LESSON OVERVIEW
Summary of the task, challenge, investigation, career-related scenario, problem, or community link.
The idea of being Physically Fit has changed over time. There are five components to Fitness; Cardio, Flexibility, Muscular Strength, Body Composition, and Muscular
Endurance. In this Unit of Modern Living, students will continue their personal Fitness Plan by expanding and improving their overall health. The ratio to fat that is part
of the human body is important in this f=generation because of the growing problem with obesity. If students can develop at this age an idea of how to exercise and the
desire to exercise, the obesity will decrease across this Nation.
Hook for the week unit or supplemental resources used throughout the week. (PBL scenarios, video clips, websites, literature)
MOTIVATOR
In this Unit, students will be improving their fitness components by experiencing phases of exercise that includes movement, dance and rhythm, strength, and agility.
The major idea is to increase blood circulation throughout the body. By watching what we put in our body and making sure we understand how important exercise is,
our ratio to fat will decrease while our energy will increase.
The teacher will show the students a candy bar, have them think of when the last time they may have experienced eating one. Explain a candy bar has enough energy to
lift an average size adult 1,200 feet up in the air-that is almost 1 mile. Listen that’s more energy than a stick of dynamite! Throughout this Unit we will learn how energy
is used to move us and how it is broken down in our bodies. Now lets begin our adventure!

healthy lifestyle.
Discuss why it is necessary for one to be physically fit:
If you are physically fit, you have well-conditioned cardiovascular,
respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems in order to perform
physically demanding activities such as exercise, sports, or manual
work. You also have low body fat, which means your weight is
reasonable with your height, gender, and age. This means you pay
strict attention to your diet by eating low-fat foods rich in fiber,
potassium, carbohydrates, and calcium. You do not tire easily after
strenuous activity because you get sufficient rest. Your immune
system stays strong against infection so you rarely if ever get sick.
