Pre-Movement Challenge
To the song Bring Sally Up, perform planks. On the lyrics “Bring Sally Up” go up into a plank hold. On the lyrics “Bring Sally Down” rest. Continue for as long as you can. You can substitute squats or burpees for added challenge!
Then:
Set out a tray of about 10 random items from around your home.
Give your child 1:00 to study the tray. Then, have them perform ONE round of the workout. While they are not looking, remove 1-2 items from the tray and have them tell you what is missing after each round of the workout.
Continue this for 10:00.

Are you wondering how to keep your children active over the 3 weeks social distancing period? IgniteGym is here to help!
Each morning, we will provide you with an At-Home BrainWOD!
BrainWODs are specifically created workouts to stimulate cognitive and physical activity. With so many people practicing social distancing for the next few weeks, we wanted to make sure everyone’s BRAINS and BODIES stay active, healthy and happy.
The activities are designed for all ages. Adults can benefit greatly as well!

Happy MOVING!
Hi Everyone!
We’ve had quiet a few new followers over the last couple months, so this week, I want to go back to the basics and share some information and fun facts about IgniteGym!
Today, I’ll start by introducing myself and my vision behind the program!
I’m Hayley Campbell, Owner of IgniteGym. We are located in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. My path with Ignite began in 2013. I had just had my first daughter, still on Maternity Leave and the previous owner asked if I’d be able to coach one group, one night a week. I had followed the program and knew I wanted to get involved. So I said, “Yes, if course!”. The day my maternity leave ended; I already had a full schedule and was excited to continue the journey. I quickly moved into the role of Head Coach and In 2016, was promoted to General Manager. In spring 2018, my boss brought me to a business ownership conference in Chicago. After the weekend of soaking up advise and guidance from successful business owners, he sent me a message telling me it was time to buy him out. Could I possibly be up for that challenge!?
July 2018, I purchased IgniteGym. I was so thrilled to be able to grow and build upon IgniteGym and expand the vision! We service children of ALL needs! Parents that come in for consultations will often question whether their child is okay to participate in a “gym” and I ALWAYS say YES! No matter what your child’s abilities are, we can always find some activities that will get their bodies moving! When we say we work with kids of all abilities, we TRULY mean it.
This year, IgniteGym has also created an affiliate program and other gyms and Private Schools around North America are implementing IgniteGym into their own gyms! With this, I am over the moon. With one gym in Sault Ste Marie, we can only help so many children, but with multiple gyms sharing the same vision, we can help LOTS!
Tomorrow, I will answer a frequently asked question:
What exactly is IgniteGym?
Have a great day,
Hayley
Set up an obstacle course that includes:
Run
Roll
Jump
Climb
Hang
Crawl
At the beginning of the obstacle course have a list of 5-15 words depending on the age group. Have a white board or piece of paper at the end of the course. They take 30s memorizing the words, run through the obstacle course and write down or recite as many words as they can recall.
3:00
Run 100m
6 dumbbell shoulder press
Rest 3:00 Think about what is going RIGHT in your life. Write them down.

12 good mornings
3:00 What do you want to change in your life. Write them down.
As many rounds as possible of:
10 Skaters
10 leg lifts over an objects
10 knees to elbows (scale to candlesticks)
Then Odd or Even Tic Tac Toe
This game is played with the same objective as Tic Tac Toe.
One player is Even. So they get 0,2,4,6,8
One player is Odd. So they get 1,3,5,7,9
Players alternate turns placing numbers in the squares to get a sum of 13. You may get a sum of 13 horizontally, vertically or diagonally and you may use the same number more than once.
