Achievement Targets:
I want the students to learn what it is like to do all upper body muscular endurance.
Special Planning/Preparations (i.e. safety concerns, etc.): We need to make sure we have the appropriate weight so we are not
straining ourselves. We need to make sure we are properly warmed up so we do not pull a muscle.
Procedures
Intro-Activity: I will gather the class to discuss what
the plans of the day will be.

Time
5 min

Warm-up: I will have the class jog 2 laps then we will 10 min
do static stretches, and partner stretching to stretch our
arms and legs. Mainly arms since that will be my
focus for today.
Rules: We will partner up and go into the free weights
or circuit room. Well will be doing 4 different lifts
working biceps, triceps, chest, and some shoulders.
