Description: All ability levels are
welcome to join us as we pursue strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Each week we will spend the majority of our class time in active
workouts - doing body weight conditioning, cardio, circuits, and
walking/jogging, sometimes outdoors. We will spend a short amount of
time each week discussing topics including health and wellness, habit
building, and basic muscle anatomy. Come ready to sweat!
[Optional] To maintain and enhance the progress made in class, students
will be assigned exercises as homework every week using the Habit Nest
Bodyweight Home Workout Journal (see below). This book is recommended
for any student planning to extend their workouts at home and for high
school students. The at-home workouts in addition to a full year of
Girls’ Fitness class would count as ¼ credit for high school.
Note: This is a 45-minute class. You have 30
minutes before class to change and will have 15 minutes after class to freshen up.
Tutor:
Chloe Hilden is a fellow homeschooler with five kids
ages 9-18. She has had a lifelong interest in health and wellness. While
not formally trained in that area, Chloe continues to explore and grow
in those pursuits daily. As a high school athlete, she played
basketball, ran and threw for track & field, and skied cross country. In
college, she found a love for rowing and continues to row for fitness at
home and practice pilates and strength training on a daily basis. She
looks forward to encouraging young women to grow in strength of mind and
body as well as understanding of their unique design as women.
