I will look at how well you measure and set up the machines as well.

We are in our final week of Strength Training. Next Monday, 10/12, we will be starting a 3 week unit of Jump Rope in the Multi Use Room. I will have jump roping handouts for you to print out next weekend, due on Monday in class. I will give you more information later this week.

WHAT FITNESS ACTIVITY ARE WE DOING THIS WEEK?
On Friday, we are scheduled to be in the Rock Wall. I will have a sub, Mr. Sordello who will do the 20 station Rock Wall Circuit with you. How many bones do you have in your entire body? What % of the bones in your foot are there in your entire body? You have done it once before. I am expecting you to behave and work hard. I know you can do it!!!!

EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS
-Soon, I will be posting several extra credit opportunities on my Extra Credit page on my website, but, in the meantime, there are 2 assignments available to you now.
Extra Credit #1-Print out your BMI page from the website above = 5 points toward your PE 101 grade
Extra Credit #2-Make a Mixed Fitness Music CD = 10 points toward Fitness Grade.
Follow the requirements below:
*Every song has to be middle school appropriate-no swear words and no controversial
content.
*The CD has to have AT LEAST 20 songs
*Music has to be be up-tempo and up-beat (slow songs are not good for pumping people
up while working out). Use songs that you and classmates would have fun working out to.
*Make sure the songs are from different artists
Extra Credit #3- Weight Room Poster (10 points)
As you know, the weight room is officially opening to students to work out at lunch on
Tuesday and Thursday. It would be nice to see the weight room decorated with
"Motivational Posters" with some good words of wisdom on it. A good, but cheasy
example would be "No Pain, No Gain". YOU CAN'T USE THIS ONE. Anyway, you would
take the saying and make a good poster worth hanging in the weight room for all
to see. To get full credit, please follow the parameters below:
Parameters:
1. Use construction paper sizes 12"x18" or 18"x24", any color.
2. Find a motivational saying appropriate to strength training and/or fitness. I bet
a google search will produce a lot of results. I encourage you to even come up
with your own.
3. You can write/draw the the saying or print it out on the computer. Just make sure
it can be seen from pretty far away, you want people working out in the gym to
be able to see it.
4. Decorate the poster with images, colors, etc, but don't make it too distracting and
overly crowded.
5. Put your name, period and roll call on back of poster.
6. Include your sources on the back of the poster as well.
ANNOUNCEMENTS/REMINDERS-Fill out your e-Run and e-Fitness Logs.

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE is the Word of the Week.
