I use the Fitnessgram Fitness test at our high school. As a follow-up to their scores, I want the student to develop their OWN fitness plan to improve their scores. I would like to use 15-20 minutes of class time dedicated to their personal improvement plan. A couple of questions: 1. Has anyone ever done anything like this?
2. Whay types of advice do you have
3. Any interesting websites that might aid the students in finding exercises/activities pertinient to their plan.
4. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
thanks,
mindy |

Hey Mindy! This is Jill from Coldwater!!! I just found this fantastic website called Teacher Vision. It has 3 items that I am going to use for my class. The three free items I found were Planning a Fitness Schedule, Unique Exercise Program, and Why is Exercise So Important. I am going to subscribe to this website, shortly!!!
If you get a chance this summer, I would love to meet up with you bounce some ideas off you. I have heard so many good things about your classes! I would truly value your opinion! |

I started working on fitness plans with using Smart goals. These smart goals come from Blue Cross (I think).
S-Specific
M-Measurable
A-Action
R-Realistic
T-Time
Specific is the specific thing you are working toward. FitnessGram is perfect because you can say that you are specifically working towards a FitnessGram push up.
Measurable is how you are going to measure your progress. For push ups it will be determined by the number of push ups you complete (quantity).
Action is what you will do (action) to accomplish the goal. I will perform 10 push ups a night while watching my favorite TV show.
Realistic is setting a goal that is feasible. Setting a goal for 200 push ups is unrealistic if you can only do 1 push up.
Time is the amount of time you will give yourself to retest to check on your progress. For the FitnessGram tests you might want to set up goals for the end of the quarter or grading period.
I've actually found that in the last year since I went to SMART goals that I get a lot better information from the students on completing a personal fitness plan. |
