Good Afternoon people!
Have you ever wanted to improve your body coordination?
I, Julia Rosero, along with my group mates, Shareena Gadiane, Clariss Pioquinto, Keanne Morales and Juan Miguel Bagalacsa, will try and help you with that.
My group mates and I are really bad with our body coordination and so we created a few exercises to help us, and maybe you too, improve.
Following FITT principle, (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type), we created a Fitness plan to help us attain our goal.
First, you can play Badminton thrice a week. First, on Wednesday and then on Friday and then on Sunday. All during 3-4pm, moderately hard, but not too hard, to ensure good results. Badminton is a sport which requires heavy body coordination. It requires you to focus and to use your hands and feet and eyes to locate the shuttlecock and prevent it from touching the ground. With enough practice, we can improve our body coordination in no time.
Second, we will be Swimming. I know, a swimming pool isn’t always accessible to everyone but it’s okay, this is just one of our proposed exercises for this fitness plan. You should do it twice a week. We did ours on Monday and Wednesday, from 5-6 so the water is a bit cooler. Swim a few laps moderately then slow down in your last few laps to relax your muscles a bit. Swimming requires you to use your hands and feet together so that you can swim fast, this is a perfect sport to try and improve body coordination and this will help a lot.
Third, Soccer. This sport requires eye and feet coordination to score so it will definitely help. Although, we only do this exercise once a week, with extreme difficulty and from 2-3pm because a little bit of sunlight is good for you. This will also help you to become flexible and faster on your feet.
Fourth is Volleyball. Volleyball is quite a famous sport and you might know how to play it. It requires hand, eye and feet coordination, like most sports so this will also help a lot. We did this sport 4 times a week, consecutively, from Tuesday to Friday, from 1-2pm moderately. Volleyball usually involves players having to dive for the ball or to locate the ball and get it over the net to the opponent, so it will be a challenging yet rewarding exercise to do.
Fifth is Ruler Drop. It’s not really that hard so you can do it anywhere you want. If you do not know what ruler drop is, it is basically where someone holds a ruler above your hand and when they drop it you have to catch it fast. Since that is pretty simple we did this every other day. We started on Monday, and then Wednesday, next was Friday and last was Sunday, 8 am in the morning to get your reflexes awake early. You can repeat this for how many times you may want but we repeated this three times each morning. It will improve your hand-eye coordination.
Half-Stick Flip is Sixth. This is quite uncommon, we think as we were surprised as well when we first learned about this. But this exercise is quite hard. This requires three sticks, you holding two sticks and then another one on top of those you are holding. After you are in that position where you are holding two sticks and balancing a stick on top of those, you will try and flip it consistently. As you can see it may be quite hard, we suggest you try to do it consistently 3 or 4 times, everyday to really enhance your coordination.
Lastly is Dancing. I know most of you find dancing hard but it will become easy with practice. Just choose a choreography that you want to learn and then study it thoroughly. After that start to try and recreate it and then practice it so that you can master it. We suggest to do this twice a week. From 1-3pm so that you can really master it. This will further improve your whole body coordination.
That was our whole Fitness Plan and I hope you liked it and try it and see if it works for yourself!
