Lesson Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, students will learn how to properly warm-up and perform basic strength
exercises. In addition, students will know the basic elements of a proper diet and how nutrition is
an important role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. After this lesson, students will also learn how
to create a workout program based on their individual interests and needs. As a result, students
will use this lesson as a life tool to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Also, this lesson will show
students how they can improve their physical health from doing exercises that are related to the five
components of health-related physical fitness.
Anticipatory Set:
 Introduction: Ok today we are going to be doing a series of test to test each persons level of
physical fitness.

-Before we get started there is some background information students should know:

1. Does anyone here know the 5 components of health-related physical

fitness? Answer: (Cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance,
body composition, and flexibility.) We will be performing tests that assess each of these 5
components.

2. Does anyone know how many days per week that youre supposed to be physically
active? Answer: At least 4 days a week; and at least 1 rest day per week.

3. Does anyone know the types of foods that a person needs to eat in order to maximize
their fitness program and to have a nutritious healthy diet? Protein, carbs, and fat. (For
the sake of time, each person should eat 1 gram of protein per pound of their
body weight. So, if you weigh 200 pounds, you should eat 200 grams of protein per
day. Then you would adjust the carbs and fat that are correlated to your specific goals.)
Input/Modeling/Anticipatory Set:
Before we begin our assessment, we're going to warm up and make sure the body is
loose. (Normally, I would have the class run a lap and then I would lead a series of
stretches to make sure the students are warmed up.) Do 20 jumping jacks.
Lead the class in a group stretch. Normally the stretching would be a full body
stretch that includes both dynamic and static stretches.
Show the class the proper way to perform a push-up.

Guided Practice:
After the warm-up, the testing will begin. For this particular lesson, the testing is
going to be on pull-ups, push-ups, and sit-ups. Each student will perform these exercises
and will be tested on how many repetitions they can do with good form.

Closure/Independent Practice:
 After the testing is done, the students will then create their own weekly physical
fitness program. Plan should include warm-up, stretching, and exercise.
Students will then discuss amongst themselves about what their plan entails and what
activities that they enjoy doing for fun. Students should be active at least 4 days out of
the week and should include one rest day as well. Each workout should include a warm-
up, pre/post workout stretching, muscular strength exercises (push-ups, pull-ups, and
sit-ups should be included at least once), and a cardiovascular workout of their choice (at
least 30 minutes).

Materials / Equipment:
Workout clothes
