Goal 1 - Objective 1 To Give Volunteers Quick and Easy Ideas for How to Motivate Children with Sports and Fitness

Goal 1 – Objective 1

1.

Make it interactive:

 Homemade Weights



Cement is 60 cents a kilogram



Use recycled bottles

 Picture series for “How to Workout”



Most kids have no idea how to workout. Creating a picture-series, accompanied with descriptions, is a sustainable way to leave the kids educated on proper workout techniques.

 Using My Plate

Goal 1 – Objective 1

Make it Unique:

Obstacle Courses -

 Kids are engaging in fitness, but it’s

more upbeat, fun, and not traditional “working out.”

Obstacle Course

 Station 1 – “Jump Training” obstacle course -10

min –Location: ON THE BASKETBALL COURT

 Hoola Hoops line up, 1-2-1-2-1-2  Cone Run – Line the cones up, the children run and weave

around the cone.

 A basketball is set up on the last cone and the kids have to

dribble it 5 times, then set it on a bucket by the final stage.

 Rope is laid on the ground, and the kids have to crawl like a

bear on their hands and feet the length of the rope.

Goal 1 – Objective 1

Make it Cost Effective –

 Tournaments –

 Football  Table Tennis

 The Push-Up Sequence

 Competition for youth (generally boys)

 How many different types of push-ups can they do 5

repetitions.

Goals and Objectives

Goal 1 - Objective 2 To Inform Volunteers How They Can Chose the Right Sports for Kids

Goal 1 – Objective 2

• You must first understand the fitness

interests of the youth. Choosing a the wrong sport for a certain level will ensure the youth will lose interest, or will complain the entire time, or won’t participate.

Goal 1 – Objective 2

There are 3 activity levels with youth:

The Non-Athlete The Casual Athlete The Athlete

The Non-Athlete

• This child may lack athletic ability, interest in physical

activity, or both.

• Minimally competitive, group activities; such as:

Obstacle Courses (easier version) Duck, Duck, Goose Red Light, Green Light with animals Animal Crawl

• Crab, Bear, Frog, ect.

The Casual Athlete

• This child is interested in being active but isn't a star player

and is at risk of getting discouraged in a competitive athletic environment.

• Tournaments – with their friends of similar ability, or with

The Athlete types.

• Homemade Weights
• Weight Training Program with Homemade Weights

The Athlete

• This child has athletic ability, is committed to a sport or activity,

and likely to ramp up practice time and intensity of competition.

• Beachbody Aerobic Videos
• Bring your laptop to work.
• Depending on the gender, age, and desire of the youth.
• Cardio workouts from:
• P90x; INSANITY; Turbo Jam; Brazilian Butt Lift; ect.
• Tournaments
• Soccer, Table Tennis, Volleyball
• Have youth bring like-minded friends.

Workout With Colleagues

• 1. Beach Body programs are perfect for

this.

• 2. Many colleagues have never done

aerobics, so start simple.

• 3. I suggest the Slim in 6 program.
• 4. Great for relationship building.

Goal 2: To Help Volunteers Promote Healthy Nutritional Habits amongst Youth

Goals and Objectives

Goal 2 - Objective 1: To Provide Volunteers with Basic Information on How They Can Teach Nutrition to Youth

Goal 2 – Objective 1

 Kids need to know which foods they must eat to be

healthy and/or lose weight.

 The majority kids don't need to be on special diets, but

many kids can do something to eat healthier:

 A good teaching device for young children are:  Go, Slow, and Whoa foods.

Goal 2 – Objective 1

 A good teaching tool is from the USDA on how they’ve

• rganized food into different categories.

 My Plate (no longer The Food Pyramid) organizes

them as such:

 fruit  vegetables  grains  protein (meat, beans, fish, and nuts)  milk and dairy products

My Plate

My Plate Activity

1.

Brief overview of My Plate and each of the groups; how many servings per day; and examples of foods from each group.

2.

Game 1 – Create your own My Plate

 Kids are separated into groups  They search through magazines and cut out

images of food

 They glue/tape these images to their My Plate  Then they present their finished product to

the group

Goal 2 – Objective 1

 The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

suggests kids think about groups of foods as:

• 1. Go foods
• 2. Slow foods
• 3. Whoa foods

GO FOODS

 GO foods are the healthiest of them all.  These are foods are a GO to eat almost anytime.

Examples include:

1.

Lean chicken and fish

2.

Fresh veggies

3.

Fresh fruits

4.

Whole wheat grains

5.

WATER!

SLOW FOODS

 SLOW foods are considered the “sometimes” foods.  They aren't off-limits, yet they shouldn't be eaten every

• day. Avoid them if you can, or at most, eat them SLOWLY,
• r just a couple times a week.

Examples include:

1.

Fruit juices

2.

White bread

3.

Fatty red meat

4.

Sunflower seeds

5.

Cheeses

WHOA FOODS

 These foods should make you say— Whoa! Should I eat that?  Whoa foods are the least healthy and the most likely to cause

weight problems, especially if eaten all the time.

 That's why Whoa foods must be a never or rarely eaten food.

Examples include:

1.

French fries and soda

2.

Duners and wafers

3.

Banitza and candy

4.

Pizza and those Clever “meat” tubes

5.

JUST to name a few.

Anorexia and Bulimia, if not deadly, can cause substantial

• harm. The problem is that the

victim is focused on weight loss to the detriment of everything

• else. The pair of disorders can

cause the following:

Anorexia and Bulimia Symptoms

Rupture of

esophagus (bulimia)

Irregular heart rates Kidney damage Loss of teeth Heart damage Growth of body hair

(anorexia)

Dizziness, fainting Dehydration Osteoporosis Electrolyte

imbalance

If you think one of your students/youth is suffering from

• ne of these disorders, seek

medical assistance. Although it may be considered “taboo” or “foreign” to seek psychiatric help in Bulgaria, it is available and worth the risk of a label.

Goals and Objectives

Objective 3: To Encourage Volunteers to Promote Anti-Smoking Campaigns, Provide Activities and Events to Promote “NO SMOKING”.

Potential Ideas

 May 31st-World No Tobacco Day  Role modeling- Do you smoke? If so, is it with your

students and or youth you are involved with?

 Scare tactics with “smoked out” lung images  Start young……teenagers are less than likely to listen

and respect you on this subject!

Goals and Objectives

Goal 3 - To Provide a Forum for All Attendees to Share and Exchange Ideas on Productive, Positive, and Successful Activities, Events, Projects, and Work on Healthy Life skills.

Goal 3

At this time, we ask for only SUCCESSFUL and utilized projects, events, activities, and work on Healthy Life Skills to be shared. If you have new ideas or future planned activities, events, and projects, PLEASE share on the flipchart labeled “HEALTHY LIFESKILLS”.

To Be Continued…At Site!

 WHO is our target market? Any children you work with,

interested or not, and colleagues. We are role models!

 WHAT can you do at site? Use low income, minimal

material fitness ideas and nutritional information.

 WHEN is the best time to encourage fitness and nutrition?

Everyday and NOW!

 WHERE and HOW can these ideas be applied?

Anywhere….use your imagination.

 WHY should we encourage fitness and nutrition?

Childhood obesity is at a dangerous rate and it’s increasing. Health related diseases and illnesses are on the rise in youth.
