Why use a pe warm up wheel

Fourteen gentle warm-up moves are on the wheel, with no equipment needed. Spin one on a tablet or the gym screen, do it for 30 seconds, and repeat four or five times before the main activity.

Warm up a class with no planning
Spin five moves at the start of the lesson, and let a student call each one out.
Change up a team’s warm-up
Coaches can spin a new order each week, so it doesn’t feel the same every time.
Move indoors on a rainy day
Most of the moves fit beside a desk, for a class that can’t go outside.

This wheel wears the Spin Class theme: gym floor: rubber mats, chalk dust, a kettlebell hub and a stopwatch. Your own copy keeps it, or pick another wheel theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a PE warm-up be?

Five minutes or so is common. Four or five spins at 30 seconds each, with a short walk between, fills it.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own warm-up picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
