Since we are stewards of the bodies that God has graciously given us we will explore the importance of exercise, its benefits, how to plan a fitness program, avoid misconceptions, and create routines for overall fitness.

Research, group assignments, projects, and activities will help students in understanding and demonstrating the variety of benefits in physical activities.
