Helped lead a warm-up in which the students completed a 4-minute #tabata getting their heart rates up and warming up their muscles in preparation for a full period cardio and strength training activity.

YES!!!

After finding out about Benji Ball I wanted this so badly. Now thanks to NNPS HPE Dept., I now have a set for my students.

I took it home and had my 4 year old test it out and he was instantly hooked!

Can’t wait to play with it in #PhysEd

Honored to have been selected to instruct another round of professional development for the high school HPE teachers with Newport News Public Schools.

We focused on 🥏 activities while in the Levers, Force, Motion, and Rotation Unit of PE1

Man, that’s a lot of mats!

Had the pleasure of attending a “winter refresh” PD opportunity with WJCC school’s at Toano Middle School two weeks ago.

Big shout out to Ron Trainum (WJCC), Jen Barnes (PCPS), and Kori Fielding (WJCC) for providing some awesome content to bring back to my students

Bring in the pool noodles‼️

Yesterday I taught my students proper form for variety of strength training exercises. The noodles were a great resource to use in their case.

Had the pleasure of jumping in with a student in my IPE class to help him complete the “You Go, I Go” AMRAP workout.

Heart rate up ✅
Body temperature up ✅
Muscles loose ✅

Thanks to VBCPS’ Roberta Guimond for showing me at the ‘24 VAHPERD conference.

The “Hula Hoop Workout” was a great way to get my kids moving and utilize a piece of equipment that HS doesn’t get to use that often.

You.fo sports introduced themselves to us HPE teachers in VA at the ‘24 VAHPERD convention.

Thanks to @GielBos on teaching us the game and hooking my son and I up with a set to take home. We’re absolutely loving it!

Check out this new sport (to us Americans.)
