Period 4 on the dumbells

On dumbell days, students customize their workouts to their needs and apply what they've learned all semester. They mix in dumbell exercises with core exercises, getting a well-rounded workout.

Looks like some back and pillar core exercises.

The girls take a break from their core workout.

Period 1 running the bleachers

Students are grouped into three different stations and learn the skill-related benefits of developing speed and power while running/walking the bleachers of our beautiful stadium. We also check heart rates for cardiovascular benefits as well. It's hard work but it pays off.

2nd Quarter Active Lifestyle Project

Students, please post a comment here. Include all of the following information:

• Give a reflection of the class so far and how you are performing towards meeting your personal goals.
• Comment on how cool this Blog site is.
• Research what the FITT Principle of training is and apply what you’ve learned to include the following:
  o Frequency: how often during the week do you exercise
  o Intensity: how hard do you exercise in relation to target heart rate zone
  o Time: how long are your workouts
• For full credit, you must mention at least three exercises, and one of these could be from class.

Speedball action: Period 5

Students in all classes learned the modified game of 'Speedball.' This provides an alternative to performing their typical cardio workout such as running and biking. In our class, points are allowed five different ways, giving the students a strategic challenge in obtaining points.

Here are some pics of Period 5 in action.
