Teaching Tips & Activity Context:
In "The Body Coach TV by Joe Wicks: My Daily Hip Mobility Routine," Joe Wicks leads a 10-minute workout focusing on hip mobility. Children are encouraged to stretch, wiggle, and exercise in a fun and engaging way. This video is perfect for all elementary grade levels and can be used as a brain break, warm-up activity, or as part of a physical education lesson. The flexibility of this video makes it suitable for both virtual and in-person learning environments.
Skills Focus:
Hip mobility
Flexibility
Coordination
Instructional Suggestions:
To ensure all students can participate, encourage them to listen to their bodies and only stretch as far as comfortable for them. Provide modifications for students who may need a seated version of the stretches, or who need to perform the movements at a slower pace. Use positive reinforcement to motivate students to engage in the stretches and follow Joe Wicks' cues.
Extension Ideas (optional):
After the video, engage students in a discussion about the importance of stretching and taking care of their bodies. Have students create their own hip mobility routine incorporating some of the exercises they learned from Joe Wicks. Integrate this activity into a health lesson to discuss the benefits of daily movement and stretching.
