PE Suggestions for Physical Activity
PUT DOWN THOSE PHONES, REMOTE CONTROLS
GIVE YOUR CHROMEBOOKS A BREATHER!
MOVE YOUR BODIES NOT JUST YOUR FINGERS!
Our PE staff wants to help you stay physically active and healthy while our schools are closed. We know that being physically active is a difficult task when you are at home. We suggest getting outside and going for a walk, jog, or a bike ride to get your heart rate up, but if that is not possible try playing the Card Challenge throughout the week.
All you need is a deck of cards and a small space to move.
Here’s how to play
:
Shuffle and select a series of cards from the deck, 12 would be a good start. Complete the following exercises represented by the card. Complete each exercise for 30 seconds to a minute. Each day try to increase the number of cards and the duration of each exercise.
A: Jumping Jacks
K: Plank Pose
Q: Cross over curl ups: Elbow to Opposite knee
J: Heisman shuffle, 4 slides and pose, then go opposite direction
10: Skater jumps
9: Quick feet, stationary run as fast as you can
8: Swan balance, stand on one leg and lean forward with arms out to the side, switch legs
7: Straight arm plank pose (can add shoulder taps for more of a challenge)
