This revised activity guide provides a comprehensive collection of health-related physical fitness activities—more than 50—that cover aerobic fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. The new edition offers exciting, teacher-tested activities to help rejuvenate existing programs or develop new programs that encourage lifelong participation in health-related physical activity.

The Middle and High School Level Activity Guide includes four new chapters on activities that incorporate components of health-related fitness and emphasize lifetime physical activities such as climbing stairs, gardening, dancing, housework, and adventure pursuits. This material also is fully compatible with the award-winning Fitness for Life student text by Charles B. Corbin and Ruth Lindsey (now in its fifth edition and available from Human Kinetics).

In addition, the Middle and High School Level Activity Guide comes with a CD-ROM containing PDF versions of numerous reproducibles, including posters, worksheets, station signs, flash cards, and other things to make the teacher's job easier and the activities more fun.

The activity guide helps teachers do the following:
- Meet the specific needs of the age groups they are teaching
- Benefit from the real-world experience and fresh ideas of seasoned physical educators
- Assist students in making informed health-related physical fitness choices beyond the classroom setting

Designed to stand alone or be used in conjunction with Physical Education for Lifelong Fitness: The Physical Best Teacher's Guide, Second Edition, this cutting-edge resources will enliven programs, save time, and help teachers motivate students to become fit for life.
