Flash Drill

INSTRUCTIONS:

To begin the flash activity, students stand in a ready position facing the teacher. The teacher says, “Feet,” and students stutter the feet. The teacher then flashes the following hand signals:

  • Hands up: Students jump up and return to stuttering feet.
  • Hands down: Students touch the floor and return to stuttering feet.
  • Hands right: Students shuffle right with hands in defensive position.
  • Hands left: Students shuffle left with hands in defensive position.

TEACHING HINTS:

The stutter step is a rapid step in place with very little foot lift.

Scattered formation.

Rope Jumping Fitness

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Jump rope—30 seconds. If unable to jump, practice swinging the rope to the side while jumping.
  2. Place the rope on the floor and do locomotor movements around and over the rope. Make different shapes and letters with the rope.
  3. Hold the folded rope overhead. Sway from side to side. Twist right and left.
  4. Jump rope—30 seconds.
  5. Lie on your back and hold the rope toward the ceiling with outstretched arms. Bring up one leg at a time and touch the rope with your toes. Lift both legs together. Sit up and try to hook the rope over your feet. Release and repeat.
  6. Touch your toes with the folded rope.
  7. Jump rope—30 seconds.
  8. Place the rope on the floor and do various animal walks along or over the rope.
  9. Do push-up variations with the rope folded and held between your hands.
  10. Jump rope—30 seconds.

TEACHING HINTS:

1. Use alternating segments (30 seconds each) of silence and music to signal duration of exercise. Music segments indicate aerobic activity with the jump ropes, whereas intervals of silence signal using the jump ropes to enhance flexibility and develop strength.


2. Teach students to space themselves so they do not hit others with their rope. Encourage non-jumpers, who eventually will learn the skill. Give praise and keep them motivated.

Rest Between Sets, Exercises and Workouts

INSTRUCTIONS:

Introduce and discuss Task Sheets 16 – 18

Task Sheet 16: Rest Between Sets, Exercises, and Workouts

Task Sheet 17: Biceps Curl

TEACHING HINTS:

Handout Task Sheets 16 – 18. Discuss the content of Task Sheet 16, ask students to study it, and then have them self-test their knowledge.

Partner students and have them complete the Biceps Curl and Triceps Extension lifts. Place emphasis on proper technique rather than the amount of weight or number of repetitions.
