Intro to Strength Training 

This course will offer and provide opportunities for our junior and senior grade level students to incorporate a more focused and directed strength-training program.  Students who enroll in this course will be introduced to exercise physiology terminology, proper anaerobic exercise prescription, and appropriate exercise protocol.  Students will experience a higher level and more rigorous strength training experience in this course.  Students will create individual exercise programs and will log their workout minutes as an on-going document to learn from.  This course will also offer students the opportunity to practice goal setting and meeting achievable goals through program refinements and modifications.  Ultimately this course is designed for the student who is more interested in, and more serious about learning and improving their application and knowledge of strength training.  Students in this course will spend much of their in-class time in focused workouts designed to help them reach their strength goals.  There will also be an out-of-class workout requirement to be logged by the students.  

Prerequisites:  Students must complete Wellness I & Wellness II with a passing grade or permission of instructor.
