Parent Role: Students will only have one homework assignment per semester, so parents have very little to monitor. Students are encouraged to develop a lifestyle of fitness and will be more likely to do so if parents are willing to engage in regular, physical activity with their children. Should a student have or develop a physical limitation that hinders their ability to participate in any fitness activity, parents are responsible to communicate that to the instructor.
