Step 2: Review the RubricReview the Touchstone rubric below in Section B to see how you will be graded.
Step 3: Complete Parts 1–3 of the TemplatePart 1: Your Fitness-Based SMART GoalDevelop a SMART goal for yourself based on improving a health-related or skill-related component of fitness through physical activity or exercise. Describe which health-related or skill-related component(s) your goal best fits.
Discuss your current fitness level and experience (related to your SMART goal) and describe why this SMART goal is important to you.
Part 2: Creating a Personalized Fitness PlanUse the three provided tables to design a week of physical activity/exercise that is appropriate for your current fitness level and SMART goal and applies the FITT principle to cardiovascular training, resistance training, and flexibility/mobility training.
Part 3: Maintaining and Assessing Personal ProgressDescribe an anticipated barrier and strategy to overcome said barrier in working toward your SMART goal.
Describe one idea for progressing your fitness program (over the course of a few weeks or months) to continue progress toward your SMART goal.
