Health and Wellbeing 

 

Hi everyone, I’m really missing our gym time! We haven’t had gym for a while now…so it’s time to wake up our bodies!

 

I’m going to start doing more exercises at home, because it will keep me strong and make me feel happy! Why don’t you join me?

Remember we need to look after our heart and stay healthy.

 

Since it is Monday we will ease in gently! So lets get back to basics today with doing our warm up, developing our balancing skills, and a cool down. Then as the days go on, more ideas will be added…and it will feel like being back in the gym hall again!

Lets start with a warm up. We need to tell our bodies to get ready to exercise. Then it won’t get such a fright!

 

Warm up 

 

Lets stretch up and reach the sky

Touch your toes

Swing your arms

Turn around

Kick your feet

Shake your feet

Marching

Hop on one foot

Run fast on the spot

Star jumps

 

 

Lets practice balancing!

 

How long can you stand on one leg?

 

Lift one foot up and then back down, keep changing feet slowly.

 

Here’s a challenge! Can you lift your foot out to the side /in front of you and hold for the count of 3? Who is wobbly?

 

Lets run on the spot, faster and faster!

 

Can you feel your heart beating yet? Well done! You’ve been working hard today. It’s time to do a cool down now. It’s important to give our bodies a rest too.

 

Cool down

 

Lie on your back like a star, breathing in and out.

 

Then curl into a ball and you can sing “See the little bunnies sleeping”.

 

Hip, hip hooray, it’s time to get up and enjoy our day! 

 

Don’t you feel better after exercising? Have a fun day.
