Staying Fit!

So the girls decided to move into the direction of earning some patches. So we started with an energizing one....staying fit!

To start, we started by warming up with  some lunges.

 

We warmed up our arms too.

 

We did some leg exercises.

 

And did some push-ups.

 

Then we watched a short video on eating healthy.

 

We made "my plates" where the girls created a healthy meal using the healthy food groups that they learned about.

 

We then tried a calming exercise by doing some yoga.

 

But then we headed to the gym to get our heart rates up.  We played this game where there were hula hoops around the gym.  The girls would run laps around the gym until we yelled "stop."  Then they had to find a hula hoop and there was an activity in each hula hoop that they had to do.

 

Some had to do toe touches.

 

Some had to do high knees.

 

Some did jumping jacks and some did squats.

 

This quickly wore them out but we taught them one more exercising activity that they could take home. It's called Fitness Uno.  You divide into teams and pass out the cards face down.  Based on the color, depends on what kind of exercise the person who turns over the card does.  The number is how many reps you do.  The first team to get through all their cards wins!  

 

We tried it and it was tiring but so much fun!

 

Hope the girls taught their families this fitness game!
