October 18- Teaching Day 1

Today started our first day of student teaching! The first group to go did an intense workout with lots of lunges and push ups. We did push ups where we had to jump our legs from side to side in between each push up. Right after that we did push ups where we did side crunches in between. They were both definitely endurance testers. We also did jumps in the air, down to push ups and mountain climbers. I liked the first group because they really tried to push us to do workouts that were challenging. 

The second group that went slowed the pace down a little. First we used free weights to do side lunges. It wasn't extremely hard so we did a lot of reps. We also did twisting bicep curls and crunches. I liked the second group because they seemed to have fun while they were teaching.

The last group to go did a variety of exercises in a fun way. We started with jumping jacks and squats. We then all got into a circle and held a plank position while each person said their favorite Halloween candy and costume. We finished by playing ninja. I really liked that they added creativity and a fun spark to their workout.
