SHAPE Challenge 6.0

Our St Albans Sport, Health and Physical Education (SHAPE) Team is encouraging our students, staff and families to take part in our Shape Challenge 6

This will ensure you are looking after your health and wellbeing in a safe and engaging way whilst learning from home, while also having some fun with your family and challenging your friends.

SHAPE Challenge Directions:

Staying Active During Lockdown

We are all aware of how important staying physically active is but now more than ever it’s super important for everyone, including our young people, to stay active at home or within your 5km for up to two hours exercising with one other person. Below are some ideas on how to stay active during lockdown.

1. Do a virtual running challenge with your family and friends - download a fitness app and share your results virtually with family and friends.
2. If you have a trampoline - spend some time jumping on the trampoline.
3. Help out by doing some chores around the house and getting your heart rate up.
4. Make a tennis wall at home - with permission from a parent/guardian, use chalk to draw a horizontal line on a flat wall outside 1 meter from the ground to the line. Then you can play tennis against each other or even downball.
5. Get all family members to write down 5 different physical activities on different pieces of paper and place them into a bowl. Each day one member of the family takes out a piece of paper and everyone has to do the activity on the paper.
