1. Create an At-Home Workout Routine

Some people thrive on routines, even outside of obligations. Adding physical activity to your

everyday routine can normalize it and increase the chance that you’ll do it every day. Find the best

time for you to squeeze in a workout. If you’re not a morning person, don’t force yourself to wake

up at the crack of dawn to go for a jog. Instead, fit in physical activity during the afternoon.

Set Goals for Yourself

Sometimes it’s easier to accomplish a task when you have a goal to work toward. Goals can be as

simple as aiming for 150 minutes of physical activity a week, as recommended by the Centers for

Disease Control. Or, you can aim for something more challenging, such as gaining muscle or

training for a marathon

It’s no secret that physical activity is crucial to a healthy lifestyle. Movement of any sort promotes

good heart health, strong bones and improved balance. Sitting around all day can even reduce how

long you live. Studies have shown that even small bits of physical activity throughout the day will

lengthen and improve your life.

However, it can be difficult to get in daily exercise when you’re at home. Whether’s it’s for health

reasons or simply a lack of access to proper equipment, finding ways to increase physical activity

at home can be a challenge. The good news is that you’re probably more active than you think.

Using the stairs in your home or building, taking pets for walks and even scrubbing stubborn
grease off dishes all count as physical activity. There are many physical activity examples you are

likely already taking part in — most home tasks require some active activities.

Whether you are working at home in quarantine or otherwise away from the gym, we put together

this list of some fitness activities for you to stay active at home and away from home.

10 Easy Physical Activities for Adults

If you work from home or have children who get restless when they’re cooped up inside, you’re

You can even communicate with your gym or personal trainer and get advice on which goals to set

and how to work toward them in a safe and effective way.

3. Improvise Exercise Equipment

If you feel you’re limited by a lack of exercise equipment, find ways to improvise. You can use full

water bottles or cans of food to lift weights or use the stairs in place of a stair machine. You can

also use furniture or the walls of your home for resistance exercises.

Take Advantage of Online Classes

Many gyms offer online workouts that you can do in the comfort of your own home, so take

advantage of them. These virtual group classes range from aerobics to yoga and Pilates, allowing

you to keep up your exercise regiment in a convenient way.

Keep Yourself Motivated

Exercising can be dull, which is why a quarter of all Americans don’t do enough of it. Motivation has

a lot to do with it, and it can be even harder to find when you’re stuck at home

Add Physical Activity to Learning

Make homework and studying fun by creating “missions” for your kids to complete. Design the

missions to align with their schoolwork to implement a learn-by-doing method, which can help kids

learn.

Chapter - 2 Plan activities for developing cognitive skills

9 Cognitive Skills to Develop

(A)Cognitive skills – Reading, Writing, Numeracy,

Cognitive SkillsCognitive skills are extremely important to develop during the early
years of life as they help your brain think, read, learn, reason, pay attention and
remember. These skills help process incoming information and distribute it to the
appropriate areas of the brain. Improving and mastering these skills results in a better
and easier experience in school by being able to understand and complete tasks
successfully.

Below are the nine cognitive skills every child should develop.

Sustained Attention ( lagatar pryash )

Allows a child to stay focused on a single task for long periods of time. listening to
lecture, reading a book, playing a video, or fixing a car

Selective Attention

Allows a child to place their focus on one single task despite other distractions around
them. An example of this is doing their homework when the television is on and avoid
getting distracted by it.

Divided Attention

On the other hand, divided attention allows a child to multitask and perform two tasks at
once without forgetting information about either action.Divided attention is a
higher-level skill where you have to perform two (or more) tasks at the same time,
a

Long-Term Memory

This allows children to retain information from the past. This cognitive skill is crucial
when taking tests, or recalling formulas, or names during school activities.
Working Memory

Working memory allows children to retain information while using it. This is helpful
when following a series of instructions without having to stop and look back at the
tasks over and over again.

Logic and Reasoning

Improving this skill will result in better problem solving and idea generation. This ability
will also reduce the sense of feeling overwhelmed when presented with difficult
situations.

Auditory Processing

This critical skill allows a child’s brain to better analyze, blend, and segment information.
Auditory processing is especially useful when learning to read by helping better
understand the information being presented.

Visual Processing

Just like auditory processing, visual processing helps interpret visual information better.
Things such as images, maps, graphs, and tables will be much easier to analyze and
understand.

Processing Speed

Performing tasks faster and accurately is a result of processing speed ability. Children
will be able to interpret information faster and improve productivity in school tasks.

(2) Understanding Duration

Duration is the total time that it takes to complete a project measured in
work days, hours or weeks. The duration depends on the availability and
capacity of resources. Effort is the number of people hours needed to complete a
task, i.e. it's the actual time that is spent on working on the project.

A learning outcome describes the overall purpose or goal from participation

in an educational activity. Courses should be planned with a measurable
learning outcome in mind. Objectives are used to organize specific topics or
individual learning activities to achieve the overall learning outcome.
