Family Fitness also show the importance of setting goals and patterns that are healthy, such as allowing time for a walk, a bike ride, or some other physical activity that can be done independently or together as a family.

Module #1 – Making Time for Movement
(Week of January 2-11)
Watch this unit’s video at the link above.
- Module One – Week One: Goal Setting, Scheduling & Prioritizing movement
- Teaching: Discuss time with your students. The way we use our time has a huge effect on our bodies and health. One of the main principles of fitness is, “Form follows Function.” Whatever you do the most will win. Slouch a lot, and you’ll look slouchy.Move a lot, and you’ll look like you move. But it’s not really about looks, is it? This whole course will keep circling back to the TRUTH that our choices affect our health and fitness at every level from your deepest core outward. For starters, let’s be sure that we have TIME to move.
- What are the most important things to spend time doing?
- What things take a long time and happen slowly? (i.e waiting for a birthday, taking a long walk)
- What kinds of things happen fast? (i.e. the birthday itself, one jump in the air)
- Why should we spend time moving?
- What do you think happens if we don’t move our bodies?
- Use this week’s printouts to make time for fitness.
- Watch the video for this month!
- Physical Activity: Play “Freeze” and practice holding different moves for 10-60 seconds to reinforce the muscles needed for slow or still activities.
- Physical Activity: Since “hitting our goals” is a lot like hitting a target—it takes practice and focus—set up a basic target game and play for 20-30 minutes.
- Throw toys into a basket
- Play darts
- Pin the tail on the donkey
- Throwing to hit a mark on a tree
- Archery
- Movement can last just a few seconds or a longer period of time. Use this chart to brainstorm a few ideas for fast and slow ways to get moving. Make a similar chart (it doesn’t have to be fancy) like this one to brainstorm what types of motions or activities would fit in each section. Spend some time doing them throughout this month.
