Some ideas to do at home:
1. TV Challenge: If students are watching TV at night, try a ‘workout routine’ to do during commercial breaks (i.e. short 2-3 minute circuits such as push-ups, crunches, squats, yoga poses, etc). Here are some more ideas to help you get started:
a. Jump rope (or pretend jump rope) for 1 minute
b. 3 sets of 12 tricep dips using a sturdy coffee table or chair
c. 15 squats holding a ball or book; lift the object into the air while jumping up from the squat
d. Stand next to the wall and try to tap the highest point on the wall you can reach by jumping up----repeat 15 times
e. 3 sets of push-ups----15 each set
f. Get on your hands and knees and while keeping your back straight, raise your right leg and left arm at the same time, switching back and forth----Repeat 20 times. Do 2 sets.
g. Walk up and down the hall doing lunges.
