Assignment: Flexibility Plan

Purpose

This assignment will help you complete your flexibility plan.

Directions

For this assignment, you must start with SMART Goals. All goals should be flexibility or low back health goals, and at least one goal must be linked to your pretest score. Do not include any pretest score other than your flexibility score.

A good way to determine whether or not you have written a SMART goal is to ask yourself a few questions. For each goal you write, ask yourself: is it Specific? Is it Measurable? Is it Attainable? Is it Realistic? Is it Timeframe specific?

The last question (T) is easy to answer because your current SMART Goals must describe what you hope to accomplish in this course. Once you have developed your goals, move on to your FITT plan. You must include a minimum of two upper body stretches and two lower body stretches: you can add more if you like.

Save the document with your answers and upload it to the course.
