Well done to all the boys and girls who participated in the 10@10 this morning.
Primary schools all over the country got up and moving this morning as part of a country wide initiative called 10@10. The 10@10 is an Operation Transformation initiative to get children to do 10 minutes of exercise at 10 am during the RTÉ One series and to continue the mini-workout into the future.
The popular lifestyle programme is celebrating its tenth year making this morning’s workout, that is happening in primary schools nationwide, all the more special.
The boys and girls in our school were divided into mixed aged groups with children from each class. The children who are on the Active Schools Committee were the leaders of each group. They had to guide the younger children and ensure that their team stayed together and kept moving!!!
We set up six stations with a leader at each station explaining what to do. To begin with we did a short warm up and when the whistle blew, we got started. We spent 1 and 1/2 minutes at each station. Once the whistle blew we moved again! We even had music to add to the fun!
Station 1: Running, side steps, high knees and heel kicks!
Station 2: Hula hooping!
Station 3: Squats, squat jumps, squat punches!
Station 4: Skipping!
Station 5: Jumping jacks, scissor jumps and hip jumps!
Station 6: Exercises with Jim and Keith!
