Good Closing Today we learned the jab, cross, hook, uppercut, front kick, back kick, and roundhouse from CKB. With a partner, show them 1 punch and 1 kick using the proper cues. Great! We also learned the chair, warrior 2, bridge, downward dog, and plank poses from Yoga. So now with a partner, tell them the cues for 1 of those poses. Good. We also talked about strategies for “saying no.” Using these techniques along with the other self management concepts can help you increase your health and fitness levels. What are some of the strategies we learned? Also knowing the FITT principle for each fitness component is important. This tells you the recommendations that will assist you in maintaining or improving your Fitnessgram results. Make sure you turn in the FITT principle task sheets next class. Have a great day…
