Coach Harrell
Welcome
This is a fitness course in which you will learn the skills needed to assess and plan a personal wellness program. During this course, you will learn a lot about yourself and develop a plan to be "Fit For Life".
We will use unique and interactive lessons, along with weekly workouts to develop student knowledge and participation in health related fitness activities. You will learn about your personal fitness levels, how to set fitness, nutrition, and wellness goals and how to develop an activity plan to accomplish those goals.
