Choose your activities wisely. Make sure you are doing an activity that is similar to your goal that will help you improve. For example, if your goal is to improve on the mile run, set up a running course around your backyard or neighborhood that you can run and make the distance longer each day. Even just repeating the same activity for a few weeks will help you get better. The Daily Fitness Challenge for today is: Fortnight Fitness!

March 31, 2020:
Before setting a goal it is important to establish a baseline score. For example, if I choose push-ups as one of my goals, it would be best to see how many I can get in one minute before I start working on that goal. Lets say I score 15 push-ups in my test. My new goal maybe would be to get 20 when I test again in four weeks. Check out the P.E. at Home Videos tab on the left for some great activities to improve your fitness! Also, the Daily Fitness Challenge for today is: It's Yoga Time!
March 30, 2020:
For the next few weeks we are going to set fitness goals.
