The CYCLE of Fitness
Funded Aug 14, 2019
These mini cycles are amazing. My students were so excited when they walked into class and saw them set up. They couldn't wait to get started. We have started our fitness and healthy lifestyle unit in PE. We use these cycles in several different ways. We use these for our warm up before class. We also use them as a Tabata workout. The kids have so much fun! They barely realize they are actually exercising. I have been able to use these with all my students from kindergarten to fifth grade.
In addition to using these for exercise, these mini cycles are also used for the students who need to move and be active in order to focus in their core classes. Students are allowed to earn a mini cycle to use under their desk while doing classwork. This helps with students who struggle with behavior or need extra resources. Overall, we love the cycles and are so thankful for your contribution.”
With gratitude,
Coach Wilson
This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 6 other donors.

The use of these mini cycles will be used on a daily basis. My students will have the pleasure of using these as a warm-up option at the beginning of each class. These will also be used as an alternative physical activity for students who may not be feeling 100% that day, or if they have another limiting factor that prevents them from running. Sometimes I have a few special needs students who get to join my PE class with the general population. These cycles will allow them the opportunity to engage in physical activity whenever they are struggling with the original activity, or if their IEP indicates other accommodations are necessary. By donating to my project, you will be providing my students a possible once in a lifetime opportunity to use innovative equipment they normally would not get a chance to use. This equipment will be just another reason for the students to be excited about PE class and overall physical activity.
