| An Innovative Mechanism for Youth Fitness and Getting Fit |
| Research has indicated that physical fitness is beneficial to lifelong wellness. Teach
yourself, your students, and individuals of all ages creative and innovative ways to
improve overall health and physical fitness with the use of Thera-band products. This
is your chance to experiment with a potentially new product for your program, and to
test your level of strength and stamina. The initial presentation will include a program
review from the design and implementation of an elementary physical fitness unit.
The second part of the presentation is a "hands-on" application of various products
that can be used not only in the elementary curriculum but across all age groups. Try it and get fit! |
