• This course provides opportunities for students to increase their fitness and enhance their understanding of exercise and health. The course focus is on holistic fitness improvements, including online Health and Physical Education content reading, writing, assessments, and a weekly fitness log. Unit topics will include fitness principles, safety, biomechanical principles, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, flexibility, and designing a personal fitness plan.

• Students must complete the in-person pre-assessment and post-assessment fitness tests. Students must maintain or exceed the individually demonstrated standard of fitness throughout the duration of the summer school course (determined by a post-assessment fitness test).

  • The fitness assessments will be performed in person with a certified Health & Physical Education teacher. Students will receive a sign-up link in the registration confirmation email to select a pre- and post-fitness test date and time.

• In addition to the online Edgenuity instruction and assessments, students will use an online exercise fitness log to describe and track individual weekly exercises. The required fitness log will be tracked in Edgenuity and must include 4 hours of planned and intentional exercise every week for the entire 5 weeks of the summer school course. The fitness log allows students to tailor their workouts to meet their individual goals.

• Students who have previously taken Lifetime Fitness may take the course again. If you are taking the course for a second or third time you will automatically be enrolled in Lifetime Fitness II or III. Lifetime Fitness II & III build upon and expand on the content of the previous Lifetime Fitness course.
