Getting Started with Our Family Fitness Homeschool Curriculum

Family Fitness by Bethany Learn is a series of lessons for parents to read and use as they determine best. These homeschool fitness lessons and videos teach children the importance of movement in keeping the muscles healthy. Family Fitness also show the importance of setting goals and patterns that are healthy, such as allowing time for a walk, a bike ride, or some other physical activity that can be done independently or together as a family. Videos along with printouts help family members work together in areas such as posture, the core muscles, exercise, and more. Family Fitness lessons are best used sequentially at first in order to build an understanding of the major topics, but each video and lesson may be reviewed individually as needed throughout the course.

Module 1 – Week 1:

Goal Setting, Scheduling and Prioritizing Movement

Teaching: Discuss “time” with your students.

The way we use our time has a huge effect on our bodies and health. One of the main principles of fitness is: “Form follows Function.” Whatever you do the most will win. Slouch a lot, and you’ll look slouchy. Move a lot, and you’ll look like you move. But it’s not really about looks, is it?

This whole course will keep circling back to the TRUTH that our choices affect our health and fitness at every level from your deepest core outward. For starters, let’s be sure that we have TIME to move.

What are the most important things to spend time doing?
What things take a long time and happen slowly? (i.e., waiting for a birthday, taking a long walk)
What kind of things happen fast? (i.e., the birthday itself, one jump in the air)
Why should we spend time moving?
What do you think happens if we don’t move our bodies?
Use this week’s printouts to make time for fitness.
