Each class features age-appropriate and kid-friendly and fun exercise routines based on various proper circuit exercises and other fun fitness workouts. I break down the exercises clearly and easily live while adding games and activities that even mix in a bit of nutritional science. This class integrates aerobic fitness with muscular endurance and flexibility activities. I will teach each exercise live and encourage questions and interaction between students during the fitness program. We do not compete against each other in these classes as everyone is at a different level or has a different goal. I will often share ways of making an exercise a little harder or easier if I notice someone who needs that. Included in the workout is a warm-up and cool-down activity. I also incorporate 15 to 30 second rests between each activity, or at least active rests. Some exercise themes are: 10 ways to Jump Animal Fitness Fun School Olympics Living Room Fun What If... Would You Rather? Shuttle Runs Virtual Relays Timed Scavenger Hunts Water Bottle Workout Each workout is different to keep the excitement of being fit healthy and energized. No athletic background is required for the students, but those who are athletes will learn how to focus on certain exercises or change them to help in their sport development.
