You will need a half full (or half empty!) water bottle and something soft to roll around on. If you are worried about looking silly, maybe this isn't the challenge for you ;)))

"Headspace" and "Waking up" are two great apps to give you a chance to take care of your mental health and wellbeing through meditation and mindfulness. Here's a yoga session from headspace to give you an idea although most of what these apps offer is practiced without movement. If you would like to explore these apps further, here are the free ways to get started:
Headspace: We have created a free selection of meditation, sleep, and other experiences designed to support you during the COVID-19 outbreak. It can be found in the Explore tab in the Weathering the Storm category, on the iOS and Android Headspace app. Please give it a try and feel free to tell your friends and family.

This video actually came from the FI5 Challenge page, but we think that you guys can manage it too! Fitness blender is a great website full of workouts for all levels as well as healthy living and nutrition advice. Hello again everybody, great to "see you" again! Let's get started with a bang, I know we have done this one before, but if you have kids in secondary school, this is their challenge today so you could all do it together to get the whole family back on track! If you haven't got kids in secondary school - you probably have lots of energy left after the Spring "break", so no excuses for not keeping up ;) LET'S GO!
Woo hoo - it's the holidays!!!
Here's a challenge to keep you busy and pass the time indoors. Remember, just because it's the holidays is no reason to stop being active. Use Sworkit, think of silly games to play with your family, look back over your favourite daily challenges so far, set yourself targets. These are all things that will keep us healthy and happy in these trying times. "See" you in two weeks everybody - Enjoy yourselves!
Oh, there is one more thing - If you look under More > FI5 Challenge, you will see that you can challenge a friend or teacher to a workout over the holidays - get involved!
Have you had time to mop the floor recently? If not you can kill 2 birds with one stone with Coach Veronika's workout today! Thursdays seem to be our Just Dance day these days. It's just a shame we can't get Rudi from logistics to bring us the costumes for this one! Enjoy! Here's a fun game to play on your own or with a partner. Can you get through a whole deck of cards?
If you are more than one, take turns turning over a card and doing the exercise (eg. 10 jumping jacks for the 10 of hearts). If you turn over a picture card (Jack, Queen, King, Ace), you can nominate another player to do an exercise of your choice. If you are on your own, you can take a break when you turn over a picture card (you will have earned it!) Here's coach Pierre with today's warm up fit in 5 - the real work starts when Rafa takes over as your coach! Have you been Sworking out? We hope so!
Let's go for at least 10 minutes over the weekend - the more the merrier! If you haven't got your free subscription yet: Step 1: Click this link Step 2: Select “Sign in with email” — input email, name and create your account password Step 3: Your code will automatically be applied. Your Sworkit membership is valid for one year. Please keep this code within the CDL community, it can only be used a limited number of times.

Sworkit have very generously offered us this code, please let us know what you think of their app in the comments and I will share your feedback with them. Thank you! Join Coach Guillermo in an abs workout using only a dining room chair! I'm sure you're ready for more Just Dance. Start with Happy then choose your own for a second dance. Let us know what you chose in the comments below. If you have kids in secondary school, invite them to join you, this is their daily challenge today as well! Tabata workouts are very popular these days. High intensity, 20 seconds on 10 seconds off. In 1996, Dr Tabata found that his subjects doing this style of training, 5 days a week for 6 weeks, resulted in a 28% increase in anaerobic and 14% increase in aerobic fitness. I have linked to a Joe Wicks' Tabata video here, some of you may recognise him as the guy doing excellent PE lessons every morning during this lockdown - brilliant! If you would like to do your own Tabata workouts, Circle Timer is an excellent free app to tell you when to start and stop. It's available on iOS and Android. Oh, some more great free stuff, the people at Pepsi have offered a free set of these amazing dumbells to all CDL households! Click the picture to claim yours.
How long can you hold a plank before taking Coach Guillermo's challenge? Try it more than once; as Gary Player said, "the more I practice, the luckier I get!" Here's an example of what our primary students are doing. These videos are called "Fit in 5" and we plan to come up with a series of them. Try this one then play it again but ignore Coach Jamie (just like most of his students do) and make up your own moves! Would you like to star in a Fit in 5 video? You can upload yours on the cdldailychallenge.com website under "Help us"; our primary students would be delighted to see you! |
