Course Description:

Personal Fitness is a required course for graduation. It introduces the five health related components of fitness. Students will learn to recognize, evaluate, and develop those components. They include flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance, and body composition. Students will also study principles of training, nutritional fitness, the muscular and skeletal systems, and will develop their own personal fitness plan and goals.

Materials and Supplies:

Please bring the following to class every day: you will need a spiral notebook (10 ½ “ x 8” 70 sheets) that will be kept in the classroom for writing assignments. A pair of inexpensive headphones or earphones that can be used with a computer is recommended for internet assignments, because for some tasks they will be required to listen to video and audio.

Makeup Work Policy:

At the beginning of class on the day you return, you will be expected to turn in any assignments that were collected while you were out. At the end of class, check with me to see what you missed and to pick up handouts, arrange to makeup tests, quizzes, etc. Turn in any missed assignments the next class session. This is your responsibility!

Grades:

Grades are calculated by dividing the total points earned by the total points possible.

To succeed in this class, complete ALL assignments and have great attitude and effort!
