Day 8: Action Plan
Goal:
Students will evaluate their own activity levels and think of way to bring more movement into their everyday life.
Steps:
- Warm-up: If possible, work with the physical education teacher and administer a fitness test. Otherwise, have students do jumping jacks and take their pulse.
- Use the following chart to measure resting and active pulse rates: http://www.webmd.com/hw/heart_disease/hw233473.asp Do students' pulse rates fall into normal range? How does pulse rate speak to a person's health and level of fitness?
- Afterwards, ask students to rate their daily activity level using these categories: Sedentary, Moderate Activity, Active, or Very Active.
- Ask students to define what a sedentary lifestyle means. What might moderate activity look like?
- Go to any of the following websites to calculate the amount of calories burned during various activities:
Explain to students that all of these websites take into account weight and the amount of time for a particular activity.
- Reflect: In groups, have students brainstorm 10 ways to increase their activity level. These might be actual exercises or small ways they can change their routines, like not using the remote to turn a channel or walking up stairs instead of taking the elevator.
