SUPER FIT COURSE OUTLINE

Sullivan Heights Secondary

Super Fit 11 - 12

COURSE OUTLINE

In this course, we will be participating in a variety of fitness activities designed to improve personal fitness – some examples of which are:  weight training, hill and stair running, yoga, boot camps, circuit and interval training as well as participating in many field experiences.  The purpose of the field experiences is to gain exposure to some different types of fitness classes that exist in our community and to gain confidence in a workout setting.  While we will be choosing our field trips based on the interests of the class, some possibilities include hiking the grouse grind, martial arts, hot yoga, spin class, cross fit, muscle pump class, swimming and rock climbing.

We will focus on setting and working towards personal fitness goals throughout the semester – some of which will be measurable increases in such fitness testing as the beep test, step test, push – ups etc.  Your personal fitness goals can encompass any or all of the components of fitness – cardiovascular endurance, strength, power, agility, and flexibility. 

Assessment for this course will consist of blog entries, reflection, self assessment and exit interviews with Ms. Phillips as well as various opportunities for self and peer based assessment of participation, effort, behaviour and fitness.  As a class we will be discussing the details of assessment on an ongoing basis.  You will be creating a blog in this class as an online journal to reflect on & track your progress, act as evidence of learning, interact with your peers in the class and find inspiration & motivation.   Together we will construct a grade that best represents your progress in the course.

Super Fit is a course where you will be expected to work hard on a daily basis.  Your success in meeting your fitness goals will be directly related to your level of participation and your will to succeed.  We will work toward creating a safe, supportive community within our class where we can encourage and motivate each other so that as a group, we can be successful in meeting our fitness and wellness goals.
