Aerobic Fitness
Students will participate in aerobic activities geared toward improving cardiorespiratory fitness. Each workout session will consist of a warm-up, an aerobic cool-down, and a stretching routine. The warm-up will be between five (5) and ten (10) minutes; then students will do crunches and push-ups prior to beginning the aerobic segment. Crunches and push-ups will address muscular strength and endurance. The aerobic workout will range from 20 to 40 minutes to maintain the target heart rate. Immediately following the aerobic activity, students will cool down and bring heart rates down to a specified rate. Stretching is the last phase and is always done at the end of each workout to prevent muscular soreness and to improve flexibility. This program is designed to improve and maintain cardiorespiratory fitness as well as flexibility and body composition. Emphasis is placed on safety, proper exercise technique, and having fun while exercising. This course consists of organized/individual workouts. Fitness levels will be assessed three (3) times during the semester. Students will take a written midterm and final exam.
