Coach Peabody, counting

Run to a marker, touch the floor, and run back.

Shuttle run

Go somewhere · ages 6 to 14 · Counted in reps · 🤫 Quiet

How to do it

  1. Slow down before the marker so you can turn.
  2. Touch the floor with one hand.
  3. Push off hard to go back.
  • A cone, or a shoe for a marker
  • Somewhere you can run a few steps and turn round.

Watch out for this

Bend your knees and drop your hips. Your legs reach, not your spine.
Bending from the back to reach the floor.

Make it fit you

The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.

Easier

  • March
  • Walk fast instead of running.

Harder

  • Put the marker further away, and do more trips.

Can't jump? Walk it quickly instead.
