As a volunteer coach for an elementary track team and basketball team, I see the benefits of children adding extra fitness plans into their day - or at least knowing how to add in exercises while playing. This workout combines playground activities, creative workouts in the yard using cones to run around, and actual workouts I do with my track team and speed and agility clinics. This workout focuses on a goal of passing the President's Physical Fitness Standards in pullups, pushups, situps, shuttle runs, and 1 mile timed run. Working up to these standards can be fun, challenging, and a great way to spend time with your kids. You and your child can rank yourselves with the Fitness Charts provided by the Council. Also - email me anytime for more ideas as I will be creating another page on the site for people to share fun workouts done with groups of kids. Email Coach Stew at stew@stewsmith.com |
