Hi, everyone!!! I hope you are making time to do your schoolwork. It is soooo important to keep up with all of the lessons that your teachers (including me and Ms. Beck) are giving you. I went for a run early this morning because it was warm and the sun was out! I ran 3 1/2 miles!! That’s about 16 times around our track at Henry Ford or 14 times around the track at Woodworth. Now…..I’m not saying you have to go out and run 3 1/2 miles everyday, BUT – you should be moving every day for 60 minutes and I don’t mean just using your thumbs and fingers (meaning phones and games)! LOL!! Break it up into 10 minutes sessions. You can do traditional exercises such as jumping jacks, push ups, crunches, sit and reach, push up planks, shoulder touches or push ups. OR….you can check out the links on the right side of this page or click on a link under the Special Area Section of your teacher’s lesson plans.
Whatever you do – DO SOMETHING! It’s easy for me to go out and run when the weather is good. But when it’s cold, its HARD! So I say to myself “I’ll go for 5 min. and see how it is”. Getting out the door and starting is harder than the run itself! Once I start, I always continue. It’s my mind that holds me back.
What I’m trying to say is – just sit down on the floor and start – maybe with the figure 4, then add another exercise, then another one and pretty soon you’ve been active for 10 min!
I CHALLENGE YOU TO – START TODAY!!!!
