High school physical education should facilitate lifelong physical activity skills for students who are about to be in charge of their personal health within the next few years. The main goal in my class is to teach students about ways they can be physically healthy outside of athletics in the future. Luckily, my school has a weight room with many different pieces of equipment for students to use. However, due to years of use and lack of funding, some of the equipment is quite literally being held together with tape. Not only does this issue cause safety to come into question, but it also deters students from attempting a new activity. Our weight room has the potential to impact my students' physical fitness knowledge and skills in a positive manner. My goal with this equipment is to introduce students to a variety of new activities that incorporate the four components of fitness—cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. By providing students with safe equipment to use in the weight room, the potential of increasing active learning drastically improves. My hope is that the students will be willing to continue implementing the skills they learn far into their future to maintain and improve their personal health. With the students investing in their own physical health, I hope that they can begin to help change the mindset of those around them when it comes to physical health.
