Fitness continued!!

As we finish up fitness testing, we have continued to do fitness activities.  For one of our fitness activities, students go around the track and after each lap, stop to do a specific exercise.  This helps students keep track of how many laps they have done, and integrates some of the exercises and stretches we have learned throughout the year.  

Before starting any fitness activity, we discuss why fitness activities are important.  We use the term cardiovascular fitness for *heart health*.  We do activities to make our hearts beat faster, because that makes our hearts stronger and more healthy.  We also are doing these activities to prepare for the Haisley Hustle Walk-A-Thon, Friday, May 17!!
