100% recommended! I recently got both books and they are just what my nerdy pole heart needed ? All the explanations are complete and thorough, which lead to many 'aha' moments while reading both books. Looking forward to many more!
Brilliant book. Unbelievable really, the work that had gone into it. Love it! Life changer in all honesty. For anyone who likes to piece together physical action and love for pole and/or fitness and the mental clarity of what it is you are doing with your body and what can be done.
Amazing book. I can't put it down, even when I'm hungry for dinner. Was so excited to see it had a lot of the moves I'm currently working on, especially the starfish. This book inspired me to push on with my training. I can't wait for volume 2!
Fitness for Life is the original and best-selling high school text for promoting lifelong physical activity and healthy lifestyles that result in lifelong fitness, wellness, and health. Fitness for Life has been updated to make it better than ever. The updated edition retains the strengths of the fifth edition and has been enhanced with a test bank, an online study guide, and an array of other new features to keep teachers and students on the cutting edge.
The book's pedagogically sound format includes lesson objectives that are consistent with state and national health and fitness goals. The chapter and unit structure is consistent with a school-year structure and works with your schedule no matter what schedule you're on!
-CD-ROM and print version of teacher resources and materials--Includes worksheets, quizzes, blackline masters, and student workbooks. These can be copied from the print version or kept safe and printed out year after year from the CD-ROM.
-CD-ROM of activity and vocabulary cards--This includes 8.5- x 11-inch cards depicting activities with instructions and vocabulary cards for use in studying fitness terminology covered in the book.
-In-service DVD--Learn the program philosophy, objectives, and teaching strategies presented by Chuck Corbin. This DVD is useful for presenting your program's objectives to parents and administrators.
-Fitness for Life Web site--The student text uses icons throughout to direct students to the Web site for more information. Additional content updates will continue to be added to the Web site as new information on health and wellness emerges. The Web site also includes the two newest ancillaries:
-Online study guide--Use as a supplement to regular coursework, as an independent study for students who are unable to attend class, or as a make-up assignment for a student who missed a class. The online study guide also allows students to create online electronic portfolios that can be used as evidence of meeting physical education outcomes and standards. Access is free to teachers and students with an adoption of 25 or more copies.
-Test bank--Quickly and easily create exams from more than 500 multiple-choice, essay, and matching questions. You can easily customize the exams to meet your needs, and you can make them unique for each class period you teach.
-Fitness for Life helps students learn the value and benefits of lifelong physical activity. Just as important, they learn that physical activity can and should be fun--and thus they are more likely to become and remain active throughout their lives.
-Students learn how to create an activity and fitness plan, set individual goals, assess their status and progress, manage their time and responsibilities, and overcome barriers to regular physical activity. They learn to use technology to benefit their fitness rather than detract from it. And they experience the various components of health-related fitness, activity, and wellness through participation in the many labs and activities that are a crucial part of the Fitness for Life program.
-Fitness for Life enables students to have success, build confidence in their ability to lead an active lifestyle, and take control of their own health. And research has shown that the program is effective in promoting physically active behavior after students finish school.
-The organization of the text and the comprehensive ancillaries make teaching this course as simple as possible, with a minimum of preparation time--even for those with no experience in teaching this type of course.
-Workbooks and materials completed by students in the online study guide can be used in creating student portfolios that provide evidence of students' accomplishment of national, state, and local outcomes and standards.
