While we’d love to be together physically this year for the Walk-a-Jog-a-Thon, we can still have fun, support our school, and get a little faster and stronger through the CTK Champion Challenge. The objective of this challenge is for each student to work toward their self-determined fitness goal. At the beginning of September, you will choose your favorite fitness challenge (examples below). Make sure to set a goal that truly challenges you (not something you can already do easily). During the month, you will work toward getting stronger, faster or completing more reps of your personal challenge. When your student completes the challenge, you will print out this certificate and fill in their name and goal achieved!
(Certificate is created to print landscape, so if possible, please select landscape rather than portrait.)
We would suggest that each student find a starting point by testing your current ability level. For example, if you choose burpees as your challenge, you might set a timer for five minutes, and see how many burpees you can complete in that time. If a student completes 40 burpees in five minutes during their test round, a realistic goal for the CTK Champion Challenge might be to complete 55 burpees in five minutes.
On September 30th, the day of our CTK Champion Challenge, we will cheer each other on (virtually) as each of you complete your final challenge. We can’t wait to see the creative goals you come up with, and the amazing progress you will make in your physical fitness!
As with any workout, fitness challenge or jog-a-thon, it is very important to warm up properly so our body is ready for the challenge. Here we have provided a warmup video the kids can follow along as they practice toward their goal and the day of the actual challenge.
