This class does not meet every week, but the student is expected to keep a daily record of what they are doing in each of the four areas. Each student will also do two aerobic runs (both are required to pass the course).
Before you do your Plan you will need to take the Real Age test to find out where you are right now. I expect each of you to eat an healthy breakfast every day. It is the key to being successful this semester.
Please print both the 52 Secrets and the Go, Slow, Whoa documents to help you understand how to eat well.
You should be doing 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise each week!
Yup, 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise is all it takes to reduce the risk of many adverse health outcomes – that’s just 2 hours and 30 minutes per week folks. And keep in mind that some activity is better then no activity! Plus, activity bouts of at least 10 minutes in duration count towards meeting the guidelines. And yes, additional benefits can be gained as the amount of physical activity increases through higher intensity, greater frequency, and/or longer duration.
