Only 3 more days!

Things are really starting to wind down.  Or course, I mean that theoretically, considering so many people are extremely busy this time of year.  Today was another exciting time with my program.  The first thing I had the kids do today, was to run.  They each got a turn to run anywhere around the gym for 1 minute each.  They really enjoy being able to go wherever they want to in the gym.  After running we always do stretching, as I usually state on my blog.  It's really not their favorite part, but I want them to know the importance of stretching.  After stretching we played the circle game.  I believe that they really enjoy the game, because it is a challenge.  I enjoy it, because it is fun to see them enjoying themselves.  I allowed everyone a turn to be it, that way no one feels left out or something like that.  I always see the people going for certain people right away, as if they are the best ones to get out first.  The fitness training was next.  They really didn't like the mention of the word fitness training, but they all did it very nicely.  We did a sort of shuttle run, pull-ups, and sit-ups again.  They all really seemed to improve in some areas and maintain in others.  We then played yet another game.  The game we played was a test of balance.  They all had to do the wheel barrow, and then they had to walk across the beam.  They need some balance, trust me.  I brought a snack again, this time it was cheeries.  I am glad that they all really enjoyed those!  Tomorrow they get watermelon, they are all really looking excited for it.

Lesson I learned today: Kids are some of the busiest people in the world, and yet they have more energy than most adutls.  It's just not fair.
