A Brand X Method™ Kids Workout

WARM-UP:
Chalk Line w/mirroring – Draw a 5-meter chalk line for each child. The first child chooses how to move along the line (skip, run, side shuffle, bear crawl, etc.). Everyone else then mirrors that movement. Repeat for each child to lead and others to mirror.

FOCUS:
Box squat – demonstrate, discuss and practice with green chalk on box—chalk transfers only if calves stay against the box

GET READY:
1:00 – piriformis stretch
1:00 – child’s pose

CONDITIONING:
AMGMAP in 8:00-10:00
10-meter hillbilly prowler push up and back
10 box squats
10 step-back lunges in place
*divide area for prowlers/squats and lunges for traffic control

GAME:
Reindeer Games – Using Max Stack** for hurdle jumps, kids throw snowball to a target immediately after jumping.

** Use soft but sturdy items such as small crash mats or martial arts pads to create stacks for kids to split hurdle. Gradually add to the stack to allow each child to attempt his or her own max running hurdle.
