- Move: completing the agility circuit will make our hearts beat fast and muscles work hard, helping us keep healthy.
- Think: keeping going and being motivated to work hard supports our bodies and minds, helping us to complete the circuit.
- Feel: encouraging our partner to improve and helping to motivate them shows a strong sense of empathy.

Common mistakes
Some pupils may think that working on our muscles means lifting heavy weights to make them big and bulging.
Healthy muscles don't need to be bulging muscles. They need to stay supple so they work well; they need rest so they don't get injured; they need to be used regularly so they don't become stiff. This can all be achieved without lifting weights.
For parents, carers and teachers
- The equipment listed allows for both partners to exercise at the same time. If only half the equipment is available, pupils can take turns at each activity. Alternatively, some activities can be removed from the circuit and another activity repeated twice.
