Measurable Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
  1. demonstrate the ability to work at 80% of the maximum heart rate for a minimum of 45 minutes;
  2. demonstrate the proper positioning when performing a squat under load;
  3. demonstrate three pulling exercises with an external load;
  4. analyze their high glycemic load diet as it relates to health and wellness;
  5. demonstrate three complex total body movement exercises while under an external load.
Course Content:
  1. Cardiovascular Endurance
  2. Definition
  3. Research on how strength and endurance are increased with proper training

Assignments and Methods of Evaluating Student Progress:
  1. Read about the benefits of a cardiovascular functional endurance training program. Be prepared to compare how this differs from a muscular strength training program.
  2. View, and practice, a number of pulling exercises then demonstrate to the class three pulling exercises with an external load
  3. View, read and practice exercises on squatting. Then demonstrate to the class three ways one can do a squat exercise with an external load
  4. Read the chapter on functional training. Be prepared to compare the benefits of functional training to weight lifting for improving fitness.
  5. Keep a food journal. Analyze this journal as it relates to the essential nutrients. Develop a diet that would provide the daily essential nutrients in the proper amounts based on the student's activity level
