Weekly Challenge: Super Movers warm-up routine

17 Feb 2021

TV presenter Ben Shires calls on children to stay active by creating a fun warm-up

The Premier League is continuing to support families and teachers in lockdown by providing free, weekly home-learning activities.

Suitable for five to 11-year-olds, the new Premier League Primary Stars Weekly Challenges have a theme of health and wellbeing, and are supported by curriculum-linked resources.

Warm-up routine

Being active can boost your mood and make you feel more positive, so CBBC presenter Ben Shires has set this week's challenge based around encouraging activity.

"When doing exercise, we can push our body to its limit, which is why it is essential we warm up beforehand," says Shires.

"So, for this week, we want you to come up with a fun warm-up routine that gets the heart rate rising and ends with a Super Move.

"Once you've perfected your Super Movers routine, why not share a video of you performing it with us on social media?

"Make sure you have the support of a parent or guardian and tag us using #PLPrimaryStars and #SuperMovers."
