KEEPING ACTIVE DURING LOCKDOWN #2


Hi Owai Families!

Here are more ideas from Sport Auckland for you to try with your family. Have fun and stay active.


CHALLENGE YOURSELF
GET CREATIVE
GET PHYSICAL
Do the limbo!

Challenge your family to a limbo competition. 


Question:
Who got the lowest in your whanau?

What do you need to do to get lower?
Walk like an animal:

Pretend to be your favourite animal and walk around the house/neighbourhood.

Question:
Can you do the entire alphabet?

What was the easiest animal to be?
Play Pokemon Go:

Hunt pokemon with the augmented reality game  within your community. Download the app here and you’re away. It’s a great way for the family to get your and explore your neighbourhood.

Tip: Make sure you take your hand sanitiser to keep your hands clean!
Steady Heads:    

Create an easy obstacle course within your home, now try and balance different things on your head and complete the course. 

E.G, a cushion, a shoe, a piece of paper, a pot, a bottle of water?

Create a Hallway Laser field:

Use toilet paper and cellotape to create a maze for yourself and family to crawl through. 

Click here for an example.

Question:
How fast can you go through your course?

Can you do the course with one eye or both eyes closed?
Dice roll fun fitness:

Using a dice (or other way of having 1-6 random numbers) try and get to a total of 20 points as fast as you can. 
1= 15 star jumps
2= 5 burpees
3= 10 sit ups
4= Run to the letterbox and back
5= 15 squats
6= Spin around 10 times on the spot
Tip: Challenge someone in your house or a friend online!

Tip: adjust the level for the age of kids eg: less / more than 20 points, more/less reps.

Question: What activity could you add to make it even more fun?

ARE YOU NETBALL READY? SWiSH Netball Modules

Are you going to play netball this year? 
Courtney Rowson and Leonie Leaver are the founders of SWiSH Netball.
They  have developed modules during the Covid 19 Restrictions for netballers to work through, to ensure they are keeping fit, motivated, accountable and focusing on their fundamentals, so they are ready to go once netball resumes. 
In each module they focus on fundamentals, shooting, fitness and mindset. Netballers can work on each module at their own pace and how it best suits their schedules. 
Courtney and Leonie have designed the modules to be done at home, with equipment that can be found around the house.
They are starting off with a special introductory offer of only $21.90 incl GST. This provides full access to the modules for the rest of 2020.
