From PTO Today - Top 6 Exercises

From the April 2010 issue of PTO Today - "The #1 Resource for Parent Groups":

Top 6 Exercises for PTO Leaders

1. Cookie dough shrugs - Hold a tub of chocolate chip cookie dough in each hand; scrunch shoulders upward. Repeat until cooke dough thaws.

2. Dunk Tank Water Aerobics - March in place or swim in circles for one hour. Who cares who's watching - you've just burned 500 calories!

3. Welcome Lunges - Standing with feet shoulder-width apart, step far forward with one foot and hug new parents as they enter the school building. Repeat as needed, alternating sides.

4. Budget Crunches - Do a sit-up for every dollar your teacher luncheon committee has spent over its budget.

5. Principal Pilates - Bend over backward, jump through hoops, and stand on your head until he approves the space permit for bingo night.

6. Student Bench Presses - Lying on a cafeteria bench, lift a student above your head. Start with the little kindergarteners for the first few weeks, then work your way up to the bigger weights, like 5th graders.

PTO stands for Parent Teacher Organizations, which includes those units similar to a PTA or PTSA but who don't fall under the national umbrella of National PTA.
