WARM UP STRETCHES
Use this stretching fitness video I made with simple exercises from the FREE "SWORKIT" Fitness Stretching App.
We usually use the app but for this video I used screen-casted selected stretches, then edited them to an interval timer in "Tabata" format.

In this fitness warm up, there are 8 rounds. Each round has 15 seconds of work, with 5 seconds of rest in between. Copy the 'Sworkit' characters and focus on your movements and breathing.

Music: Chill Lofi "Days Like These"
Huge shoutout to SWORKIT for helping to create this instructional tool for our students!

TABATA FITNESS WORKOUT.
TABATA is a form of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) used by fitness programs ranging from elementary PE to professional athletes. Each exercise in a given Tabata workout lasts only four minutes, but it's likely to be a pretty sweaty four minutes if you're doing it right. The structure of the fitness program is as follows:

Work out hard for 20-30 seconds...
Rest for 10 seconds...
REPEAT.
Complete 8 rounds.

You push yourself as hard as you can for 20-30 seconds and rest for 10 seconds. This is one set. You'll complete eight sets of each fitness exercise.

This is a very simple fitness activity we sometimes use to warm up the students in our elementary PE class.

(Recovery Breathe mini lesson)
______________________________________________

RECOVERY/MINDFULNESS.
"Hey everybody! Coach Meger here, and welcome to mindful minutes.
For the next few minutes, we’re just going to relax our bodies and focus on our breathing...."

Mindful Reminders:
Remember to take deep, slow, even breaths.
In through your nose, out through your mouth.
Get comfortable. Let your body and mind relax.
Allow your mind to blank and only focus on your breathing.

Now, close your eyes, or you may watch the screen.
Breathe… Relax..."
