I was so happy to see that more people showed up today! It definitely made my day that much better. In the first group I had 5 kids. This made it fun, because we could actually play games and then talk about the health part of my project. I am glad that people are starting to show some interest, or just remembering that the class is going on. Either way it makes me happy to see that parents are willing to allow their kids to participate in my program. The second hour I again had Trent. He worked on his conditioning, and I talked to him about eating healthy. He is for sure feeling what it is like to workout everyday, and to start getting stronger. I have asked him each day if he was sore, and each day he has told me yes. The third hour I had four kids. We again played games and it was a blast. The two games we played were a tag sort of game, and then marco/polo in the pit. Both of the games were a challege, and worked on your cardio. Not only did we play the games, I talked to them about eating healthy. We talked about what was healthy to eat and what was not so healthy to eat. We also talked about what you should snack on if you are getting hungry during the day. Another thing we talked about was making sure they ate breakfast, because it is one of the most important meals of the entire day. I am hoping tomorrow is just as good of a day! It has been a fun time so far, so I would like to continue the enjoyment.
Lesson I learned today: Kids are entertained by the simplest things, and enjoy playing game (even if the game has them running around, technically working out).
