Catalog Description:

The emphasis of this course is on life-long exercise principles combined with the immediate benefit of a strength and aerobic workout. Using jogging as the aerobic exercise of choice, this course examines cardio-respiratory fitness, exercise principles, and how to design and evaluate fitness programs/workouts. This course will emphasize target Heart Rate: how to find it and how to use it when establishing and evaluating goals. The student will experiment with different types of workout and be encouraged to apply the information to their own body and level of conditioning.
