I am requesting equipment that can be used in various ways so I can get the most use out of it. One fun example though is, The Obstacle Course —The students begin on a bosu ball where they will need to engage many muscles to keep their balance followed by jumping to the hula hoops to hop or jump in different patterns focusing on their motor planning skills and concentration—following up on a plyometric step which will require strength and balance. All of these skills will help improve self-esteem when they conquer challenges and give students an opportunity to improve their physical fitness. The equipment donated gives my students access to having fun while working on their health. And the fun they have makes it far more likely to become a habit for them to continue long after I'm out of the picture as their instructor.
