FITNESS TESTING

In the first few weeks of the school year we did our "pre-test" fitness testing. The idea is to see where each individual scores compared to a national standard in the areas of cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, core strength, upper body strength, and trunk strength and flexibility. We also test haumana's blood pressure and take their height and weight. Mid-way through the year and again at the end of the year, we'll see if we have improvement in the areas of weakness.




We also spent some time learning about the importance of a DYNAMIC WARM-UP. What it is and how to effectively warm-up. Here's some photographic evidence of us warming up all our major muscles and joints, working from a low to higher intensity, getting the blood warm and the heart rate up enough to break a sweat!
