Making it Fun!





Here is a workout I did with my PE c;asses this past week, but one you could modify for your self.

1. I divided the class into 4 teams (I tried to make them as even as possible)

2. I assigned points to exercises

A. 10 Sit-ups = 2pts
B. 10 push-ups = 3pts
C. 20 KB Swings = 5pts
D. 1/4 mile jog = 10pts

Rules:

1. Must finish and start as a team
2. They can do whatever exercise they want they just can't do it back to back. For example the team could jog 1/4 mile then do 10 sit-ups, and then jog again. The team was not allowed to run 1/2 mile at once to accumulate 20 points.

The team with the most points would get extra credit when the workout was over. I allotted 20 minutes.

The students encouraged each other it was fun for them and they got one of the best workouts of the year, give it a shot.

Jillian Michaels is a quote "Super Trainer"
