Health and Wellbeing – Being Active Is A Healthy Way To Be.

Hello P2,

It’s Mr Smith here with a ‘task setting’ activity to help us stay fit and healthy. This week I’d like you to discuss a powerpoint which tells us about the benefits of an active lifestyle.

I’d also like you to set a task for yourself in which you choose 3 exercises and record how many repetitions you can do in 1 minute for each one. Repeat this 5 times a week trying to beat your score each time. What is your personal best?

Make a note of what happens to your body after each session – is your heart beating faster? Are you out of puff and sweating? How do your muscles feel? Why do you think you feel like this? I have provided a worksheet for you to fill in with your scores and observations.

I’ve also included a second powerpoint which gives you some ideas of possible exercises and instructions on how to do them. You may want to some of these (don’t do the planks though as they are not repetitive).

Go on girls and boys, get busy and get your parents up on the floor to have a go.

Good luck!
