PE Fitness Challenges

A four-station circuit in one small space — the challenge class that needs nothing but cones and a stopwatch.

Set-up: Place 4 cones in a square, one exercise per corner: jump squats, mountain climbers, shuttle sprints, plank hold.

How to play

1. 140 seconds at each corner, 20 seconds to move clockwise to the next.
2. 2Pupils count their own reps or hold time and remember (or note) their score.
3. 3Complete two full laps with a 1-minute water break between.
4. 4Repeat the circuit weekly — same stations, new personal bests.

Teaching points

• Form before speed — one quality repetition beats three rushed ones.
• Personal bests only: nobody's score is read aloud except by choice.
