Weight Lifting/Conditioning Class

The class is intended for all students whether you are an athlete or non-athlete. Statistics show that a well conditioned body will improve academic performance (Brain Rules-John Medina). The goal of this class is to improve upon whatever physical shape you are currently in and make you more physically and mentally fit. This will be accomplished by 3 days of lifting in the Bigger Faster Stronger program and two days of skills, agilities and various aerobic activities. This program has been run successfully during the summers in the Colfax High School weight room and has proven results.

Regular attendance is considered a high priority in all the weight lifting classes. Attendance and participation are related to the instructional goals and objectives of weight lifting. When a student is not in attendance, he/she misses important instruction from the teacher. ATTENDANCE IS THUS A BASIS FOR GRADING IN WEIGHTLIFTING. This is a participation class only. You must dress down every down unless you have a note from a doctor. Credit will be denied when a student has reached twelve non-school related absences or 5 non-dress days.

If you take a non-dress day, you will make it up after school.
