Time management
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can use time management skills effectively to deliver an organised circuit fitness session.
Key learning points
- Move: using the correct technique to demonstrate fitness based exercises to ensure maximum progress.
- Think: strategically planning the timing of a fitness circuit will increase the opportunity for maximal involvement.
- Feel: organising the timing of the session will provide clarity and can relieve stress when leading.
- Connect: organised leaders are able to prioritise time to interact with team members to address their needs.
Keywords
Punctual - arrives or does things at the time they planned
Prioritise - deciding which tasks are most important to do and completing them first
Organised - a leader who plans efficiently, manages equipment, time and other people so everything runs without any issues
Common misconception
Pupils think punctuality is merely about turning up to lessons on time.
Punctuality is linked to arrival time, but is also about completing tasks on time and being respectful for the time of others. This is achieved by being organised, fulfilling the task and being dependable.
Teacher tip
The lesson is designed around delivery of a fitness circuit. However, depending on the facilities, this can be easily adapted to a small gym area, for exercise to music activities or yoga/pilates in a dance studio.
Equipment
cones 30+, fitness circuit cards (see additional materials), mats, benches / box, weighted ball / kettlebell
