mobile fitness app (e.g. Map My
Run, Endomondo). This is the best
option. This will automatically track
route and activity time.

Next, students will be instructed

about how to input their actual mile
route and time, both using a mobile
GPS app, and manual input.
Lastly, students must know how to
find the link to their race results so
that the link can be emailed to the
instructor so results can be
recorded. All results must be
accompanied by a form signed by a
parent/guardian saying that results
are authentic and accurate.

I am looking for students to start by
lying on their backs, with their knees
bent upward toward the ceiling, with
their feet flat on the floor. Arms
should be crossed across the chest,
with one hand on each shoulder.
When the test begins, students
should use their abdominals to
elevate their upper body, or sit up,
and their elbows should touch their
knees. Once the elbows touch the
knees, students may lower their
upper bodies back down to the floor.
They should use their abdominals to
lower themselves in a controlled
manner, not just fall back to the
floor. Students should complete this
motion as many times as they can
within a one minute period.
