Make-up for Fitness Assignments is difficult.

We are no longer in remote learning and points are intended to be earned by participating in class, not through the submissions of assignments that are easier to fake than to verify.

Academically, in order to qualify for Fitness (PE) credit towards graduation the class must address and attempt to assess specific state guidelines. Guidelines are assigned for all classes, but unlike math or language arts where evidence of performance can be documented using knowledge tests, the standards for fitness require physical movement and interaction with others, and actual evidence for these is not something that can simply be written or typed.

ALL submissions must have the date either referenced visually in the data or verbally.

I know some people have concerns about being asked to take video of themselves working out. This is an acceptable option though it is not my preference. If you do want to utilize video of your workout:

You need to be identifiable
Dress for the image you are comfortable presenting; for example sweatpants, hoodies, and baggy clothes allow the work you are doing to be seen without your body really being seen
Use time lapse video (not slo-mo)
If you are running and showing the route instead of you, make sure you talk (to the camera) so there is evidence that you did the work not just passed it off

The better option is to utilize one of the many available free fitness tracking apps that you will submit at screenshot of the data at the end of the work combined with a selfie. Not every one of them are appropriate for every Fitness Assignment, but most are. Please be aware that all of these have free versions though not all of these apps have been tested and some of them have paid elements to them that are not required. Also note that links have not been provided for all apps because iPhone and Android users need different links.

Walking / Running / Cycling apps (1st two show date & time on screenshot, others in no particular order):
- Nike Run Club (https://www.nike.com/nrc-app) - preferred: shows date & time
- Altimeter Mountain GPS Tracker (https://altimeter.us/#app) - preferred: shows date & time
- Aisics RunKeeper (https://runkeeper.com/cms/)
- Adidas Running by Runtastic (https://www.runtastic.com/)
- UnderArmour MapMyRun (https://www.mapmyrun.com/app)
  - Also consider UnderArmour MyFitnessPal (https://www.myfitnesspal.com/) to help connect nutrition & fitness goals - also works with other fitness apps
- Strava (https://www.strava.com/features)
- Fitness22 Running Distance Tracker (https://fitness22.com/our-apps/)
- Couch to 5K App (http://www.c25k.com/ - will have to scroll down to the titled C25K Apps below the other language links)

Home Gym workouts

Cardio on Treadmill / elliptical / etc.
- There are no apps specifically designed to provide evidence of your cardiorespiratory work on a stationary device
- Selfie + display data:
  - If your training equipment has a Heart Rate Monitor, pictures of the display with time, distance, & HR (at various points) will work well
  - If you have access to a device / an app that includes heart rate monitoring, that can be used in combination with the pictures of the display
- Time lapse video can also be used in place of the HR data
Resistance apps
- There are no apps specifically designed to provide evidence of your work performing resistance training
- If you have access to a device / an app that includes heart rate monitoring, that can be used as even resistance training should result in increases in heartrate, but time-lapse video would still be required
Flexibility apps
- There are no apps specifically designed to provide evidence of your work performing flexibility training
- Heart rate tracking will not work for flexibility
- This one will require time-lapse video to get full points.

There are additional fitness apps that include continuous heart rate monitoring that would also provide sufficient evidence for the visual requirement, but these usually require the purchase of a linked heart rate monitor, a watch with HR monitor, or other separately purchased device and thus are not shared here due to costs.
