You’ve seen your bags heaved into the plane at the airport.
Now we have your kids slugging luggage for fitness!
Set-Up
Divide the class into two teams. Teams can be named
after airlines, such as Delta and United. The start position
is the 3.2.1.Go line and the turnaround point is the 50m mark.
Position the baggage for each team behind the start line, and
position a prowler for each team on the start line. Teams line up behind
the start line.
Equipment
• 2 prowler sleds
“Baggage”
• 2 25-lb. bumper plates
• 2 15-lb. bumper plates
• 2 10-lb. bumper plates
• 2 12-lb. medicine balls
• 2 of the lightest sandbags
Rules of Play
On 3-2-1 … go! teams form circles and begin passing the
“baggage” taken from the start position around as fast as
possible. Encourage kids to move fast and be carefree like
real baggage handlers (beasts).
All baggage must cycle five times around the circle, and
it’s OK for items to be dropped. Each team member must handle
each piece of equipment on its way around the circle.
Once the five passing cycles have been
completed, all items must be transported by the team to the
turnaround point in any manner and any amount. Load some of it
on the prowler, some can be hand carried. It has to be a weight that
the prowler can still be pushed. More than one person can help push.
More than one trip can be made. All equipment must end up behind
the 50m mark. As soon as that happens it will be transported back
in the same manner. The first team to have all baggage back to the
3.2.1.Go line along with the prowler wins!
Warm Up
"The Wave"
Kids will line up in a straight line with the first kid doing a squat, then the second kid right after and the third right after so on and so forth. Like the wave in a football stadium!
This is done continuously for squats, burpees and jumping jacks.
After every kid does 1 of each then round 2 has each kid doing 2 of each movement at a time, 3 of each for round 3 and so on.
The warmup lasts for 7 minutes.
