Introduction/Problem:
As American become more sedentary in their daily lives, weight gain and obesity have become their greatest health hazards. There are 3 keys to maintaining a healthy body and weight. 1. Be nutritionally sound...well-balanced, low-fat diet. 2. The body must remain physically active. 3. There are no short-term solutions only...long-term and lifestyle changes. Today we are working on learning to maintain a moderate level of physical activity and why it is important to our health.

Procedures:
TTW begin the lesson immediately upon arrival and before students are "seated" in exercise spots. TSW follow the powerpoint as a guide from one exercise to the next. Each will last for 25 seconds. TSW listen to the music as they exercise and learn healthy lifestyle tips. TSW increase heart rate and improve flexibility, muscle strength and endurance.

Student Product/Work:
CFU: What do you think the saying "use it or lose it" means when we are talking about our bodies? Put your hand on your chest and what do you feel? Is it beating fast or slow? What does that mean? Can smoking and alcohol make it difficult to breath when you exercise? Why? What is your favorite physical activity? Is physical activity always sports and exercises?
