This course is designed to provide students with a foundation of aerobic fitness through walking.

Conditioning programs will emphasize development of endurance, progressive increases in caloric expenditure, and improvements in body composition. Strategies for the prevention of injuries will be addressed. Successful completion of the course will result in improved aerobic fitness, increased caloric expenditure, and the ability to construct effective walking programs for continued benefit.
