Periodical Reviews
Read two articles related to fitness. Articles relating to exercise, nutrition, stress, or health care would be appropriate. After reading the articles, write a review of what the article was about and an evaluation of the article. Do you agree with what the author was saying? Please include the name of the magazine, date, title of article and web site (if you took it from the web) in your review. All evaluations need to be typed and please pay attention to spelling and grammar. Each article review is worth a possible 6.5 points.
Cardio workouts
To encourage you to develop your cardiovascular endurance, you may choose to do extra cardio workouts for a total of 13 extra workouts. You will receive 1 point for each workout you do. It is only possible to get 1-2 points a week for this project. (There are 10 weeks in the term) Workouts should last at least 30 minutes and not involve a lot of rest. Acceptable activities include walking (fast), jogging, biking, swimming, etc. You should be in your target zone for the duration of the workout. Playing softball is not a good cardiovascular development activity in that there is too much resting involved.
* Wear proper clothing for each activity. (Athletic shoes, shorts, T-shirt, sweats)
* Three make-ups can be arranged by working out on your own for about 45 minutes.
* Points may be deducted for tardiness or non-participation.
* If you require specific instructional accommodations, please notify me early in the course.
