pe_final_assignment.docxMany people struggle with being their "ideal weight" or having their "dream body". When looking at our country today, we have more people on diets than ever before, we also have more people as members of fitness clubs than ever before. What many people need to realize is that fitness is a life changing decision. Fitness has to become a habit, it is not something you can do for a few weeks and then take 2 months off and expect to look the same and have the same benefits. Living an active life is a habit. If one doesn't make time for their personal fitness they will be so far away from their fitness goals, they will feel too overwhelmed to try to get back into shape. Many people don't know where to start, that is where the Personal Fitness Team (you students!) can help.
The job of the Personal Fitness Team is to design a fitness program to help the person you choose begin an effective fitness life style. You will need to develop a workout plan, a diet, and find a lifelong recreation activity that will fit your client and their personal goals and interests.
Your task for this project is to develop a fitness program for the client below.
You will be filling all 3 roles in a Personal Fitness Team. You will become an expert in their area. The focus of the team is to design a program to get their client in shape and "pitch" their program to the client. My hope is, that while researching and designing a program for the client you have selected, you will also learn valuable information that you can apply to your own life and your own workout plan.
