Lifetime Fitness has two components; classroom learning as well as exercise geared for lifetime physical fitness. In the classroom, students acquire the skills, habits and knowledge necessary for lifelong fitness. Topics include the Physical Activity Pyramid, principles of physical fitness and self-management skills. During the exercise component, students will engage in regular physical activity, as well as create and carry out a personalized fitness plan. This course is constructed to give students the opportunity to learn basic skills for first aid and CPR. Students will be able to earn an American Heart Association Certificate upon successful passage of the American Heart Association written and skills test. This course is also designed to teach students the basic components of health and fitness and to also learn and participate in a wide variety of lifetime activities. (NO PE SHIRTS REQUIRED)
