These push ups and sit ups should be done on all weekdays. If the
students feels pain in joints then exercise should be held back. If
a handicap or injury prevents the student to accomplish the homework
alternative exercises will be assigned at the teachers discretion. Parents
and guardians are encouraged to participate in the exercise. It is
also recommend that the students get approximately 20 minutes of continuous
movement exercise on a daily basis. For example, basketball, tag
games, soccer, swimming, roller balding, biking, or ice skating among many
other forms of leisure activity.
Reminder: Sixth grader's strength gains are usually due to neurological
development, and not hypertrophy (muscle growth), but hypertrophy is not impossible
as early onset of puberty could trigger it. Eighth
graders could see hypertrophy if they have an early onset of
puberty. * Only 8th grade, as I will see them all year long. And
they are also encouraged to do pull ups and chin ups. Along with
various other exercises that they will learn through their fitness unit. |
