steps to the top of the Empire State Building in New York? All you need is a set of stairs to climb up and down. If you really want to challenge yourself you could give Ben Nevis a go - 8,810 steps or younger pupils might want to give their legs a rest

Virtual Health

Week 2020

Tips to play at home

• Use ‘freeonlinedice.com’ if you don’t have a dice

• When playing in a group, decide the winning number of points (first

player to receive 10 points wins)

• You could play individually and count the number of points you get in

a set playing time (e.g. 20 mins) and try to improve that next time

Choose your level

• Bronze – use reps on board

• Silver – add 5 extra reps/seconds to every exercise

• Gold – add 10 extra reps/seconds to every exercise

Can you move 2020 times? We are living in the year 2020 …what a fabulous

number that is. Can you move 2020 times? DO 2020 sit-ups, keepie ups or

hoola hoops? What about jumping on the spot, bouncing on a trampoline or

bending down and touching your toes. YOU DECIDE.

Guidance

• Track your moves, use a tally chart to help you. You don’t want to end up

doing too many now, do you?

• Chunk it up, maybe start off slow, try 50 reps, 100 or maybe 25 and have a

break. Maybe you will do 500 moves at the start of every hour? When and

how you break them up is totally up to you. We don’t recommend you do all

2020 in the one go…that might be a bit crazy!

• Why don’t you choose 4/5 different exercises and do a little circuit, maybe

20 moves of each and repeat until you have moved 2020 times.

• If you want you could time yourself, add up all your chunks and see your

total time to complete all 2020 moves

• If you feel 2020 is a lot to do by yourself, share it out with a family member,

giving each person a certain amount…you choose.

Can you complete 2 different activities each lasting 20 minutes each? Maybe

you can do something in the morning and something else in the afternoon?

Guidance

• This can include your daily exercise – a walk, jog run or cycle.

• It can be something you do individually – Put on some music and dance, do a

HIIT session or yoga. • It might be something you do with a family member –

playing Swingball, Tennis or throwing and catching a ball

Spell your name – Do the yoga!!
