Objective: Create a personal fitness routine

Gymnastics Unit | Level 32

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to create a personal fitness routine.

IMPORTANCE
Creating a personal fitness routine is important because regular exercise and activity help maintain and improve your overall well-being.

VOCABULARY
Exercise: physical activity that is done to sustain or improve health and fitness.

When creating a personal fitness routine, it is important to have:

PRACTICE

1. Spread out onto the field so that you are at least an arm’s length away from the person standing next to you. I will call out different exercises for us to do.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are Designing a Circuit Training Workout. In this game, the objective is to create a personal fitness routine as you and your group participate in your own circuit training workout.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into groups of three.

• With your group, decide which exercises you will do at each station.

• Stations will include:

  • Upper body

  • Lower body

  • Core

  • Cardio

• I will set a timer to go off every minute to help students know when to rotate stations.

• Before the training begins, decide which station you and your group will start at.

• When I say, “GO!” begin your workout. We will cycle through the stations.

• At the end of the work, spend 3-5 minutes working on stretching and flexibility.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:

  • Remind students this is not a competition – everyone should focus on their own progress.

  • Add more or less stations depending on time and class size.

  • Depending on time and amount of stations, cycle through the rotation 3–6 times.

• ELL Accommodation:

  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.

  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.

• SpEd Accommodation:

  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.

  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.

  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.

• Reflection:

  • What is a fitness program and who could benefit from one?

  • Why did you choose the specific skills you did for your fitness program?

  • Do you notice your body adapting or getting stronger from week to week?

  • Develop and describe three short-term and three long-term fitness goals.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are going to do a Class Lead Workout. In this game, the objective is to help you create a personal fitness routine by having you and your fellow classmates contribute different exercises to a workout.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into groups of three. Each group will be assign a portion of the workout.

• Workout portions will include:

  • Warm up

  • Upper body

  • Lower body

  • Core

  • Cardio

  • Cool down/stretching

• Once you are assigned your portion of the workout, decide with your group which exercise and the amount you will lead the class through (i.e., plank for 30-seconds or high knees for 20-seconds).

• Warm up groups will go first, each contributing their exercise

• Next, we will rotate through the upper body, lower body, core and cardio groups.

• Finally, we will end with cool down/stretching groups.

• The entire class will participate in the workout, unless your group is leading the exercise and you will be instructing as well as assisting student’s form.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:

  • Remind students this is not a competition – everyone should focus on their own progress.

  • Remind students to keep their exercises reasonable. Each exercise should take approximately 30- 45 seconds

• ELL Accommodation:

  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.

  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.

• SpEd Accommodation:

  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.

  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.

  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.

• Reflection:

  • What is a fitness program and who could benefit from one?

  • Why did you choose the specific skills you did for your fitness program?

  • Do you notice your body adapting or getting stronger from week to week?

  • Develop and describe three short-term and three long-term fitness goals.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are doing Workout Stations. The objective, is to help you create a personal fitness routine by having you create a workout station for students to do.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two groups– Group A and Group B.

• Group A will be facilitating the workout while Group B participates in the workout

• If you are in Group A, decide which exercise each of you will do.

• Each group will need a variety of exercises that include:

  • Upper body

  • Lower body

  • Core

  • Cardio

• I will set a timer to go off every minute to help students know when to rotate stations.

• If you are in Group B, choose a station to begin at.

• When I say, “GO!” Group B will begin their workout while Group A assists students in their form.

• At the end of the exercise rotation, Group A will have a turn to take part in Group B’s workout.

• When both groups are finished working out, we will all participate in a class cool down/stretching.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:

  • Remind students this is not a competition – everyone should focus on their own progress.
