AT&T APCA Dragons 2016 Home Work #1

Hello Team,

Here's your chance to earn more points by doing some homework. (up to 2 points)

Be sure to warm up before exercising.

Challenge yourself!  ;-)

HOMEWORK

We'll have 2 part home work for this week since you have 2 weeks to do it.  Each part will be one point each.

Part 1: Cardio

Can you run/jog for 3 minutes?

Bronze: 4 mph

Silver: 5 mph

Gold: 6 mph

Platinum: 7 mph

Anything equivalent is also fine.

Part 2: General Fitness

You do not have to do all at one time but recommended.

Levels are there to motivate you. You know your body the best. Pick the one that will challenge your body.

Let’s do…Push-Up, Sit-Up, Squat, and Jumping Jacks (Ex: Bronze Level will be 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 80 total)

Bronze Level: 20 each

Silver Level: 30 each

Gold Level: 40 each

Platinum Level: 50 each

You can substitute the above exercises with set of Burpees then you do not have to do 4 separate exercises. (Ex: Bronze Level will be 20 Burpees)  Anything equivalent is also fine.

After you complete one of the levels then you can either send me an email, post to our blog at http://apcadragons.blogspot.com/ or post to APCA Dragons Facebook by 7/8 Friday 6pm PT.

If you are receiving this email but should not or do not want to continue receiving then let me know.

Thank you.
