Social Cognitivism

Social Cognitivism

Today I am going to teach how to memorize the 5 components of Fitness. Students need to know that being fit is not just going out and running a mile, running a mile is important but there are many other things that make our body fit and healthy.
First it is important to learn the mnemonic Can She Eat Fruit Cake.
Now we are going to learn what each letter stands for.
Cardio
Strength
Endurance
Flexibility
Composition
Now we need to learn the action that goes along with each component.
Cardio- move your arms back and forth like a runner.
Strength- Motion like you are doing a bench press with your arms
Endurance- an example of endurance is sit ups, so put your hands behind your head like you are going to do a situp.
Flexibility- Reach for your toes.
Composition- Find your BMI on a chart. It is important that we are within a healthy BMI range.
By teaching the components this way they are using visual, audio and kinesthetic learning. We will go over it a handful of times so it will help them learn these important components.
