A Vegetable State
The A Team has been training together for a few weeks and each week I offer a Challenge which includes a nutritional goal and a physical goal. This week, I am going to offer the Challenge to every employee in our school system.
Nutritional Goal-It seems like such a simple thing "eat your veggies" but during the winter we sometimes fail to take care of our nutritional needs in the area of veggies. So, this week, starting Monday-February 17, the challenge is to return to a vegetable state-so to speak. I'm calling on all cooks out there to help us out. If you have a good recipe for something including veggies, sans cheesy fries, please share and I will be sure to include your recipe in our blog.
Physical Goal-5 minutes of Common Core and I'm not talking about curriculum here. Your Common Core workout includes the following:
- 1 minute=High knees (marching or jogging in place)
- 1 minute=Sit-ups (knees bent, feet flat, start with arms fully extended overhead on floor and "throw" hands forward for momentum to touch floor outside your feet at midpoint of sit-up then back down to floor
- 1 minute=Plank position, forearms on floor, back straight, and on your toes.
- 1 minute=Side plank (right side)
- 1 minute=Side plank (left side)
If you complete the Challenge (nutritional and physical goal) your name goes in to our weekly selection process.
See this link for an example of the selection process:
Congrats to SCES for winning the trophy last week.
