Mr. George's APE Program

Check out this cool YouTube workout.  Only do what you can as tolerated.  Make sure you are drinking water throughout the day even on days you don't exercise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8jI4RnHHf0

Good morning everyone.  I just wanted to pass along some cool information about a free fitness app that you can download for iphone and/or ipad.  I personally like this one. It is easy to follow and it allows you to choose which exercises you want to modify. Below are some tutorials on how to use the app. Intro video 1:            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMuzt_MVQOo Intro video 2:            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vtzc5rSDcTM Intro video 3:           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV08AZkr9hg

Here's an inspirational quote to kick start off week 2.

Try this Yoga pose.  Make sure to control your breathing and maintain balance.  If you need support you can use a chair or stay in a seated position. 

This is a video by Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson who is one of the NBA's  best 3 point shooters. In this video you can practice your shooting form at home.  Also refer back to my March 18th post regarding B.E.E.F. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2nos0uhtW4 Modification tip:  If you don't have a basketball at home you can use a tennis ball, wiffleball or crumble up a piece of paper.

Most of you know this exercise as bear walk or bear crawl.  This exercise will help you develop upper body strength. In addition this is a good way to get stronger so you can do push-ups.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJFVRVuAyNo&feature=youtu.be Even though we are remaining indoors for most of the day, it is important to exercise and move daily.  I am posting an activity that you can do with a family member in very small group. Try to get outside for about 30-60 minutes on days that it doesn't rain or snow.  This activity is called Bricks and Feathers.  It teaches you how to run/jog and different paces.  Enjoy.  Feel free to comment. *Modification Tip: If you are unable to run or jog then you may walk/speed-walk at a moderate pace.

Modification tip: Use a pillow, towel or blanket to put underneath your knees for support.

Tai Chi Video by Jake Mace. Over the weekend I want you to try this Tai Chi video that focuses on balance, flexibility  and breathing.  You can do this inside or outside. Enjoy! CLICK BELOW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHBR5MZmEsY&t=14s

I encourage all of my students to remain positive and creative.  I will be posting more activities, exercises and even  videos throughout the remote learning process.  Thank you.  Remote Activity: - Crumble  up a piece of paper and  play catch with a family member.  Practice your overhand and underhand throws.  Make sure you  step in opposition and throw with your dominant hand. - You can also  use the same piece of paper and  find an empty paper basket and practice your basketball shot.  Make sure to remember the B.E.E.F. teaching tip. B- Bend the knees E- Elbows up E- Eyes on Rim F- Follow through/Flick Wrist

Good morning my students of  PS 23, PS 85,  CS 211 and IS 181.  During these circumstances Mr.  George will be using Google Blogger to post activity assignments for my  APE students. For this week I will be posting Fitdeck exercise cards that you can do at home. The first card is a  sample exercise of how to read  a fitdeck card properly.
