week of March 16

It will be a busy week, so much going on!

Our new Lifelong Fitness teacher begins Monday, Ms Basi.
We spend a bit of time at the beginning of each period to introduce her!

We have our annual Wellness Fair on Wednesday.  If you interested in helping out,
just come see me!  It should be a very fun day.  If you have a volunteer sheet, please
turn it in to me Monday. We need about 20 students per time block.

We begin our new sports - floor hockey in the gym and ultimate lacrosse
in the cafe, or outside.

We will also fitness test this trimester, have a dance unit for the 6th grade
and in a few weeks begin our outdoor sports.

So everyone suits out on Monday and let's have some fun!

Have a healthy and happy week!

Tuesday the 10th for 7/8th grade workout programs

Just a quick reminder...

All workout programs should be in to me by now.
A few of you have spoken to me and yours are due no later then Thursday.

That is the final cut off date.

This blog/dates are for MY classes!!!
Others can use the information, but we all have different turn in dates.

The subs turn in date was today-Tuesday.   Unless of course you have been absent for a week or so and you need another day.  I cannot change the turn in date for him.  And I NEED time to grade.  Please turn them in.   Thank you for those in the subs class who have turned them in on time!  You are awesome!  The final cut off for late papers is Thursday also.

Have a great 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!

week of March 2
