functional fitness charts

PHE Manitoba is pleased to once again promote a resource developed by Thompson Educational Publishing – the new Functional Fitness Charts

Eight new Fitness Chart Kits, carefully crafted for grades K to 12, allow students to become physically fit and physically literate. By targeting the five fundamental movements (squatting, lunging, pushing, pulling, and carrying), students will develop the necessary functional strength to lead healthy lives, whether they choose to compete in sport or simply be active for life.

Each kit contains 40 heavy-duty, 5-mil laminated Fitness Charts, a spiral-bound Teacher’s Manual, and accompanying online support. It all comes neatly packaged in a re-useable portfolio that makes packing up and storing easy!

In partnership with leading physical education and health experts, Thompson Educational has created Canada’s clearest path to Physical Literacy.
