Alright, so the stations basically work like this. You start at a certain station doing an activity, and after a certain period of time, you move to the next station and do a completely different activity. I find this is a very unique exercising strategy because it can give you a variety of different kinds of activities to do for only a small amount of time. So even if you don't really like a certain activity, you can be happy knowing you will only have to do it for a short period before you move on to something else. However, although I say that, this rotation can also have a bit of a backfiring effect. For example, I don't know if any of the teachers noticed but a few kids supposedly liked certain activities too much. So when rotation came around, these kids didn't really go with the flow and instead just stayed in the same station which, when put together with the kids who skipped certain stations, eventually lead to a crowd forming in that station (not a large one but big enough). And I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining but..... when too many people are in the same group and the amount of equipment is limited, it really just drags the energy down. It results in having to wait to long or not being able to do the activity. And I find that once I lose the flow in one activity, it kind of becomes hard to recover in other activities. Kind of like an energy sucker is following me around everywhere. That kind of feeling.
But anyway, I really liked the bench station (don't remember what number that was). You were suppose to do something like step on the bench with one foot and follow with you other, and then step down from the bench with the first foot and follow with the other, and repeat. Yeah, it didn't seem to complex and after a while you could even feel it if you were working hard enough. But it doesn't take up too much energy either, unlike skipping. So yeah, that's why its my favourite.
