Master the Minute / Alphabet Challenge

Master the Minute - extra challenges

Everything you need for the Master the Minute Challenge is still below but this week I also have an Alphabet Challenge. You can do the Alphabet Challenge by itself or you can use the ideas as part of the Master the Minute Challenge.

The challenge works by using the letters of your name to choose your exercises. You could spell your first name, surname, or even include your middle names for an extra challenge.

Here is a small sample of the letters/exercises. Click on the picture to download the full alphabet.

If the exercise has a * beside it, it is explained below.

Decide how long you will do each exercise for - 30 seconds, 60 seconds? You could make this a family/friends activity by spelling everyone's names!

Remember, if you are stretching and your muscles hurt, you're stretching too far!

MASTER THE MINUTE

Welcome to your Master the Minute Active Challenge!

First things first - this challenge actually consists of 20 x 1 minute challenges, so you won't want to do them all in one day!

To get started, click the picture to get your Result Tracking Page. If you can't print it, you could design your own, or just keep a note of your results on a piece of paper.

This challenge will be even more fun if you get other people involved. If you're in contact with any friends, get them to join in and compare your results, or why not try the challenge with your family?

Here are a couple of examples of the challenges. If you don't have the materials needed (I definitely don't have any balloons!) check out the "equipment" circle - they always suggest something you can use instead!
