Physical Fitness

Course Length

2 Semesters

In physical fitness, students learn about the components and importance of an active lifestyle. Students in grades 9-12 learn about the benefits of physical activity and good nutrition, mental and emotional benefits of exercise, correct motion and breathing, and the value of warming up and cooling down. Flexibility, levels of cardiovascular fitness, and strength training and conditioning are also discussed.

Lessons in this course from our online academy help explain calorie burning, resistance training, isolating exercises to focus on certain body locations, and ways to stay motivated. Developing a correct mindset and realistic goals is also covered. Some course work must be done outside of the online classroom, and students have the opportunity to try different exercises and keep a log of activities. This course also requires a fitness log of physical activity.
