PE at home!

Whether you exercise on your own, with a partner, or in small group, it is very important that we designate at least 30-60 minutes a day to physical fitness. There a lot of fun movement activities on Youtube.com that you can watch and take part in. I will also be posting ideas on my page. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Be creative and have fun!!!

Even though you may not have me this quarter or year, you are encouraged to participate in the assignments. Everyone needs 60 minutes of exercise daily so make sure you are getting up and moving. Use these assignments as a guide or ideas for what to do!

At home fun fitness activity ideas!

Commercial break:

If you are watching television, during every commercial break get up and exercise. See how many repetions of each exercise can you do! Log your score and try and beat it the next time!

Commercial 1: Jumping Jacks

Commercial 2: Push ups

Commercial 3: Burpees

Commercial 4: Sit ups (any ab exercise can be used)

Commercial 5: Chair dips or air squats

REPEAT and do this for a second show!

Keep a Log :

Try and exercise for 60 minutes a day! Any type of movement that raises your heart rate counts! (riding your bike, walking, climbing stairs, jogging, jumping on the trampoline, jumping rope, playing games or sports outside, etc..) Record your days activities and journal how you feel!

Dance :

Turn on some music and get your body moving!! There is no wrong moves, any style music and style dance!! Freestyle (making up your own moves or routine) or performing a specific routine are both great!

Suggestions:

1. Have a dance party with your family! or your friends (via facetime or other similar apps)

2. Teach someone else a new dance routine. (one you learned or one you made up)

3. Play a dance video game!

4. Line dances, like cupid shuffle
