Sudoku Fitness

A brains-and-brawn challenge where every number written into a Sudoku earns an exercise. It suits a numeracy fitness session or a short break between lessons, and puzzle difficulty and reps can be adjusted for any age.

1. 1Give each student a Sudoku challenge sheet and a pen.
2. 2Students start in a static hold and work on their puzzle.
3. 3Each number they add means completing that number's exercise, for example 1 is 20 squat thrusters, 2 is 20 push ups.
4. 4After the exercise, they take that number's static hold, such as plank or squat hold, and return to the puzzle.
5. 5The first to complete the Sudoku correctly wins.
6. 6Adjust the reps or the Sudoku difficulty to suit your class.
