Schools Out for Summer!

So, can you keep up your exercise over the summer?

Do you know who is Éric Moussambani?

This is the incredible story about a Guinean swimmer who was able to take part in the Olympic Games.

Moussambani was a wide-eyed 22-year-old when he made his way to Sydney for the Games: “I’d never even heard of Sydney or Australia, and it was the first time I’d ever been outside my country. The trip took three days and there were a lot of stopovers.”

The intrepid Moussambani was awestruck when he arrived at the Olympic Village and saw the facilities at Homebush Bay, home to the first 50m pool he had ever set eyes on: “I was scared by the sight of the first pool I’d be racing in.”.

"I come from Equatorial Guinea, a small country in the centre of Africa,” explains Eric Moussambani, who emerged as an unlikely hero of the Olympic pool at Sydney 2000. “I started swimming when I left school. We didn’t have a swimming pool. We didn’t have anything, and I went to train at a private hotel pool that was about 13 metres long I think.

“I trained on my own and I had no swimming experience. The pool was only available from 5am to 6am and I was only able to train for three hours a week. I used to go swimming in rivers and the sea too, though. The fishermen would tell me how to use my legs and how to swim. There was nothing professional about it at all.”

The first Global Race after the quarantine

The importance of a Balanced Diet

Hi guys! 

How are you doing?

Having a balanced diet is as important as our physical activity during this time at home. 
Please, take a look at the video and think about it:

• Am I eating properly during this time? 
• What should I improve?

Watch the following video where we are going to learn about nutrients and right amounts.

Work out at home!

Hi everybody!

I hope you and your relatives are well, during this uncomfortable time.

On behalf of the P.E. department we believe that the lock-down is not an excuse to stop exercising.
Students from "El Redín" are well-know as a great sport people; which is evident in the success of various competitions we have taken part in.

We would like to encourage you to do some exercise at home. It would be just a short amount of time every two or three days, so that you can keep fit.

Ask your family to do it with you!

Our first lesson will be an easy circuit which is a mix of cardio and strength.

Please add a comment at the end of the post; you can talk about your session, something you liked, something you found hard or something you fancy doing in the future, etc.

STAY STRONG!
