If you put a group of students into a room full of workout equipment, I can guess that a good 50-60% of them do not know how to use the equipment properly. With the exception of those involved in school athletics. Since most physical education classes are relatively short, it can be a waste of a class period to show each individual machine and the proper techniques for using them while the students stand and watch. I'm a big fan of body weight exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, crunches, dips etc. Basically any exercise that can be done with little to no equipment and the students still receive a good workout from doing them. My question is how can you keep students motivated and interested in learning these exercises in the classroom as well as attempting to build life long fitness goals for the student? |
