Your child is about to enter a competitive examination. You
have been duly concerned with developing mental agility and building topic
knowledge. You need a fit and healthy child on the day of the examination.
Somehow, into the busy day and week, you may find that you need to do a little
fitness training.
Your much loved child may suggest a Wii – along with the
fitness package. “Mum, I promise I will never play a game until I have done my
eleven plus work and my eleven plus physical work out.” Another option could be
to hire a personal trainer for your child. Failing these two options you may
find that you need to develop a Do It Yourself fitness training program.
Your child’s profile
Reasonably fit and healthy.
Swims three times a week.
Play football.
Rides bicycle.
Like exercise
Would welcome extra attention
Goal Setting
Would be willing to give up some pen and paper eleven plus
work to develop physical fitness eleven plus work.
Will be realistic and understand that you are doing your
best.
The Weekly Program
Cardiac
Endurance
Will adopt warm up and cool down exercises
Evaluation
Would be willing to evaluate the effectiveness of each
session
Will accept your feedback (To a degree)
Will demonstrate understanding of what you are trying to
achieve.
If your child is able to develop and show sustained progress
then you should be able to award a Level 3 Eleven Plus Physical Fitness badge.
You just hope that this badge is the equivalent of ten eleven plus points. This
could be the difference between pass or fail.
