WEEK 6:

What fun we are having at Goal Getters!!!  The Jr. High worked very hard this week.  We had our 15 minutes of talk and share time and then did our stretches and got ready to move.  This was the workout we did.  Not once did they complain or groan, they all were encouraging each other even when they were tired themselves.  That's what a team does, they do their job and then go and encourage the others. 

5 min.	Warm up at a brisk pace with any cardio machine or activity
	Circuit 1
1 min.	Burpees Squat down and place your hands on the floor next to your feet.  In an explosive movement,  jump feet backwards into a push-up position, jump feet back between hands and stand up.  Add a jump at the end for more intensity, if desired. Repeat for 60 seconds.
1 min.	Front & Reverse Lunge   Holding medium/heavy weights, step the left leg forward into a lunge. Push back to start, lifting the left knee to hip level. Take the left leg back into a reverse lunge and push off the toes to come back to start. Repeat for 30 seconds and switch sides.
1 min.	Pushups On the hands and knees or toes, bend the elbows and lower into a pushup, going as low as you can. Push up without locking the elbows and repeat for 60 seconds, resting briefly if you need to.

At South we did the same, had our 15 minutes of talk and share and then we also did our stretches and got ready to move.  We played 4 corners, kind of like what you play at the skating rink.

The kids pretended skating forward, backward, and when the whistle was blown they moved to either corner 1,2,3 or 4.  Then a dice was rolled and what ever number it landed on, that corner was SAFE.  The other corners had to do 10 of whatever the dice roller wanted them to do.  Yes, we even did the chicken dance.  After our workout, the kids decided that last week they had toooooo much fun running in school that they wanted to do it again :)  So yep I let them run till their hearts were content.  (I just love the next day at school when I hear them saying to their friends, "Hey, we got to run yesterday in school and Mrs. Schaar even saw us." )



Friday at the Y the kids were allowed to swim the whole time and those who didn't want to swim, they got to hang out with Mr. Nick and play knock-out, dodge ball and other games to keep them moving.  Thank you Mr. Daniel for life-guarding and making it fun for the group, and thanks again Wal-Mart for supplying the snacks for the kids.
