Letter to Students and Parents

Dear Students and Guardians,

I hope you all are well and staying safe. I am posting a few things that you all can work on while we are out. It is very important to remain physically active. Please try to find time to get outside when the weather is nice and move around. When stuck indoors look at exercises posted below to do at home. Yoga is another great alternative when you are crunched for space. You can follow all of these examples and log what you have done each day on the sheet provided. This should take care of you physically and help you to remain physically fit and healthy while we are out.

The next part is My Fitness Pal. This is the final part to our chapter on food and diet. You may download the app just search for My Fitness Pal (It has the Under Armor Logo on the App) or go to myfitnesspal.com. There is an additional tutorial on how to use this resource below. Remember the key is using correct measurements and recording everything that you eat or drink. Remember to use our examples from in class to recognize how much a cup is or how much a half cup is (this is so you do not have to measure everything every time). If using the app I suggest using the scanner option which allows you to scan the bar code of the food item just like you are at the grocery store and it will input all the data. The resource will show you this along with all other features.  My Fitness Pal will keep track of all of your information. You can use this information to fill in your food log and bring back to class when we return.

Stay Safe and Stay Active!

Sincerely,

Coach Mitchell
