5th/6th Grade PE Distance Learning
Please take a look at the weekly information we have posted (see below). You can use the weekly physical activity log to record your daily movement. Some goals to think about:
Physical activity and movement for a total of 60 minutes per day (take movement breaks, keep track of your time and aim for 60 minutes of combined movement time)
Try to include physical activity to support:
Flexibility: (examples) various stretches, yoga poses
Muscular Strength: (examples) push-ups, climbing up stairs
Muscular Endurance: (examples) planks, jump rope
Cardiovascular Health: (examples) walking, dancing
Play outside: fresh air is healthy for us! So take some time each day if the weather is cooperative and enjoy the outdoors.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Let us know if you have any questions:

Try out this Tabata exercise (see below). When you listen to the song, there is a voice that will tell you to "stop" and "go."
