Ladder Exercise

1st Grade Footwork!!!
We introduced a new station for all of the classes today. The ladder exercise! We placed two speed ladders on the floor, these ladders are used to build up agility with fast footwork drills. The drills help the feet to adapt to fast patterns of footwork by duplicating the exercises over and over.

As usual, Becky added a twist to this regular station! The twist involved the students traveling through one of the ladders in the push up position. This enabled the students to work on their shoulder strength. This is especially helpful for the 3rd through 5th graders because of the FitnessGRAM push up test they will take in the Spring.

The students, Kinder through 5th grade, enjoyed this activity today!  It was so much fun to see them run through the drills like real athletes!
