Racetrack Fitness

INSTRUCTIONS:

Five or six fitness activities are arranged in the center (the Pit) of a large circle outlined with marking spots (the racetrack). If desired, tumbling mats can be placed in the center of the racetrack to delineate the pit stop area. Students work with a partner and alternate running (or doing other locomotor movements) around the racetrack and going to the pit to perform a strength or flexibility exercise. A different exercise should be performed each time, so students assure variety in their workout.

The following are some examples of exercises that can be used for Pit exercises.

Arm Circles
Bend and Twist
Abdominal Challenges
Knee to Chest Curl
Push-Up Challenges
Trunk Twister

TEACHING HINTS:

Intervals of 30 seconds of music with 10 seconds of silence can be used to signal role changes. The student who was running the track now goes to the pit to exercise and vice versa.

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

Allow students to perform at a level they feel comfortable.

Students are genetically different and should not be expected to do the same amount of exercise repetitions.

Service zone area (Service line, Short line, Drive Serve lines)
Service Boxes for doubles play; Receiving lines
Front Court Area; Back Court Area
