Overview
The personal
fitness curriculum is designed with the intent of improving the many aspects of
wellness including, cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance,
flexibility, mental health, nutrition and personal safety. This class
incorporates a wide variety of activities in order to target every one of these
aspects. Activities range from step aerobics, kickboxing, self-defense, and
dance to Pilates, Yoga, weight training and stress-management techniques.
Students will also be introduced to new fitness technology, which will help
