Thermopylae Games #4 - Arbour Lake School - Final Games Event of the 2016-2017 Fitness Year

Arbour Lake School, home of the Coyotes, will be hosting the final Thermopylae lead up event Next Thursday May 11^th.  They would love as many people to come out as possible. 

At the event there will be Thermopylae shirts for sale for $12. Coach Maher has a selection of sizes and they will be bringing those along, please tell your athletes.

They will run the event slightly different from those previous in the respect that they have a bookmark in their clock so that everyone has a break. 

It goes 2min partner 1, 3 min rest, 2 min partner 2, 3 min rest (rotate to next station) 2 min partner 1, 3 min rest, 2 min partner 2, 3 min rest etc… 

They did this last year and found that the athletes had enough time to get to their next stations but weren’t pushing themselves over the edge. It is run time and we will explain on the day if this didn’t make sense. 

We would like to start as close to 4 pm as possible but no later than 4.30, we will wait for all schools to have representatives and there will be two challenge stations at the end (if Someone is late).

Our 5 exercises will be:

Star Jumps- Hands start  between knees, feet together. Jump out into a star shape with both feet off the ground and elbows above ears, then land back in starting position.

Tricep Dips- On benches, elbows at 90* legs straight

Double leg raises- lying on ground, hands under bum. Legs must go from ground to 90* while remaining straight

Plank Jacks- Staring feet together. Feet go out wider than shoulders then back together for 1 count

Kangaroo Jumps- Start in Squat position, hands behind head. Jump forward to full bend (90*) for 1 count and then jump backwards to starting position for 2^nd count
