Cathe, have you ever taught a live aerobics class

[BeethovenRocks]

consisting solely of little kids? (ha, hope I gotcha!)

Back in school that was something our principal organized as a one off with a parent who was a fitness instructor (our class sizes were pretty small). We all had a keen time.

Would be nice, don’t you think, rompin’ around with a bunch of 8 to 12 year olds just for (cardio) kicks!

Hi Shelby! I did this for my son's kindergarten class last year. I volunteered for American Education Week and taught a brief exercise class to over 50 kindergarteners (a few classes combined). It was a lot of fun. I was blown away when I pointed to the back of my arm and said "what muscle are we using?" (my little guy was not allowed to answer, wink) and a little boy Matthew yelled out "triceps". Wow were they smart. We did all kinds of fun exercises "wiggle like worms, bend like trees, march like soldiers, jump like frogs, etc.

Thanks for reminding me of that fun day :7

Aw, sweet! Wow, 50 five year olds! I can just imagine the loads of energy they must have generated. It's so neat that some of them already knew the correct muscle groups.

What lucky little tykes to have had you all to themselves at such a young age. Looks like you've already been busy planting that fitness bug. That's it Cathe-girl, start 'em young!

Hugs and Happy New Year!
