Daily exercise challenge
Our HPE staff have challenged students to complete a variety of exercise challenges during the week to keep their bodies moving.
Exercise is not only beneficial to your physical health, but also your mental and emotional health, and overall wellbeing.
1. 10 000 steps
Mr Setterfield will be keeping an eye on his step count to try and reach 10 000 steps. Students, can you rise to the challenge?
Set up your fitbit, vivofit or smartwatch and try to get 10000 steps in. Send a photo of your data to your HPE teacher at the end of the day – they would love to hear how you went!
2. Name workout
Miss Litherland is challenging students to complete the ‘name workout’! Use the table below to spell your name in full, then complete the corresponding exercises. Good luck!
| A – 10 burpees | N – 20 burpees |
| B – 1 min plank | O – 15 push-ups |

3. ‘Bring Sally Up’ challenge
Use the song ‘Flower’ by Moby for this one.
Every time he says “Bring Sally up” indicates the up portion of a movement. Every time he says, “Bring Sally down” indicates the down portion of a movement. You may pick any fitness movement you like. Some suggestions:
- Squat
- Press (plate, bar, backpack, kettlebell, etc.)
- Push up
- Burpee
- Pull up
Watch an example HERE.
