Strength Builders -
Outcome A (10-30)-3
Using a type of flexible tubing, students participate
in strength building exercises as part of their warmup. Students
should be able to choose bands that allow different resistance levels.
Demonstrate the proper technique in body position to ensure safety.
Students should set a realistic number to begin each exercise and
then set personal goals to reach for each exercise before the end
of the semester. Students could keep track of how many they did
each class.

This could be set up as a circuit and performed
once a week.
Students can partner up and use each other as
additional resistance. Panty hose can also be used instead of rubber
tubing.
These
are clues that you have reached the outcomes ...
Students set realistic goals.
By keeping individual records, students can see
the improvement in their abilities.
