4th PRIMARY SCHOOL OF KERATSINI-3rd Grade ,GREECE
In this exercise, the trainee astronauts increase their speed, aerobic ability( essential equipment in space), co-operation and flexibility. They have to stand up, firstly, from a prone position and secondly, from a supine position and then, run among cones up to a defined point and come back. An important characteristic is discipline to the rules so that we have a good result, as if we were in space, where nobody must deviate from his task or else the mission will not be accomplished.

In photos 1-6 the little astronauts warm up in order to be ready for the greater pressure that follows…
In photos 6-8 they are doing abs in order to increase the strength of their abdominals. The abdominal muscles along with the back muscles, which we exercise in photos 9-16, are very important because they protect the bowels and give energy to the body for a number of movements, such as walking, running and jumping. They also help our body gyrate, lie down, get up quickly and even stay still.
How important are all these for the astronauts? Believe us… VERY MUCH !
