Explore and Discover AstronautDay 6 Challenge:

Our focus today is to improve your agility, coordination and speed! For this challenge you be carrying weighted objects from the Exploration area back to your Base Station to improve Anaerobic and Aerobic fitness. This could be done with lifting weights, or setting up a course with heavy household objects. Remember to lift carefully and check out the mission briefing below for more tips and advice on this activity.

See how you do with getting up and down and how fast you can finish your own course. Want some instruction on how to complete these activities?
