 Explain the action and function/purpose of each of the muscles that were drawn
 Demonstrate ways of working the muscle using body weight or other resources not found in the weight room
 Exercises must have modifications for low-high weight and/or intensity and you must explain the purpose of the exercises (i.e. muscular endurance, muscular strength, toning, bulk etc.)
 Research the kinds of stretches that may be helpful
 Indicate the safety precautions
