Weight Control and Aerobic Conditioning
This course utilizes aerobic activities, strength training, and current nutritional information to help students achieve/maintain a healthy weight. Students will choose an aerobic activity that he/she enjoys. Each aerobic session will consist of a warm-up period, the aerobic workout and a cool-down followed by static stretching. Immediately following the aerobic workout, students will cool down and bring their heart rates to a specified rate. The aerobic exercises should be done on days other than when students are in course. During course time students will develop a resistance workout to enhance weight loss. This program is designed to improve and maintain cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Emphasis is placed on safety, proper exercise technique, and having fun while exercising. Strength training and cardiorespiratory exercise are both important in weight management and because many do not have access to weights other than on campus, cardio segments are done as an outside assignment.
