That’s one question among many in the “Fit for Life” class at Hood River Middle School, a curriculum developed by health and wellness teacher Stacy Claus over the past 14 years, and now vigorously presented to students by teacher Kyle Turn- er, with assistance from parent volunteer Marge Gale. Topics include the benefits of fitness (why we should do this?), assessing one’s fitness, and, ultimately creating and implementing a personal fitness program. “Fit for Life is essentially Personal Training 101,” noted Claus, a long-time teacher in the Hood River County School District who is currently on maternity leave. “Hopefully, kids learn what they can do to stay in shape once they are out of school or no longer have a coach pre- scribing their workout for them,” Claus said. On a typical afternoon, the students can be seen outdoors recording their at-rest pulse, then running or jumping rope or doing other heart rate-raising activities, followed by checking and recording their pulse in the heart rate lab in their notebooks. The lab asks questions such as, “how long did it take your heart rate to return to the original rate of beating at rest?” and “could you improve your physical con- dition? What type of exercise should you do?” The curricu- lum lists plenty of types of exercise, along with tips for stretching, weight control, and nutrition. To answer the “how hard do I need to work” question, students can follow a chart that lists weight loss, anaerobic strength and lactate tolerance as benefits of expending higher and higher percentages of maximum heart rate for durations of an hour, 15-40 minutes, and 1-5 minutes. Students learn that the “why exercise” is all about weight maintenance, better sleep, reduction of depression and stress, better academic performance, increased muscle mass, and the social benefits. Students learn about metabo- lism, weight management, and nutrition. They also explore some of the reasons behind common health-related dis- eases such as obesity, diabetes, and eating disorders. “Students discuss healthy body image, as well as com- mon fitness myths and outside pressures from the media to confirm to a certain size,” Claus said. The model for the class is half lesson/lecture and half physical activity. “Some kids enter the quarter moaning about the written work, quizzes, and project, but, more than any other PE class I’ve ever taught, students thank us, year after year, for providing them with the tools to create a lifetime of health and wellness,” Claus said. Fit for Life is sort of like one big science experiment where an eighth grader gets to use his or her own body as the subject. “Students report that they are often surprised by how good they feel after participating in the 9-week course,” Claus said. Claus said the class “morphs into something greater each year.” The curriculum is based on a high school FFL class developed by Human Kinetics, but “there was nothing on the market appropriate specific middle school audience that needs to move!” Claus said. “Over the years, I have created a 40-page workbook that serves as a text for the class. It’s always changing. I am very thankful to have Kyle as a new PE partner. Both of us have a background in exercise science and nutrition, and that is the foundation of every lesson we teach.” H Barb Smith photo o s.c ew ern driv A11 Gorge Dog, owned by Lisa Willis Wiltsie, will celebrate its 15th anniversary in November. Located at 412 Oak Street, it’s a business plan that reflects Wiltsie’s love of dogs. “Sitting on the library lawn with my husband one day, we started commenting on how many dogs there were in Hood River,” Wiltsie said. “I have been doing retail since I was 16 — I worked for many different department stores during my career, including Front Street Sail- boards (the space prior to Big Winds). I thought I could bring a fresh idea for selling fun and functional items for dogs and novelty gift items for their humans.” People assume Gorge Dog’s products are more expensive than chain stores, but Wiltsie disagrees. Besides competitively priced mer- chandise, she also offers many specialty items not found in other stores. Take her top sellers — collars and toys. “I pride myself on our collar selection,” she said. “I have a diverse selection of collars for dogs who swim, wedding collars, special occasion collars, reflective collars and just plain fun col- lars.” She’s also constantly searching the market for indestructible dog toys. “Some have come close, but there are just those dogs who can get through anything — my dog being one of those,” she said. “We carry squeakies, rubber, ropes, leather, light up balls, Frisbees and lots of plush. We try to include large and small dogs in our collection.” The store is, of course, dog-friendly. “This is Women In Business Reserve ad space by: 14 WOMEN IN BUSINESS // JULY 2014 June 29 Photo by Kirby Neumann-Rea CHARLIE BICKFORD checks his “Fit For Life” workbook, above, while Josie Petersen, left, and fellow HRMS students raise their heart rates by jumping rope on a sunny spring morning.
