Lesson Plan

Fit & Fab Lesson Plan

Students will engage in a 40-minute small-group circuit rotating through cardio, strength, and flexibility stations to build balanced fitness habits, practice proper technique, and reflect on their performance.

This lesson builds core fitness skills, promotes healthy activity routines, and develops self­awareness and goal­setting in 7th graders. Varied stations keep students motivated and accommodate different strengths.

3-Station Fitness Circuit

Introduce the circuit: explain the three stations (Cardio, Strength, Flexibility) and how students will rotate. Emphasize teamwork, staying on task, and listening for the chime.

Station 1: Cardio

Demonstrate proper jump-rope technique (wrists rotating, land softly) and high-knee form (hips up, core engaged). Encourage steady breathing through both exercises.

Station 2: Strength

Model a proper squat (knees over toes, chest up), a lunge (vertical shin, straight back), and a plank-style push-up (core tight). Remind students to pause and reset if form breaks down.

Station 3: Flexibility

Lead each stretch slowly, cue students to breathe deeply. For Downward Dog, demonstrate pressing through heels and lengthening spine.

Rotation & Timing

Explain the rotation procedure: identify chime, move quickly but safely, take brief water breaks. Encourage students to line up quietly at their next station.
