Physical Fitness is designed to provide an opportunity for a student to be SERIOUS about lifting weights and improving their overall fitness. Benefits include muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, and an awareness of safe methods and unsafe “fads” designed to improve fitness.
Units of Study
Students will be following an instructor developed workout plan. Students will also be able to incorporate off-season and in-season workouts specific to their sport. Programs and lifts for each muscle group will be included. There will also be some conditioning involved periodically. Students are expected to participate in all phases of the program.
Grading Procedures
Class grades will be based on the following criteria:
1. Dressing Out
2. Being on time 1st Tardy = -1, 2nd Tardy = -2, 3rd Tardy = -3, etc.
3. Completion of required strength training
4. Completion of required conditioning
** Not Dressing Out / Not Participating CAN result in a grade reduction.
1. Each student will receive 5 points daily for dressing out AND participating
2. Points will be lost for not being properly dressed out. See Required Clothing.
3. Points will be lost for not completing any running, and the daily workout.
4. Points will also be lost for not taking the class SERIOUS. This is a workout class.
-1 pt, B for the day; -2 pts, D for the day; -3 pts up to -5 pts is an F for the day
5. The first two No Dresses will be a 25 pt (5%) reduction from your FINAL semester grade. Each additional No Dress will result in a 50 pt (10%) reduction from your FINAL semester grade. Students will also have the opportunity to make up only one No Dress per semester by running 25 laps around the gym.
Example: 1st No Dress = 25 pt reduction of semester grade(possibility of make up)
2nd No Dress = 25 pt reduction of semester grade(can not be made up)
Each additional No Dress = 50 pt reduction off of semester grade.
*If zero No Dresses are made up, and no other points are lost, then approx.
1 No Dress = 95% (A)
2 No Dress= 90% (A)
3 No Dress= 80% (B)
4 No Dress=70% (C)
5 No Dress=60% (D)
6 or more No Dress= F
