“Four Corner” Fitness Setup as Instant Activity

Four Corner Fitness Warm-up

Students move at own pace from corner to corner. Completing each dynamic warmup movement listed in order shown. They complete ALL #1’s on their first round then move on to #2’s on so on. !*FAVORITE ADD-ON: Rock-Paper-Scissors in every corner! Winners moves to next corner. Loser finds new player. Rotate if lose 3x in a row.

= Fit Spot Exercise

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10

Student & partner switch places before rotating. They will do the Jump Rope and Fit Spot one time each and then move down one spot. When done with spot #10 go back to start (spot #1). It’s a good idea to make #1 a rest station.

Jump Ropes alternate

sides for safe spacing.

Larger classes: Put three students per station and add another exercise or a footwork drill (side to side hops, etc.)

Key:

= Jump Rope

Jump-N-Spot Circuit

Use same setup as above BUT: alternate fit spots with QuickCup Stack Challenges. Students practice stacking skills and is a fun REST station that keeps them engaged.

Mind-Body Connection: QuickCups Stack Spots

Jump-N-Spot & STACKit Circuit

Rep-N-Run Circuit Setup• Each student pair is at

a spot (or mini cone) for their “home base”!!

• Each pair or group has own equipment: jump rope, exercise band, etc. & handout.!!

• You can modify the number of laps per switch (start at 1) and also the mode of movement (jog, skip, grapevine, etc.)
