Even with the COVID-19 virus keeping TGS kids away from campus, fitness and fun are continuing in physical education. The Gregory School P.E. teachers have been incorporating many creative workouts, games, and challenges into online resources that students can use at home.
Students have been working on strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness through core workouts, yoga, and running. On top of that, the students have had fun participating in fitness bingo, a live Zoom workout, juggling, creating one-song workouts, and customizing their own fitness routines.
Students have been tracking their activities and meeting online with their classmates. While online P.E. may not have the same thrill as a perfect shot against your friends in El Mirador gym, it has been amazing to see our students adapt and step up to the challenge of being in charge of their own fitness.
It is our hope that the silver lining to this situation will be that our students have even more skills in their repertoire to maintain lifelong fitness.
