[edit] Mission statement

A statement of what we strive to achieve from this course.

[edit] Subdivisions and departments

Like divisions, subdivisions and departments are pages in the Topic namespace, and their names start with the "Topic:" prefix. Individual departments can be used by multiple schools. Schools that use (link to) the same department should cooperate to develop the department. Subdivisions are used by large divisions to help organize related departments. Not all divisions have subdivisions. If you need a subdivision in your division, you can use the Template:Subdivision boilerplate template to start a subdivision.

[edit] Topic:Cardiovascular fitness

This Department will develop learning resources about the fundamentals of aerobic and anaerobic exercise. It will consist of information on the process of exercise on a cellular level, and contain a number of activities within the lesson.

[edit] Topic:The anatomy of fitness

So... what exercises do I need to in order to tone up specific areas? This is referred to as a "Targeted" exercise, and this chapter will cover the human muscular system, and go into detail on the various exercises.

[edit] Topic:Personal training

Now we move onto the Personal Training aspect. Is there anything in particular you'd like to train for? Running a marathon? That requires endurance. Weightlifting? That requires strength. Even dancing? It requires flexibility and agility. This chapter will go into detail on the various ways to train.
