Students learn that fitness is more than one thing — heart-and-lung endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and balance all matter, and different activities build different parts.
Students will be able to…
Some people can run far, some can lift a lot, some can bend and balance. What are the different kinds of fitness — and how do you build each one?
Project this and tap each component of fitness. Have students record what it is and an activity that builds it.
