Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read suggested textbook, Water Exercise, regarding acquiring appropriate equipment for water exercise fitness. Students shall be prepared to discuss how to inspect, determine, and internalize personal modifications based on injuries or desired performance outcome. 2. Visit www.turnstep.com. Read 6 different aquatic workouts and be prepared to discuss in class. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Visit www.turnstep.com. Choose 6 different aquatic workouts that vary in goals, equipment usage, and complexity. Use these samples, along with assigned reading and class participation, to create a one hour workout, listing components of the workout, goal of each component, specific exercises, and contraindications to each movement. Address contraindications for a 100% healthy student and a student in need of a knee replacement. Turn in a three to five page workout description, including copies of the six articles. 2. In a group, formulate and document a 50 minute, 10-15 movement workout composed of exercises designed to target one muscle group or achieve one effect (ex. hamstrings, intense cardio, core conditioning, relaxation).
