FITNESS PROJECT FILLABLE CHART |
Type the fitness project using the exact format as listed below. The grading of this project will be as follows: 10% warm-ups; 10% cool-downs; 60% fitness program; and 20% evaluation.
If you like, you may simply use this chart and type in your exercises. Make sure to erase the sample exercises given. DO NOT SIMPLY COPY AND SUBMIT WHAT IS LISTED ON THESE CHARTS. The exercises on this sample are common exercises, and you may want to use some of them, but build the program to meet your needs and interests. If you prefer to devise your own chart that is very similar to what is below, that is fine.

1. What factors did you take into consideration when designing this program?
1. Are you currently doing any parts of this program? If so, which parts?
1. If you are not currently doing this program, do you plan to start doing any parts of it? If so, which parts and when?
1. Are there any obstacles that make it difficult for you to do your program (time, motivation, obligations, etc.)?
1. What, if anything, motivates you to work-out?
NOTE: Make sure that your fitness project includes cardiorespiratory and flexibility and muscular strength/endurance workouts as well as warm-up and cool-down exercises. These workouts must meet the minimum FIT Target Zone requirements needed for weekly workouts.
