fit in five is a classroom fitness workout for kids.
- No preparation by teachers
- No planning by parents
- No special clothing for children
- No sports equipment required
All it needs is a school computer, smartboard or DVD player and five minutes of time best suited to each classroom. Teachers and children simply follow the kids on screen as they work through a graduated program of routines.
Kids stretch, bend and twist. They move, shake and shimmy.
They lean, lope and laugh. They have fun. Best of all, they get fit.
The benefits are immediate. Teachers see kids grow more alert. Everyone feels good. Energy levels rise and everyone feels ready for whatever is next in the day. And all the time, they're getting fit!
So, give teachers a break, children some fun and watch everyone develop exercise habits
not just for school but for life.
Workouts are packaged in suggested Kinder to Year 2 and Year 3-6 levels.
Use FIT in FIVE as an energizing break between lessons to get kids brains and bodies working - it will be a welcome addition to any teacher's day.
