Perform various strength and flexibility exercises between bouts of walk, trot, and sprint. Examples are:

  4. Abdominal Challenges
  5. Trunk Twister
  6. Body Circles

TEACHING HINTS:

Tape alternating segments of silence and music to signal duration of exercise. Music segments indicate aerobic activity (30-45 seconds) while intervals of silence announce flexibility and strength development activities (30 seconds).

Assure that students run under control (not as fast as they can) and in the same direction.

Encourage students to perform at a level they feel comfortable. Youngsters are genetically different and should not be expected to do the same amount of exercise repetitions.
