Low Impact PE/Aerobics
This course is for students who do not want to take a traditional PE course but who want to be active in a non-competitive environment. We will be outdoors most of the time, occasionally off campus, but all activities will start and end on campus. Low-impact club-type activities, primarily walking-based, will introduce you to cardio fitness, flexibility, and strengthening; promote aerobic principles; and give you the opportunity to learn and practice pedestrian and cardio fitness safety and etiquette.
