During this mandatory state school closing, please try to keep your goal of living a healthy, active lifestyle. I am going to be posting some helpful hints, tips and videos on how to keep our physical and mental health in check during this time.
Please try to continue to work on the areas of our fitness testing that we have been working on in class. The tests include: the Mile Run, the 3 Minute Jump Rope, 1 minute Sit Up Test with arms across your chest and feet flat on the floor with knees bent, Push Up Test on your toes, Sit and Reach Flexibility Test, and the Shuttle Run.
Mile Run: There are many ways to work on your mile run, especially just outside in your neighborhood, at a track in your community, or on a treadmill. Here are some links that will help you with your endurance:
