Physical Challenges Post #1
Through out this lockdown I am going to routinely share some physical home challenges that everyone can complete. They will involve little / no props or equipment other than things that can easily be found around the house. Get involved and I look forward to hearing how you all do!
#1 The Shoe
What You Will Need
A shoe
Challenge
Balance a shoe in the air on the bottom of your foot
Attempt to flip your body 360 degrees all the way around without the shoe falling off your foot
To make this harder try a lighter shoe as these will make it harder to balance while you are turning.
#2 Equilibrium
What You Will Need
A long object e.g. cricket bat, stick, broom, mop etc.
Challenge
Balance the item in the air with the palm of your hand (progress to 4 fingers and then less fingers before moving onto other body parts)
Attempt to balance the item upright in the air for as long as possible without it falling
To make this harder try moving around something, using a shorter object or moving at a faster pace
Please give these a go as very easy and will certainly practice some core skills needed within cricket.
Comment any personal best times below and any progressions / other ideas you have had for some physical lockdown challenges.
