My Favorite Procedures by Jordan Barba

Finishing work early

This is one of my favorites, especially in the strength and conditioning setting. My students often finish exercise routines at different times so it is necessary for me to have additional work for them to do.

Prevent distractions!

Most often the students who finish early are the more experienced with exercise, so additional work is not going to be an issue for them. It also prevents them from distracting other students who are attempting to finish their workout on time.

More complex movements

Often times, this is an opportunity for myself as the teacher to challenge them with more complex movements that some other students may not be ready for. This differentiated curriculum allows everyone to be challenged at their fitness level.

Daily Closing Message

Having a daily closing message allows me to revisit the material we covered throughout the day's lesson plan and focus on the important aspects.

Housekeeping

This is also an opportunity to remind them of any upcoming assignments or things they should be working on for future lessons. I also like to review points of performance they can focus on in case they go do the exercise movements on their own at the gym.

What's Next?

My daily closing messages also let the students know what is coming up in the next few days so they know what to expect for the week. On Mondays I let them know what the plan is for the week so they can mentally prepare themselves for what exercises or activities they will tackling in the days to come.
