NAPFA Tips by Mr. Hiap

Hello All,

Thanks to those who have posted up your Fitness Plan.
Those who have not, please make it a point to post up yours!

Some tips for your NAPFA stations:

4 x 10m Shuttle Run: 
Stretch SIDEWAYS towards the bean bag with your nearest hand.
Hold onto the bean bag with the same hand. Do NOT transfer the bean bag to another hand.
It's a constant accelerate / decelerate process so you do not need to straighten up to run.
Finish strong. Only slow down after the finish line. Slide the bean bag over on the ground to your helper.

1 minute Sit-Up:
Cup your hand to your ears.
Both elbows to touch your kneescaps. (No need for elbows to go beyond your knees.)
No trunk twist needed.

Pull-Up / Inclined Pull-Up
When losing your grip, adjust your whole body to tighten your grip. (Once your body touches the ground, your time's up or 30 seconds).

Standing Broad Jump
Preparation:
Hands brush ankles.
Arms straight.
Hands at eye level when jumping.

Flight:
Keep knees high (like tuck jump).
Keep arms straight, hands still at eye level.

Land:
Land on heels. Absorb impact by bending legs / falling forward onto hands.

Sit & Reach
While waiting, stretch...
While stretching, breathe...
When maxed, breathe out and go a little further. Hold breath.
Listen for your high score... Celebrate (after releasing belt).

2.4km Endurance Run
7 3/4 rounds of the perimeter of the field.
Wet weather: 16 rounds around outside perimeter of ISH.
Go fast on the straights. Slow a little on the turns.
No headphones due to announcements from classmates / teachers.
Wear sports shoes, laces tightened for snug fit.
Keep some reserve for your last lap.
Give your best for the last half lap (about 200m).

Post up your tips as a thread. Peace.
