Health & Wellness: Fitness made FUN! | Desert Garden Montessori

Health & Wellness:? WEEK 1

by:? Ronda Jameel, Health & Wellness

Classes are off to a GREAT start and what an AMAZING group of kids!!

We are having fun getting to know each other and the kids are partaking in several different fitness activities.? It?s been quite hot outside this first week so we are doing our fitness classes indoors.? This takes a lot of creativity since we are limited on space but we have made the best of it and have had a good time.

Our education portion during our first week highlighted the importance of a warm-up and cool-down, eating breakfast, exercise safety, and we briefly talked about the cardiovascular system.? Each class has a workout and an educational component.

Fitness Class Reminders:? Safety First!

***For safety reasons, it is highly recommended children wear tennis shoes for class.? Sandals, flip-flops, boots, and sock feet are not suitable fitness attire. Children should wear comfortable clothing so they can move freely.***
