Tabata training is a 4 minute workout where participants alternate between 20 seconds of exercise followed by a 10-second rest. We have fun with these fast paced workouts. You can choose 8 different movements on your own and use a timer or find a song on iTunes or Youtube meant for tabata. You can also follow along in one of these videos:

This is similar to an activity we did earlier in the year called Paddle It Up.

Students will need:

• A partner

• Two books (thin hardbacks, notebooks, even a thick magazine)

• A ball (sock ball or balled up paper work great)

Hit the ball between two or more partners with books as paddles.

Pro tip: hold the book with two hands.

Play a song and see how many times you can hit the ball before the song finishes. If the ball falls, just pick it up and keep counting your hits where you left off.

Challenge: How many times can you hit the ball back and forth without letting it hit the ground?

• Students will need:

  • A partner

  • Two different colored balls. (balled up socks work great)

  • A third object or ball to the the target or the pallino

To start, player one throws or rolls the pallino out in the playing area.

Then each player rolls his or her ball with an underhand roll towards the pallino.

The person who is closest to the pallino wins a point.

Player two then rolls out the pallino. Players take turns rolling their ball towards the pallino.

Continue to play, alternating who throws out the pallino, until one player reaches 10 points.

The first player to reach 10 points is the winner!
