Good morning North Springfield. We’re here for our morning
stretches and activity. We’re so excited you can join us. We’re
going to do a little stretches and then we’re going to do little of this
or that.
((Suzanne Metz, Physical Education teacher))
Hi, my name is Suzanne Metz. I’m a PE teacher at North
Springfield Elementary School, the best school in the world.
((NATS: Suzanne Metz))
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I know we are all really
got to stay at our houses now, but you can still exercise. So, we
want to make sure we keep getting outside to exercise.

Every morning, Cooper and I get on Facebook live at 9:45 a.m. to
put out a workout routine for my kids at my school. Anyone can
join. My son Ryan is so great. He records it for us and it’s a lot of
fun.

I can’t believe how much I miss you guys. It’s crazy. I got to
hang out with my two kids all the time, not so easy.
Let’s try it one more time, ready? Here we go.
((Suzanne Metz, Physical Education teacher))
Who inspired me to do the videos is very easy. The kids at my
school. They’re the inspiration behind all of this. I want them to
know that I am here for them. I am here for them in all kinds of
ways. If it’s just working out with them in the morning, then that’s
the way it will be. I want them to know that I will be there
throughout all of this, throughout the quarantine, all the way up
until September, when I can finally see them again.

and jumps))
Six jumps on both feet. One, two, three…..
((Suzanne Metz, Physical Education teacher))
The feedback we have gotten from the videos has been
incredible. We’ve gotten unbelievable feedback from parents,
from students, from other counties. I really think it mostly has to
do with the whole mom-son workout combination.
((NATS: Sue & Cooper exercising))
Everyone always texts me, “Hey Cooper! Cooper looks good.” I
want to hear how you rate him on his exercises today. Let’s see if
he does them right. Here we go.
((Suzanne Metz, Physical Education teacher))
My advice to everybody is to get outside and have some fun with
their families. Come up with some interesting, fun games to play
together. Have fun, laugh, enjoy each other’s company.
((NATS: Suzanne & Cooper playing games outside))
All right, the next one. 25 punch and kick. So, you’re going to do
punch and kick, 25.
((Suzanne Metz, Physical Education teacher))
Remember, healthy body equals a healthy mind. Stay safe
everybody.
((NATS: Suzanne & Cooper playing games and exercising
outside))
Relax those shoulders, relax your arms and take one more deep
breath in and let it out and turn to somebody in your family and
say, “Thanks for being you. Thanks for being you.” Love you
guys. We’ll see you tomorrow.
