INDEPENDENT STUDY - PERSONAL FITNESS

11th - 12th Grade
Credit - 1/4 Physical Education Credit
Semester 1 or 2

Department Approval Required

Personal Fitness is designed to allow students the opportunity to improve their health and skill-related fitness while participating in activities they enjoy and can do for a lifetime.  Students will access Google Classroom and document fitness needs by completing a series of tests that determine their cardiovascular fitness, strength, endurance, flexibility, and body composition.  Students will establish goals, prepare a personal fitness plan for the future, and keep performance records in a fitness log. This will provide students with the data needed to complete focus-session reflection papers, health-related article papers, and reflection papers describing the personal fitness activities that they engaged in throughout the semester. Student/teacher conferences are designed to be flexible and designed to meet any student's schedule. Students are required to complete 50 workouts for a minimum of 50 minutes. (This course does not qualify for NCAA eligibility.)
