These fitness homeworks are meant for the students to take home and complete. These assignments are designed to ensure the students are exercising outside of school. These assignment are focused on the Cardiovascualur fitness component to improves their overall fitness levels.

This is a homework assignment that gives students a focus on the Muscular Strength health related topic with questions about that reading. Along with the reading the students must complete a 30 minute workout. If they get a family member to complete the workout with them they get extra credit. This is done to attempt to get the community involved in fitness as well.

These homeworks are graded out of 10 points and are designed to help the student who are in need of extra help outside of school. We give this homework out at the beginning of the week and it isdue on friday. We see our students every other day.

Awesome! Researched and written extremely well. Thank you for sharing your work. You are the ultimate professional. If you don't have your NBCT yet, go for it! This is especially true if your state or school give financial incentives.
Would love to network with you.
