Week 3
We will continue adding to Weeks 1 and 2 by learning 4 ways to ROLL!
Being able to MOVE is such a blessing. This is a book I'm reading at the moment and it has some really interesting ideas and stories that I'll share with you over the next few weeks...
What you need - 1 pack UNO cards
How to play -
Select 20 cards randomly from the deck
Place the 20 cards face down on the floor
Turn over the cards one at a time
The colour determines the exercise (see picture)
The number on the card is how many times you
should do the exercise
Pop on some music to enjoy while you warm up!
Set up an area where you can perform these rolls safely...
Try a carpeted area, outside on the grass or on a yoga mat.
Make sure there is no furniture in the way!
Kneel on the floor and put your head down to your knees to form a TUCK SHAPE
Hold your arms tight against your body
Roll to the side until you are back to your start position!
Lie on your back in a STRAIGHT SHAPE
Roll onto your tummy, hands and feet off the ground
Continue rolling from dish, to arch, to dish, to arch...
Sit in a STRADDLE SHAPE
Arms hold under your legs (near your knees) and keep your muscles tight
Roll onto your elbow, shoulder, back, making sure you LOOK UP AT THE CEILING!
Keep rolling up onto your other shoulder, then into your straddle, pointing your toes
You should be facing the opposite way!
Even I gave it a go and eventually got the hang of it!!
If you can find a someone willing to give this a go, I'm sure you'll be impressed with what you can do!
So much FUN!
Stay in sync so you don't hurt each-other!
Start on one knee in an upright STRADDLE shape
Arms outstretched or hands on opposite shoulders
Roll onto shoulder, onto your back, then opposite shoulder
Roll up onto your opposite knee, opposite leg out
