The Foods and Nutrition class left during class on Friday, March 5 to go downtown to Fitness 4-U for a field trip. Teacher, Mrs. Cheryl Timm, chose to take her class to Fitness 4-U to honor their “fitness Fridays.”
When the students first arrived, they were shown around the Fitness 4-U building. After the introductions, the class was shown demonstrations of how to use each exercising machine and how to exercise each body part properly. Each student then got to choose to do whatever exercise he or she wanted to. Some students chose to use the treadmills, while other students chose to lift weights or to do fun exercises.
While the students were at Fitness 4-U they learned what is considered a healthy limit for lifting and exercising. Students also had to dress accordingly to participate in healthy exercise strategies. They learned how it’s good to switch up a person’s exercise every once in awhile, too.
Student Cierra Jensen said, “I had a lot of fun while learning a lot.”
