It’s inescapable - all degree programs through the col
lege require taking health or physical education classes.
Wh i le involvement in an ath letic program fill fi l Is these
credits, not every student may want to consider this route.
Instead of joining a sports team, which calls for hours
of practice beyond class time, some partake in regular
courses that can still better their physical condition.
Next term, student Anne Boutwell will do just that
“I will be taking the swimming class because I am
super out of shape,” Boutwell said.
According to Athletics Instructor Marilyn Wynia,
courses like swimming can impart the health benefits of
competitive sports activities, adding to it with class work
Students “may feel like they are being left behind
because they can’t do a particular sport very weft,” Wynia
said. “So, they can get into other classes that aren’t really
that skill-oriented and be able to still improve in their
physical performance or their physical body, their physi
cal being, or maybe even just their mental or psychologi
cal being.”
Wynia deems Health and Fitness for Life (HPE-295)
one of the best choices, as it is evenly composed of class
work and workout It is three credits, introduces students
to basic health concepts and includes a weight-training
hour.
Another popular class, although it is only 1 credit, is
bowling, which is offered at two levels in two separate
terms. It is one of the many available physical education
courses that are 1 credit
“If you’re not an athlete, then there are a lot of other
varieties of health and fitness classes you can get into,”
Wynia said. “It just depends on what you are interested in
... I would choose something that is maybe more fun for
you because that is something ... you will enjoy doing
and keep doing.”
