1 Hour of H2Ox Fun
This is a
Step pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 15573)
Start with a 15 minute warm up...then
- Continue jogging with extended punches
- Jog with high wide knees, like a football player running through tires-keep punching in front
- Reach for opposite foot in front
- Switch to charleston kick, heels come to rear with hands coming to opposite feet in back
- Extend legs straight in back for leg lifts-squeeze your buns and cross arms in back
- Change to stride swings with sliding feet
- In chest deep water, add a tuck so knees squeeze to chest
- If comfortable, suspend stride swings and get feet off the floor
- Pendulum swings
- Small (junk) kicks in front, pumping arms
- In place, kick legs higher and flex feet, start reaching for toes
- Bring kicks to side, same hand to same foot
- 1 More time, kick out in front and reach past toes
- 1 More time, bring kicks to the side, same hand to same foot
- "Sneak" legs back behind for leg lifts with push and pull arms
- Push and pull with arms to middle, side, singles and doubles
- Jumping Jills (feet start and end together, jump and legs go 'out in' really quick
- Bunny hops
- In place, change from bunny hops to hopping on 1 foot
- Add karate kicks-both sides, alternating and traveling
- Jog easy for about 15 seconds
- Jog with sprint-you pick the arms-2 times, 30 seconds each
- Try to keep jogging for a 6 second pulse check
- Water break
- Rocking horse with push and pull arms-shoulder blades squeeze back, upper body exercise
- Stop with feet shoulder width apart, open up arms and do big and small arm circles, reversing directions
- Take out baseball bat for batting practice
- After 30 seconds, ask if anyone has hit the ball yet
- Have everyone run to first base-home
- Grab noodles, one for each person and invite them to kick widths or lengths, bicycle for 3-5 minutes
- Once back in shallow end, walk or jog with noodle ends in hand, pushing and pulling noodle.
- Change to jumping jacks, noodle matches legs with opening and closing
- Go back into jog/walk, hands in middle of noodle pushing down to floor
- Keep hands in middle and roll noodle--ask them to reverse!
- Find favorite spot in shallow end, maybe near wall
- Put noodle under foot, start stomping
- Change to a half jumping jack, leg comes out and in to side. Noodle stays near floor (not surface)
- Switch leg so it goes forward and backwards, long in front, long in back
- Keep foot in middle of noodle, grab ends and stretch out your foot
Repeat with opposite leg
Continue to stretch out.
