Length: Full Year or by semester Class Period: Wednesday, period 2 (10:35 - 11:30 a.m.)

Description:

All ability levels are welcome to join us as we pursue strength, flexibility, and endurance.

UPDATE FOR SPRING SEMESTER: We have extended this class to 55 minutes in order to allow for more time for discussion.  Students will need to read weekly chapters from the book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens.”  Please plan to purchase the book before the second semester begins.

Each week we will spend the majority of our class time in active workouts - doing body weight conditioning, cardio, circuits, and walking, sometimes outdoors.  We will spend a short amount of time each week discussing topics including women’s health and wellness, habit building, basic muscle anatomy, and injury prevention techniques. We will be finishing the class every week with stretching. To maintain and enhance the progress made in class, students will be assigned conditioning exercises as homework every week.

Note:  This is a 55-minute class.  Come in your sweats ready to sweat!  You will have 30 minutes after class to freshen up before lunch. 

Tutor: Chloe Hilden is a fellow homeschooler with five kids still at home, ages 8-17.  She has had a lifelong interest in health and wellness.  While not formally trained in that area, Chloe continues to explore and grow in those pursuits daily.  As a high school athlete, she played basketball, ran and threw for track & field, and skied cross country.  In college, she found a love for rowing and continues to row for fitness at home and practice pilates and strength training on a daily basis.  She looks forward to encouraging young women to grow in strength of mind and body as well as understanding of their unique design as women.
