The course emphasizes proper technique for resistance training, knowledge of muscles, fitness vocabulary and a variety of aerobic activities that will improve cardiovascular endurance. Students will work in the weight room a minimum of 3 days per week and will be required to write an individualized workout plan.

Dress Code: All students will be required to wear the red Mundelein High School PE shirt that can be purchased from the school store for $5.00. All students are required to wear red, gray, black or white shorts or sweat pants. Shorts that are worn must be appropriate length. Students are to wear socks and have properly tied shoes designed to be worn for running activities. Outerwear should be in the approved school colors and be designed for gym activities in mind. No hats are allowed. No vulgar, suggestive, or inappropriate design may be on the clothing (i.e. drug, alcohol, sexual content, etc.) Students not in appropriate attire will be deducted appropriate credit for that day which can result in grade reduction and or disciplinary action.

PE Make-Ups: Students have the opportunity to make up missed classes on Thursday mornings during “Late Start Days”. On those days, students report to the main gym. During that time (starting at 7:45 am) the student will meet the instructor conducting the Make-Up and follow his/her instructions pertaining to the activities for that day. To make up any excused absence or non–dress, a student must participate for the entire 60 minute time frame. Failure to follow the teacher’s directions will result in a missed opportunity for that Make-Up. A schedule will be posted in the locker room showing the dates/activities of each Make-Up.
