Unit Summary: Grades 9-12
In this unit of our 9th-12th grade class, we will be engaging and learning the basics of how to build a personal physical fitness plan. Many physical education classes do not cover any material on how to workout in the gym, which exercises affect the major muscle groups, and an overall sense of how to succeed in a healthy lifestyle. This unit is NOT strictly about working out inside of a gym and lifting weights. However, part of this unit will cover workouts specific to lifting weights, giving each student an opportunity to possibly discover an interest of working out in this atmosphere. We will be very diligent in making sure each student performs all physical activities in a safe and organized way. We will also be learning all of the components of physical fitness, which will allow students to focus on multiple or all of the components while creating their personal fitness plans. This unit is very inclusive of all physical activities, and we will be holding in-depth discussions about why devoting time to being physically active is so important. We will provide each other with creative ideas that may be considered a great alternative to working out in the gym. The purpose of this unit is to provide students with the knowledge and capacity to create a plan devoted to their personal fitness. The learning of these skills will be extremely useful for their entire lifetime, as the students will contain knowledge that can be used towards lifelong physical fitness.
