COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

The student will:

       1.      Define aerobic exercise

       2.      Calculate and monitor their exercise heart rate

       3.      Perform safe and effective basic step patterns

               choreographed to music for 20-30 minutes

       4.      Identify working muscles by name

       5.      Exhibit knowledge about basic anatomical and physiological

               concepts as they pertain to aerobic training, muscular

               strength,and flexibility.

Topics and Scope

I.      The class.  Each workout will consist of:

       A.      Warm-up

               1.      Begin to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the

                       body in increased heart rate and elevation

                       of body core temperature.

               2.      5 - 10 minutes

       B.      Aerobic exercise

               1.      Continuous exercise 20-30 minutes performed at

                       exercise heart rate.

       C.      Cool down

               1.      3 - 5 minutes

       D.      Muscle strengthening and toning exercise

               1.      10 - 20 minutes

               2.      Isolate muscle groups - upper, lower body

               3.      Use resistance

                               a.      Bands, exercise tubes

       E.      Body awareness and stretching exercises

               1.      3 - 15 minutes

II.     Present principles of cardiovascular/respiratory fitness

       A.      Time, duration, mode

       B.      Calculate exercise heart rate

III.    Present biomechanical principles of safe exercise as they pertain

       to intermediate level bench stepping

IV.     Strength exercises and flexibility

       A.      Posture alignment

       B.      Static stretching
