Stretching and Agenda

Good Morning!
There have been many questions about stretching, so I thought I would share two articles from Runner's World that addresses this issue. Please read the following:

1. Should I Stretch Before Running
2. Should You Stretch Before Running?

Once you have read the articles, please do the following:

1. Complete Fitness and Wellness Plan
2. Run or Exercise.

Thanks A and A

Health and Fitness Plan Workshop

Good Morning!
It is time to complete your fitness and health plans. I randomly reviewed student documents and noticed that the majority of students have not completed either, thus we are going to work on them for the next couple of days. This means that you will need to make up Thursday's fitness day on your own time. Here's a list of things that need to get done:

1. Fintess Plan
2. Health Plan
3. 3 Weekly Reflections

Just a reminder: You cannot earn credit for PE or health if you don't complete the projects!

Week 4, Day 2

Good Morning!
I am sorry that I did not post yesterday. I just wanted to remind people of two things:

1. The class should be currently following Week 4, Day 1 of the C25K app.
2. Please sign up for your B5K t-shirts. Here's the link: T-shirts
3. The culminating assessment for this class is on Saturday, May 30th @ 7pm. If you cannot make it, please let me know ASAP.

HW: Please be ready to get feedback on your fitness and wellness plan.

Good Morning!
We will break from the C25K today so we can begin working on our fitness and wellness plans. There we be very little class time to complete this work, so please use your time wisely.

4. Wellness Plan

Week 2, Day 2

Great job yesterday! Most people are really getting into the groove of running. Here's a couple of reminders:

1. You must log your exercise in order to earn credit for standards.
2. You must exercise at least 4 times a week. 
3. You must capture baseline data for this week (pedometer) so that you can set a realistic goal for the future. 

Tomorrow will focus on creating an exercise plan.

Keep up the fantastic work!
