PE Fitness Stations – 44 Movement Cards

Perform each of 44 named exercises (e.g., Jumping Jacks, Burpees, Crab Walk) following 2-4 numbered instructional steps.

Rotate through fitness stations grouped by category (cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength/endurance, flexibility, locomotor movement) in a circuit format.

Execute locomotor movements (e.g., skip, gallop, slide step) traveling from a starting line around a cone and back.

Set up stations by category (cardio, strength, flexibility, locomotor) so students rotate through a balanced circuit rather than repeating similar movement types.

For locomotor stations, pair students in a relay format, since each card instructs students to go one at a time and tag the next person in line.

Cardiovascular conditioning — students perform sustained movement exercises like jumping jacks, mountain climbers, and running in place.

Muscular strength and endurance — students perform pushups, squats, burpees, and wall sits following numbered instructions.

Flexibility — students hold static stretches (e.g., butterfly stretch, cobra stretch, sit and reach) for 15-30 seconds per the card instructions.

Locomotor movement — students travel using specific gaits (skip, gallop, slide step, crab walk) around a cone in a relay format.
