EXERCISE WARM-UP
Aim: This is a quick warm-up to raise awareness among the group of the benefits of different forms of exercise.
You will need:
- Sets of exercise cards
How to do it: Prepare for the session by copying the exercise cards, cutting them up and placing them in envelopes.
Split the young people into groups of three or four and hand an envelope with the cards in to each. Explain that the task for each group is to discuss the different forms of exercise on the cards and place them in an agreed order, with the one they think uses the most calories in half an hour at the top and the one that uses the least at the bottom. Allow about 10 minutes for this, then discuss the groups' conclusions, comparing and contrasting them with the facts.
