PE Fitness Lifestyle Design (PE 2)
Open
This fitness course was designed to offer three modules of motivation to achieve a healthy lifestyle for teens. The modules Move Strong, Live Well, and Eat Healthy, guide students through strength and endurance training, choosing lifetime fitness activities, and connecting nutrition to lifetime fitness. The course is filled with language and images that reflect strength and diversity to motivate teens and allow them to envision themselves committing to fitness activities and a healthy mindset.
This course includes assignments that ask students to count calories which can be emotionally challenging and may be triggering for some individuals. Please let your instructor know if this is the case for your student, and the assignment will be modified or excluded.
