Running a mile is a great way to check in on your fitness. If you have not been running, it will be a run/walk/jog combination. If you don't have a mile track, try to run/walk for 10 minutes. ASK YOUR PARENTS FIRST IF IT IS OK TO RUN OUTSIDE!!!!! You will do the warm up, time a mile, then work on hockey skills. Use a track if you can, 4 laps. Some neighborhoods and trails have miles marked. If you can't find a mile run, just time a run and see if you can go for 10-15 minutes. The goal is to see what your endurance is at this moment in time. If you can't run outside for whatever reason, email me and I will send you an alternative assignment.

1. WARM UP: Use the alphabet chart to spell your first name and do the exercise associated with the letter
2. Mile-- Time yourself, put in a good effort, and congratulate yourself on the effort! If you can't run outside for whatever reason, email me and I will send you an alternative assignment.
3. COOL DOWN: Keep jogging or walking to make sure you don't get sore from running today. 5-10 minutes of cool down.
4. Hockey

WARM UP-- You want to be really warmed up for a fast test like the shuttle. Jump rope would be great as well as jogging in place or doing 50 jumping jacks a few times. Make sure you stretch as well. Lastly, practice the test before you actually time yourself!
ACTIVITY-- it's shuttle run day.... below is a PE teacher named Ms. V. she does a good job setting up and explaining this test. Let me know how it goes!
If you spend a lot of time on it, you're done -- if you just do it once, choose another activity like shoot some baskets or go for a bike ride. Your choice, have fun!
COOL DOWN-- Always good to stretch. The mile is next week. Hopefully, the weather is good. Check out your area and see if you can find a track, it's the easiest way to measure the mile.

WARM UP: Do jumping jacks while you name as many states and their capitals as you can.
ACTIVITY: push ups today-- it helps to have someone watch to make sure you are doing good ones. Go down until your elbows are 90 degrees (like the corner of a window). There is no time limit - do as many good push ups as you can and report back to me.
game: slap ball - see below
COOL DOWN: next week is the shuttle run...you will try to go as fast as you can...this week see if you can shuttle back and forth in these ways---crab walk, bear walk, frog jumps & duck walk.... not easy but hopefully fun. maybe race your sibling or parent?

WARM UP: Pick 5 yoga poses from below
ACTIVITY: Sit ups-- use timer from below or a watch, you should have someone hold your feet & count for you, but if you had to- you could put your feet under the couch. Do your best and forget the rest:)
game--Turnabout--it's a kicking game, good luck--have fun! The video is long because it gives you timers. Feel free to use the timers or just turn it off after you understand the game.
COOL DOWN:
next week is push ups, practice your push ups...maybe do a couple, rest, then do some more... it's good to practice but don't overdo it.

Here we go! Our first test is the flexibility test--go ahead get warmed up & then see how it goes. Then have fun & play toss & catch. Have a great week!
WARM UP: TABATA
ACTIVITY: 1--Flexiblity/v-sit test. You will need 2 rulers. 1 ruler is between your 2 feet--so they are 12 inches apart, the other ruler is perpendicular to that so you can see how many inches you are from your feet. If you do not have rulers you can estimate. Things to remember--don't bend your knees, don't stretch quickly, and it should not hurt! You will just find out wether you can go past your feet or you are somewhere before your feet. If you are the ladder, it's best to try and stretch every day a little.
Once you get that done--here is just a fun activity for you called toss & catch...
COOL DOWN: Next week is sit ups---go ahead and do 5 sit ups, take a break, do 5 more, break and do 5 more....

1. Tabata Workout for Kids

2) Racquet - Minute to Win It!!!!
use a laundry basket and a whole lot of sock balls.....
set the timer & see how many sock balls you can hit into the basket with your racket in one minute.
Use an overhand or an underhand serve, use 4 feet distance or adjust until it's challenging.
Challenge your family or repeat at least 5 times and record your best score.

3. Pick at least 3 different cool downs from Marathon Kids (you can do more!)

1. Spring break is fast approaching! Use the alphabet fitness document to spell "Spring Break."

2.. Play your favorite song and jump rope to it. You should do at least 4 different types of jumps and try to have each jump flow into the next jump (no stopping). For example you must switch from a double bounce to a single without missing a turn of the rope. If you can't do that yet, that's ok. Just try your best! Play the song a couple of times and tryout different jumps each time. If possible, I'd love for you to submit a video so I can see how your jump roping is going.

**** Ask your parents where the best place is for you to jump rope and play the racquet game!!!! Do not do it near your computer or anything breakable!! You can always pause the video, then go to your backyard to do the jumps, then come back in to see how to do the next jump. You need space. Safety is always the top priority! ******

As always..... make sure you warm up by jogging, jumping jacks or dancing. Also do leg/calf, arm stretches (hold each one for 30 seconds).

1. Open the Elementary Jump Rope2 document and follow the directions. If you are still struggling with how to jump rope, go back to the lesson 2 weeks ago and start over. It is ok if you aren't able to do these jumps YET! What is important is that you keep trying!

1. If you are brand new to jump roping, start with the video "Beginning Jump Rope." If you already know how to jump rope, start with the video "OPEN Jump Rope." It will show you how to do different types of basic jumps. Follow and jump along with the video. If you need help sizing your rope (step on it and handles should go to your ears), watch my explanation on the Beginning Jump Rope video.

2. Flip the Cup Cardio: Challenge yourself! Make the line farther away, play multiple rounds. Make sure you time yourself each round. You can make this a 2 person competition game if you want. The other person would stand on the other side of the cups (same distance as you) and you would start with 3 cups up and 3 cups down. One person wants them all up, the other wants them all down. You both roll a die at the same time and run to flip the cup. Once all are up, or all are down, the game ends and you have a winner (either the cup up person or the cup down person). Or you can play by yourself like the video shows.
