The other day I was walking out of one of my classes trying to figure out why I was sweating so much. It wasn't that hot outside, so that couldn't be it. It didn't make any sense to me that every day after I'm at the preschool building I'm really warm and sweaty. Then it hit me. I'd found a far more intense exercise program than I could get at a gym. It goes as follows...
1. Walk 8 blocks.
2. Sing movement/marching songs with 2 classes of 5 year olds for half hour each, then 2 classes of 4 year olds for half hour each and then play "Ring Around the Rosie with a class of 3 year olds for half hour.
3. Walk another 5 blocks to the other building.
4. Teach a class of 6 year olds for 45 minutes, singing movement songs and moving around the classroom, catching kids who are talking.
5. Teach a class of 7 year olds for 45 minutes, singing movement songs and moving around the classroom, catching kids who are talking.
6. Walk 14 blocks home for lunch.
7. Walk 14 blocks back to the school for the afternoon.
8. Walk 14 blocks home.
(steps 9 and 10 happen a couple times a week)
9. Walk 14 blocks to the school/church for church service.
10. Walk 14 blocks back home to go to bed.
Preschoolers singing/marching "The Ants Go Marching". :)
There wasn't a box to click for "Good for you!" so I had to comment. I love it when life presents natural training, it's so much easier than trying to fit something extra in.
ReplyDeleteI know!! I should have put that it has the added benefit of being much more entertaining than any class, too. And that the instructors are much more demanding, if I slack off, they start swinging from the ceiling! :) (at least the 4 year old class, does)
