  HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE! Welcome to another week of distance learning in PE class. I wish I could be at school and getting to see all of you - I miss you guys! This PE from home thing is just not my favorite and I'm sure it's not yours either but I pray for you all and hope you are doing well and staying active - yay for the sun being out the last couple of days! 😆🌅 The link below is to another fun activity of "Fitness Monopoly" to try if you're interested!   Fitness Monopoly

  HOME-STYLE PHYS. ED. EQUIPMENT I remember back in the day for my PE classes at ZCS (8th grade Class of 1989!) that we had a ton of "home made" equipment that we used. Whether my teacher Mr. DeJonge was handy or just frugal, I'm not sure. 😉 Either way, these pieces of equipment did the job. In case you're looking for some ideas to use from your own home supplies, here are a few: EASY TARGETS - use for throwing, kicking, tossing, bowling, etc. - cereal boxes - water bottles - used toilet paper cardboard rolls - shoe boxes   EASY SPORT EQUIPMENT - coffee can lid (or similar) as frisbees - balloons (great for striking) - jump ropes - cut out the bottom of plastic milk or laundry bottles as "catchers"   example here   - larger Amazon boxes (I know you now have them!) as hurdles - socks filled with tennis balls (or anything!) for tossing - bed sheet as parachute - hand weights (sand filled anything, large food cans...

EASY DAILY EXERCISES Anyone looking for another example of an exercise regimen to do daily? Maybe as a family while you're stuck at home? Maybe during your scheduled "physical activity" time you've included in your new "school day"?  Here is a great list of easy, in-home exercises to do! Pick and choose, multiply the frequency and/or time, add your own! HOLD ON TO A CHAIR AND STAND ON YOUR TIPTOES FOR ONE MINUTE DO 25 SQUATS HOLD THE "SUPERMAN" POSE FOR 20 SECONDS DO 25 WALL PUSH UPS (KEEP THAT BACK STRAIGHT!) DO SIDE LEG LIFTS (20 EACH LEG) DO 50 JUMPING JACKS JOG IN PLACE DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS DO FRONT LEG KICKS WHILE COUNTING TO 100 BY 2'S PUT YOUR FEET UNDER THE COUCH OR A CHAIR AND DO 25 SIT UPS DO 25 LEG LUNGES 

  Hi everyone!    This is a post for mostly MS students - especially those who are missing sport's team training. And it's a shameless shout-out to my former volleyball teammate at Judson University (best middle hitter I ever set for 😆) Jen (Gentry) Salazar who now lives in California and works for In-Shape Health Clubs.   Some coaches have reached out to you for specific workouts but in case you're interested, the link below will lead you to another one.  (You will need to scroll down a bit to find the post from March 25.) # inshapeattitude Enjoy if you like! Miss you all! Praying we'll see each other yet this spring!🙏  

BRAIN BREAKS "ROOM MOVE!"  So much research has been done in favor of taking "Brain Breaks" (a.k.a. "We've been sitting and trying to focus for too long!! We can't take it anymore!!") when in comes to learning. BENEFITS INCLUDE   INCREASED BLOOD FLOW TO BRAIN & MUSCLES RE-SET IN ATTENTION  RETAINING INFORMATION POSITIVE CHANGE IN ATTITUDE  REDUCED STRESS  INCREASED COGNITIVE CREATIVITY Here is a simple activity to include in your daily schedule while distance learning. It's called "ROOM MOVE!". Here's how it works: Give yourself some space. Get ready to move! Leader will give the first "move" signal... Be ready to change the move after 15-20 seconds!  MOVE SIGNALS: - Move like you're jumping rope - Move like you're in slow motion - Move in an army crawl - Move like a bee is chasing you! - Move like you're hula-hooping - Move in a crab walk - Move like you're in a ...

THE FOLLOWING LINKS ARE GREAT BECAUSE - THE EXERCISES REQUIRE NO EQUIPMENT - YOU CAN CHOOSE THE TYPE OF EXERCISE YOU WANT - YOU CAN CHOOSE THE FREQUENCY (HOW MANY) - YOU CAN CHOOSE THE TIME (HOW LONG) YOU PERFORM THE EXERCISES. - YOU CAN CHOOSE AND MODIFY THE LEVEL OF INTENSITY (HOW DIFFICULT) PERFECT FOR A DAILY ROUTINE https://www.myfamilyfirstchiro.com/holiday-fitness-calendar-24-days-to-a-stronger-back-and-core/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/603482418799874230/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/110690103322061495/  

WHAT IF I'M NOT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL P.E. RIGHT NOW? IS THIS REQUIRED? WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE A WORK OUT ROUTINE? WE DON'T HAVE YOUTUBE Deep breath my people! If you read the beginning info on my first post (which I'm shocked... I say SHOCKED!!) that you skipped/skimmed over instead of actually reading (I know you all miss my sarcasm😜 ) you'll notice that nothing is required yet. These are suggestions and resources meant to give you a starting place if you're looking for one. Oh, and they're working at unlocking YouTube I hear... so stay tuned. MEANWHILE: It's warming up!! Yay!! Get outside this weekend and send me a pic of something (maybe unique??) that you did while you were there. I'd love to see your smiling faces! (No, this isn't "required" either... 😎) Share here or send me an email sjmiller@zcs.org
