TEACHING TIPS * Discuss and demonstrate correct form for each exercise.
* Don't try to do the whole thing at once. Start small, with just a few of the exercises, and gradually build up to doing them all.
* If you're not in a situation in which children can do situps and pushups, substitute another activity:
Example: Touch elbow to opposite knee. Thrust alternate arms upward.
