Make Plans to Beat the Winter Blues
Our first marking term has come to a close and all Memorial students have received individual reports on gross motor skills (grades 1-2) and fitness reports (grades 3-5).
Parents are encouraged to utilize these reports to ensure the best possible skill and fitness levels for their son/daughter. No matter what level your child is at, there is always room for improvement.
Remember everyone needs exercise.
Play catch or get your children to go for a walk or run with you.
FYI: A recent Newsweek cover story cited recent brain research that showed how exercise is not only good for overall general health but also for learning, memory and higher-order thinking. Less than an hour after a vigorous workout, your brain is working better.
Important Tips to Remember:
A healthy body needs daily exercise...
60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise
(bike, run, swim, walk)
Exercise once a week is NOT enough!
Make a game plan and stick to it for the best results...
A body in motion tends to stay in motion, a
body at rest tends to stay at rest.
Activity ideas for the Winter months:
Sledding- walking up hill
Snow Shoeing
Cross Country Skiing
Brisk walking (mall walking)
Join a Health Club (Swim)
Please Do Not Go into Hybernation...
Good Health and Fitness require consistency
Happy Exercising
