Tabatas
Throughout this remote learning experience, these types of workouts have been favorite. They are brief, high intensity, and usually include all fitness components (cardio, muscular strength/endurance, and flexibility). Below are the Tabata workouts for the week. I've also included a soundtrack of "Uptown Funk" in Tabata form to allow you to make your own workout. Pick your favorite exercises and create your own Tabata! If possible, send along a video of your personal Tabata workout (don't forget to give it a name!) and I will share it on my website.

Sworkit Kids
Sworkit Kids is an exercise and fitness app aimed at students in elementary and middle school, though it can be used for students of all ages and even adults. The app guides students through exercise routines focusing on strength, agility, flexibility, and balance, such as doing the crab crawl, squats, or side plank.
You can do the workouts on any device, but easiest to download the app to your phone for a quick 5-minute workout!

Fitness videos this week are from a inspirational website called Athletes for Hope whose "mission is to educate, encourage and assist athletes in their efforts to contribute to community and charitable causes......whether they’re professional or amateur, young or old, all athletes have an innate desire to push the limits. They strive to achieve their full potential, elevate their sport and inspire others."

Let's keep the Superhero theme going as it will take a Superhero mentality to continue remote learning through the end of the year!! Pick out your favorites and try to do a workout daily, working towards that 60 minutes a day of physical activity.
Any workouts listed as "Tabata" generally are 4-minute workouts that include 20 seconds of very high intensity training followed by 10 seconds of rest.
In addition to the activity posted here, there will now also be a recorded lesson page which will include both fitness and skills.
