Run for fun!
1) Practise a STANDING START for a race:
'On your marks' - Start with your foot behind the line
'Set' - Bend forward at the hips and knees
'GO!' - Push off and RUN!
This week is all about CORE STRENGTH and FLEXIBILITY!
1) Practice the following STATIC BALANCES by copying the poses below, holding each for at least 10 seconds.
2) Learn the names of each one OFF BY HEART!
3) Choose at least 5 to use in a "Slow motion routine", focussing on smooth transitions between each pose.
Hold your muscles TIGHT and try not to wobble!
2) Practise running in a straight line:
Make a start line (in your back yard)
Find a SPOT to run to
Look at that spot as you run towards it
Can you run FASTER?
Can you run TALLER?
3) Now lay some sticks across your running track.
JUMP over the sticks (hurdles) as you run
Can you do this 10 times?
