Student Led Fitness - Grade 8

I am a group with Arno, Jasmine, and Leigh Ann. We arranged it so that it has a 2-minute warm-up, 7-minute workout, and a 2-minute cool-down. First, we spin our arms forward for 10 seconds. Then, we spin our arms backwards for 10 more seconds. And then, we stretch our arm muscles for 10 seconds (5 each), then we stretch the insides of our arms for 10 seconds (5 each). And then we will rotate our bodies for 10 seconds. Then we stretch the sides of our bodies for 10 seconds (5 each). Then, we stretch our thighs for 10 seconds (5 each). Afterwards, we will stretch the inside of our legs for 10 seconds (5 each). Then, we go up and down on the stairs for 20 seconds continuously. Then, we jog slowly for 1 and a half minute. Then, we do jumping jacks for 30 seconds. Then, we shuffle for 30 seconds. Then, we Criss-cross for 30 seconds. Then, we do jumping jacks for 30 seconds again. And then, we have a water break for 1 minute standing up. Then, we do at least 7 push-ups for 30 seconds. Then, we do at least 7 sit-ups in 30 seconds. And then, we do lunges for 1 minute from line to line. Then, we do 12 burpees at least for 1 minute. Then, there is another stand-up water break for 30 seconds. And then, we do a slow walk around whatever place we are at, for 30 seconds. And then, we go up and down and touch our toe for 20 seconds. Then, we do a butterfly stretch for 20 seconds.

I don't think this is too challenging - the first part has stretches, so that should be too hard to do, and it should prepare people to do some real exercise without twisting or straining their muscles. And then the stair stepping and the slow jog kind of helps it lead into the workout and is something we usually do in class. The jumping jacks aren't that hard. Shuffling and criss-cross is also something we do in class sometimes for our fitness unit. It starts to require some energy and breath, so there is a time for jumping jacks, a tiny bit less intense. When you get back your air, you should and need to get water, and it's good to do so. And then, there is the ones that train your muscles and make them strong. There is a number of push-ups and sit-ups and burpees you have to do with a time limit, so people have a speed that is set for them and can't just not do it, so it won't be too easy. The lunges train the leg muscles, we can't forget about them. And then, the water break again is healthy for your body. The slow walk allows you to catch your breath a bit. And the toe-touch allows you to stretch and stand up while doing it before you sit to do the butterfly stretch.
