adhesive Abs,” these exercises are built to help you power through your pages and finish those albums in record time.
Print and Share the Fun!
Turn your craft room into a training ground! Download our official Scrap-Fit Workout Flyer to follow along and track your reps as you go.
It’s the perfect companion for your next crop. Print a few extra copies to share with your fellow scrapletes!
NOTICE: This workout is not safety approved and has zero scientific backing. It might be fun, it might be questionable — either way, try at your own risk. Happy April 1st!
We hope you had as much fun with the Scrap-Fit workout as we did!
While we might not actually be trading our trimmers for treadmills, we truly believe that every page you finish is a “heavy lift” for your legacy. Keep flexing those creative muscles. Don’t worry, the only “burn” we actually want you to feel is the excitement of a finished album.
Happy April Fools’ Day from the Creative Memories team!
This was hilarious! Thank for such a funny (and, maybe even, useful) way to kick off April Fool’s day.
Love the new workout routine! Although it should come with a little extra Warning:
‘Hydration: 8 oz. of water for every 4 pages” could lead to additional bathroom interruptions and delay project completion! lol.
I’m surprised there wasn’t paper in the punch exercise! Happy April Fools Day!
Too good, you got me.
This was awesome! So creative. And, yes, Sheila – you nailed it! :-)
I’m in! LOL! 😊
Love it!
Love it!! You forgot to say this will improve your posture so you don’t have the scrapbookers hunch.
Love it! I’ll have to remember this during our Scrap Retreat in June!
Fantastic. Loved it
Love it. Great idea for a retreat.
