Planning the Next Workout Overview

This lesson builds upon previous lessons where students learned about their cardiovascular system and the effect exercise has on their heart rate. Students learned how to take their manual pulse as well as how to use a heart rate monitor. Students have performed numerous fitness assessments to date (every three weeks), learned to set SMART goals and activity goals, to monitor their progress towards reaching their goals, modifying and adjusting their goals and activities as needed. Students have been actively participating in a personal fitness program where they have learned to design, monitor, and adjust on an ongoing basis. Now it’s time to see if they can apply what they know to a classmates’ fitness plan.
