SOO Physical Fitness
With an increased emphasis on technology-based learning, it’s important that students learn to respect the body as well as the mind. The Switched-On Physical Fitness course is designed not only to explore the benefits of basic nutrition, physical fitness, and healthy lifestyles, but to encourage off-computer fitness activities by requiring that students log daily activities that promote health and fitness. This one-semester course focuses on the mind-body connection and promotes healthy life choices.

In the age of technology, many of today's students choose sedentary activities as opposed to physical activities. The Switched-On Physical Fitness course illustrates the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health, with lessons that include the benefits of exercise, stretching and flexibility, cardiovascular health, weight control, and goal-setting and motivation. Through the use of a daily activity log, students are required not only to learn concepts and ideas, but to keep track of healthy physical activity and their progress.
This course is rigorous and practical, allowing students to discover the benefits of making healthy choices that include regular exercise and physical activity. Students who successfully complete this interactive course will understand the types and benefits of exercise, have the ability to set personal fitness goals, and know how to evaluate their progress. Switched-On's built-in messaging tools allow students to easily communicate challenges to their teachers with timely feedback. In addition, course customization and authoring tools give teachers the flexibility to adapt this course to meet each student's individual needs, supporting a lifetime of healthy living.
