Lab Content

1.The student will learn the proper workout methods on each of the weight machines and aerobic bikes. (alternating 30 seconds of weightlifting with 30 seconds of aerobic activity on an exercise bike). 2.The student will be physically assessed for his/her individual workout program.  This will ensure a safe progress for exercising within the appropriate target heart rate. 3. Students will exercise by alternating upper and lower body exercises without rest intervals.  Beginning level 6-11 exercise stations and increasing gradually to 22 stations. 4. Students will be required to keep a workout record of their exercise program throughout the semester.  The instructor will check each students workout card after each class. 5. Students will monitor their heart rate for resting rate, maximum heart rate range, and exercise target range zone. 6. The class will begin with group warm-up and a cool down exercise program following the workout. 7. Testing: the student must complete a pre-test at the beginning of the semester and re-test every 4 weeks of the semester. 8. The super circuit is designed to bring about peak total body conditioning and fitness.
