Week 2: P.E.& Health Activities (March 23rd thru March 27th)

Dear Newfield Students & Families,

In addition to what we already sent home, and the activities previously posted on this P.E. Blog, here are some workouts to help you to get in your "moving minutes." Remember to e-mail us with any questions or modifications you may need. We are here to help you!

This week, we will be focusing on Yoga. Yoga is good for the mind, body, and heart. It's also excellent for relaxation, all while improving your strength, coordination, and flexibility. Best of all, you don't need anything except some good personal space! Did you know that LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neil, Sean Burke, and Tom Brady all do Yoga?!! (Just to name a few).

25 WAYS TO GET MOVING IN THE CLASSROOM
As you already know, our objective each and every P.E. class is for your to get your heart rate up to help keep your body heart healthy. Try these new exercises below and see which ones get your heart rate to go up, and which ones help to cool you down. Now, let's compare and contrast. THINK ABOUT IT?  Can you recall other exercises from last week's P.E. activities which made your heart rate increase (go up)? Remember, when you do physical activities which increase your heart rate, that's great exercise for your heart - which is called cardiovascular exercise. Can you find other exercises from last week's P.E. activities which make your heart rate decrease (go down)? Try these out!
