Project Fit is another method we have implemented here at Belvedere Academy to work toward fitness. After the class is done eating, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Christianson take the class out onto the playground area and students use the time to walk and talk with others. Some of our students use this time to run as well. Project Fit was implemented in the fall of 1998. This was made possible by Alegent Health and our adopt a school partners.
Students now have an area on the playground where they can work on their fitness.
Arms may be worked on through either the ladder or pole climb or the chin up bars. Stations that would strengthen the legs are the vault bar and step up bench. Abdominal strength is also a station in our fitness area with a bench provided for sit ups. We at Belvedere are serious about physical fitness. We, as teachers and a staff not only try to promote physical fitness to the students, but set the example by doing.
