YET ANOTHER SNOW DAY

Hope you are keeping warm.  I had to shovel around vents outside today and it was COLD!

I cannot stress enough about starting your evaluations during this time off.  Fitness students - your info was posted here last weekend and parenting students you got your assignment Dec 16 during class.  If you do not have your sheet, the assignment is also posted below...scroll down to find it.

Yesterday I emailed and texted those whose emails and phone numbers I had.  I asked them to pass along the info to all their contacts in the class.  IF you are reading this please do the same.  Send it out as a text to everyone in your contacts who is in our class please

It will be a busy couple of weeks now having lost 3 days.  Fitness students BE SURE TO HAVE PHYSED CLOTHES TOMORROW 

Yet another snow day

Stay inside - stay warm!  The last time I remember weather like this was the blizzard of 1977 and 1971 - that was a long time ago.

Parenting Students I don't think we will go to CPS tomorrow if we are back at school.  We will start with child safety.  Be sure to start you final evaluation project - these two days are perfect for working at a relaxed pace at home.  You have the assignment sheet or you can find it posted here on the blog.  Scroll down a few posts, to last December

Fitness students - If it warms up and you can go outside - shovelling snow is great exercise.  Otherwise there are lots of 1/2 exercise segments on TV or you can find body weight exercises here:

You know that I would want you to get your hour of physical exercise each day :)

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT YOUR FINAL EVALUATION POSTED BELOW.....I WOULD ADVISE STARTING PART B

Hopefully I see you tomorrow

SNOW DAY!

Well today was a snow day and it was very quiet when I was at school today.  Hopefully you took advantage of the day to get yourself organized for the rest of the semester.  You will notice I posted the schedule for the remainder of the semester as well as your final evaluations.  Fitness students you would be advised to begin planning your "PART B" final evaluation.

We will see what tomorrow brings - stay tuned to this space for an update - if necessary I will modify our schedules slightly if we miss tomorrow as well

FITNESS 30 FINAL EVALUATION....lots of info here, copies also available in class

PAF 30 Final Assessment

2014

This Final Assessment is worth 30% of your final mark and will consist of 3 parts. Each part MUST be handed in on the due date or a mark of “0” is assigned.

PART A: Fitness App Evaluation

The internet and ipad apps are big sources of fitness workouts. You will choose one of the ipad apps (it will be a totally random draw) and you will work through the workouts and evaluate the app. Use the sheet provided to explain the app, discuss its advantages and its disadvantages and write a “report” on it.

DUE: TUESDAY JANUARY 14^th

PART B: Fitness Workout Assignment

Susan is a 38 year old mother of 3 who wants to get back into shape so she can keep up with her kids, carry the groceries without huffing and puffing, tone up her arms, gain some flexibility, and maybe even loose a few pounds. She has come to you for help.

You need to design a 45 minute workout for her. It must include:

_____ a warm up

_____ an aerobic component

_____ an upper body component
_____ a lower body component

_____ a cool down

_____ You MUST include at least 5 different pieces of equipment (eg bosu, stability ball, lebert bars, free weights, battling ropes, bands, stairs, spin bike etc) – you may include H.I.I.T. (high intensity interval training)

_____ You MUST also be very specific...don't just say “15 minutes on the bike” ....design a 15 minute bike workout that has her doing different things on the bike

Your workout will be written (or typed) on a piece of paper and handed in. You will also demonstrate your exercises and you have a couple of options.

-You may demonstrate in person to me during class,

-You may use an ipad and have someone take photos of you demonstrating the exercises – and create a slide show in “Keynote” or another app (eg. show me, pages, jot,

-You may use the ipad and have someone video your entire demonstration

YOUR WRITTEN FINTESS PLAN FOR SUSAN IS DUE MONDAY JANUARY 20

If you are presenting in person, that will be Mon, Tues, Wed, Jan 20,21,22

If you are creating a video or ipad presentation that is due Tuesday Jan 21

Part C: Fitness Logbook and Reflection

Using the results of your fitness tests and the information in your fitness logs look back on the past 5 months and evaluate the progress you made in your personal fitness. You will write this reflection in class on Thursday January 23. You will also hand in your log book that day so be sure that all logs are complete and all required pages filled out.

Your Written Reflection Needs to answer/address the following:

• Look at your last fitness test results and compare them to your initial fitness test. In what two areas did you make your greatest improvement?

• Why do you think that happened? What fitness activities helped you improve?
• In what two fitness tests did you make little or no progress?
• Why do you think that happened? What fitness activity or component of fitness did you perhaps ignore?
• What was your main fitness goal and did you achieve that goal over the course of the semester? Why or why not?
• Were there any barriers to you achieving your goal that you had to overcome?
• What was the main thing you learned about stress reduction and did you adopt any of the strategies we learned about

Fitness reflection will be COMPLETED IN CLASS THURSDAY JANUARY 23 2014....on a handout I will provide

LOG BOOK IS DUE THAT DAY AS WELL
