- The CATCH morning exercise activities will be aimed at increasing our moderate to vigorous physical activity and promoting gross motor development including locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills. Brad Averill, Nebraska Extension Educator, will lead activities to promote adults to be more motivated to walk, run, jump, dance, and move their whole bodies while playing games and having fun. These activities and games will be a great way for you to start your morning and will teach you some games that will increase the moderate to vigorous activity of the children in your classrooms and programs.
- Ease yourself into the day with Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese form of exercise using slow rhythmic movements – easy and fun for beginners. Improve balance, strength and flexibility to prevent falls and reduce stress. Perfect for non-fitness enthusiasts; anyone can do low-impact Tai Chi. Jamie Goffena, Nebraska Extension Educator, teaches ways to live healthier with improved nutrition and fitness activities.
