week of October 6th
Another week of fun has gone by!
This week is a short week for all students.
The teachers have a work day Monday, but students get to sleep in!
I still made the assignments due Wednesday. But we will work on them in class on Tuesday,
so you will be able to finish on time. 7/8th graders need to bring chrome books to class.
6th graders please bring your planners and a pencils. We will begin class by helping you with your work.
6/7th graders assignment is to list all muscles and their locations on the body.
8th graders need to describe 10 muscles and their actions.
7/8th graders need to do this assignment on google drive.
That way we can work together and fix mistakes. And you will have a study guide!
Feel free to cut and paste the muscles from a previous blog.
If the 6th graders have access to a computer, feel free to sign up on Google Classroom for your
assignments. I will give you the code Tuesday.
8th graders- To figure out the action, you need to know the stretch. If the stretch lengthens the muscle, the actions shortens it. You learned bones last year. The action is directly related to movement of one or more bones and/or joints. For the abdominals you USE them doing a crunch. The action is a flexion of the spine. For trapezius you USE them by doing a shoulder shrug. The action is to elevate the scapula.
Here are some keys words for you: elevate, rotate, adduct, abduct, flex, extend and stabilize.
Look up these words if you need to know what they mean. I will help you understand the
anatomical context.
** I almost forgot. 8th grade has hearing van on Tuesday, so plenty of time to work on assignment!
The body is an amazing machine, let's work on making/keeping yours healthy and fit!
We are still in our pickle ball unit.
Make sure you are practicing your push ups and crunches at home:)
We will also have makeup miles this week.

It should be a fun week, so remember class is what you make of it. Always strive to be the best you can and you will be successful!
Have a happy and healthy day!

Workout program #3
The workout programs are looking good.
A few reminders:
Yoga is muscle endurance, it is its own workout, not under flexibility as an after workout stretch.
Flexibility is where you stretch after your workout! Stretching is done daily.
Body Composition IS your calorie (food) intake.
You need a basic and simple warmup and cool down, this can be the same all week long.
Stretching is not a cool down.
Do not just progress your workout by adding more repetitions. Make it realistic. Someone cannot do 3 sets of 400 pushups, 3 times a week. And why should they as a marathoner? :>
8th grade needs to be specific about their food intake. Is your athlete consuming enough calories for the workout? Are they drinking enough water and electrolytes? Are they getting the 3 main nutrients? You should look at your athletic nutrition handout from this year and your 5 fitness components from last year to help you out. Or previous blogs for help on the 5 fitness components.
If you want me to look at it before you turn it in, email or show to me and I will help you out!
All completed assignments must be hard copies. You can print them out at the library.
Please attach the cover page also.
All work is due March 9th (my classes) If you need more time, you must talk to me.
Other students not in my class, but I am grading, ASAP. But no later then Thursday please.
I need time to grade!
Have fun!

workout program # 2
Here are a few more helpful (hopefully) hints.
The introduction is where you tell me who you are training, age, ability and their goals.
Feel free to have the meals similar, I just want to know you know of a few good examples.
We do not want the athlete to be too bored with their foods.
The workouts can also be similar, just don't forget about progression.
Remember you can use your 5 fitness components worksheets to complete this.
or the info I gave you in the last blog.
Anything else? Please ask!
stay happy and healthy!

Workout program
Helpful hints for you!!
The easiest athlete to pick would be a marathoner. The athlete will be elite and strong.
The workout is not for you, but you are training someone. So make sure it is not easy.
The first thing you need to do is a grid sheet. Like the example with the worksheet you got.
If you do not have it look in this weeks blog. You can copy it or see me and I have copies.
Do the the five fitness components down the left side.
The days along the top. See below.

Then look at last years 5 fitness components to start filling out the form.
You want the workout to progress. You need to use frequency, intensity and time.
If you don't have last years form, it is all online, or you can use a packet from someone in my class.
Or you can use last years workout to start, As 8th graders you are adding/expanding on the food part.
I have seen the packet in everyones file, unless your file was lost.
Feel free to talk to people in my class or McMaster for help also. Both of our classes are doing the program.
Start with running on the cardio section. Remember cardio is 30 mins or more.
In ME maybe squats, lunges, biking or planks. Make sure you tell the athlete how often, how long and how hard. (Frequency, Intensity and Time)
For MS do HARD exercises, pushups, pull-ups and heavy weights.
For flexibility stretch the muscles you used. And again - F I T This is done daily
For body comp you are listing the foods they should eat!
There are no complete rest days, but you do not have to workout every component every day.
Except maybe flexibility, you can do yoga on easy days.
Feel free to let me see how you are doing so I can help you out. I get to school around 715, earlier if you need me to. But not too early!
I will put info as needed! Talk to me if you need more help!
Have fun!
Here is a site with all the components.
http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/fitness/body-building/the-5-components-of-physical-fitness.html#b
Here is more info.
FITNESS (From Hillsborough Middle school)
To prepare; make ready. A combination of physical and mental attributes that allow you to:
Meet the demands of everyday life and perform tasks that require ABOVE NORMAL EFFORT.
Being physically and mentally Fit, decreases the chance of injury or bodily harm. Most importantly it can
improve your quality of life.
There are 5 parts of fitness:
1)Cardiovascular Endurance, 2)Muscular Strength, 3)Muscular Endurance, 4)Flexibility and 5)Body Composition.
C - CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE
The most important part of fitness!!! Having conditioned HEART and LUNGS that can supply
the body with oxygen without stress to the heart. We develop it by doing Aerobic Exercise. Aerobic
Exercise is continuous exercise lasting 2 or more minutes. In order to improve cardiovascular endurance,
aerobic exercise should be performed at least 3 times per week, 15-20 minutes each day. Examples of
aerobic exercise-swimming, running, biking, shoveling snow and raking leaves.
MS - MUSCULAR STRENGTH
The amount of force produced by a muscle. Needed for activities that require above normal effort. Having
poor muscular strength will increase the chance of getting hurt when doing activities that require above normal
effort. To increase your muscular strength, you would perform exercises using heavy weight and do the exercise
3-6 times. The muscles get stronger when they keep working past the point of fatigue (when the muscle
has very little or no energy left). This forces the body to adapt (muscles get used to doing something,
what was hard is now easy for the muscle). Remember it takes time to allow your body to adapt!!
ME - MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
The amount of force produced by a muscle over a period of time. This is also if the muscles are doing
something over and over and over. Muscular endurance is also closely related to cardiovascular endurance. Why?
Because in order to perform aerobic exercise long enough (at least 15 minutes) to benefit the heart and lungs,
you need muscular endurance to be able to exercise continuously for this long. We improve muscular endurance
by using light weight and do the exercise at least 15 times.
F - FLEXIBILITY
The looseness or elasticity of a muscle, which allows the joint to move through a full range of motion.
This is the most neglected part of fitness. Flexibility is affected by: 1.Gender, 2.Age, 3. Size and condition of muscle
(tone v. bound) & 4.Level of activity. Muscles should always be warmed (by cardio) before they are stretched.
Poor flexibility increases risk of injury.
BC - BODY COMPOSITION
The percentage of body fat compared to lean body tissue. Lean body tissue is: muscle, bone, water & organs.
Can be a health problem if body fat percentage is not in the 5-30% range. Scale weight means nothing unless
you know your percent body fat, dont be mislead by height/weight charts-they are inaccurate.
