Fit For Life

I am a physical education teacher at a public high school and instruct a "Fit for Life" after school program. Through this program, the students are developing the knowledge and skills to be...fit for life! They begin to understand the concepts of fitness and a healthy lifestyle and are giving the opportunity to have first hand experience with creating fitness goals. My goal is to teach students how to enhance their physical fitness without the cost of expensive equipment and gym membership. I teach skills that the students can utilize at home using resistant bands, small hand weights, stability balls and mats. Though this equipment is relative inexpensive, I have 37 students in my program and the cost to purchase all that equipment is out of our budget. I want to be able to have all students participating throughout the entire time to maximize participation. I would also like to gift the equipment to the students so they continue this program and teach family members at home to be fit for life. Students become the teachers.
