zoo animals

Telling a child to do ten jumping jacks or run in

In the fitness world, jumping exercises are called ‘plyometrics,’ and they 

are excellent for building strong hearts and fast muscles. We are going to

combine physical education with zoology, learning how and why 

different animals jump, and training our own bodies to do the same.
