Course Overview:

In this course, we will be participating in a variety of fitness activities designed to improve
personal fitness some examples of which are: weight training, hill and stair running, yoga, boot
camps, circuit and interval training as well as participating in many field experiences. The
purpose of the field experiences is to gain exposure to some different types of fitness classes that
exist in our community. While we will be choosing our field trips based on the interests of the
class, some possibilities include hiking, martial arts, spin class, paintball and rock climbing.

We will focus on setting and working towards personal fitness goals throughout the semester

Classroom Expectations

Super Fit is a course where you will be expected to work hard on a daily basis. Your success in
meeting your fitness goals will be directly related to your level of participation and your will to
succeed. We will work toward creating a safe, supportive community within our class where we
can encourage and motivate each other so that as a group, we can be successful in meeting our
fitness and wellness goals. Other expectations include:

Students must work cooperatively and treat each other and the teacher with respect.
Students must ask permission from the teacher to leave class for any reason.
Students should speak English in class as much as possible
No jewelry, cell phones, MP3s or other objects should be in your pockets
No eating or chewing gum in the gym or outside as it can be a choking hazard
Teacher dismisses the students, not the bell (all classes are finished with a class cheer!)
