Fitness
6th Grade
Mr. Carr
- The fitness room is now up and running. We have some great cardiovascular machines that your children are using (7 recumbent cycles, 4 ellipticals and 3 treadmills). They are also involved in "Ground Training" when their partner is on a machine. Some examples of ground training exercises are step-ups, push-ups, crunches, wall sit, rope ladder, arm curls, medicine ball presses, balance beam and tricep dips.
Welcome to fitness. Your child only has fitness one day per week so it is very important that he/she is prepared for class. Remember, preparation includes a complete change of clothes (shorts, sweatpants, t-shirt) and a pair of sneakers. Also, the Fitness Log should be filled out during every class and initialed by a parent/guardian once a month (roughly every four classes). This log was stapled inside the planner (page 7 or 9) at the beginning of the semester. We have been talking about the importance of being active. Please help to make physical fitness a priority in your child's life. The Surgeon General recommends 30-60 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Thank you for your help.
