Polar GoFit Day 1

Today was the first day that all the 6th graders wore the Polar heart rate monitors.  They participated in color tag as their fitness workout.  The goal for the students was to be in the target heart rate zone throughout class.  Below is a picture and video of the students in action.  Tomorrow they will receive their user name and password so that they can log-in to www.polargofit.com.  They will be using the heart rate monitors every fitness day throughout the school year.

Fitness Friday

Last Friday, our middle school students learned a new fitness tag game.  The game is called Levels and the students try to run past taggers in each "level" of the gym.  This was a fun way for students to work on their cardiovascular endurance.  By the end of class, a majority of the students faces were red and sweaty.  Below are some pictures of the students in action.
