  Equipment: ump ropes, hula hoops, other equipment as needed as the teacher adds options to the activity.
  Description:
  + Divide class into 2 groups. One group of students will start with jump ropes and on the teacher’s signal, will begin jumping rope. While they are doing that, the other group of students will perform crunches.
  + Students will do as many as possible for 1 minute and then on the stop signal, they will switch. The jump rope students will do crunches and the students doing crunches will jump rope. After the second minute, the activity continues but the exercise is switched to push-ups, then squats, followed by burpees, and finally planks.
  + You can modify the 5 exercises that go along with the jump ropes any way you want according to your age group. Encourage the students with high energy and challenge them to see if they can stick with it for the entire 10 minutes. You can also use heart rate monitor watches and check pulse throughout or at the end of the 10 minutes. Students can take their pulse with their fingers if you don’t have the watches.
