Lesson Plan

Strength Routine Outline

Students will complete a sequenced 25-minute strength routine to practice proper form, monitor effort, and reflect on technique. Goals include safe execution of body-weight exercises and self-awareness through guided prompts.

Building foundational strength with attention to form reduces injury risk and fosters self-monitoring skills. Reflection promotes confidence and ownership of physical fitness.

Move Demonstrations

Welcome! Today we'll review each body-weight exercise you'll practice. Use these visuals to understand proper form cues before you begin your routine. Remind the student to ask questions if anything is unclear.

Push-Ups

Explain each bullet and demonstrate slowly. Emphasize core engagement and elbow positioning. Watch the student try one rep and correct cues.

Squats

Demonstrate squat depth and hip hinge. Remind the student to keep chest up and drive through heels. Offer a mini drill: squat to a chair height.

Plank

Show a side-view plank. Stress alignment and breathing. If hips drop, coach a slight tuck. Time a 15s hold first, then build to 30s.

Glute Bridges

Demonstrate lift and controlled descent. Emphasize squeezing at the top. Cue the student to press through heels and keep ribs down.
