"Physical Fitness Matters" is a project developed by Rozene to improve fitness curriculum at Greely Middle School. The four-component program reinforces the district's standards to educate students on proper exercise techniques and provide knowledge for students to design personal workouts to establish a pattern of healthy lifelong fitness. Rozene believes that physically-fit students are more attentive in class, have positive body images, and have fewer health concerns. Every Wednesday will be dedicated to fitness education and personal goal setting. Rozene will engage students using an aerobic and agility fitness workout that incorporates technology and music. Circuit training will teach proper exercises. Every two minutes, students will rotate stations that focus on one of the five-targeted areas of fitness: flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, agility, muscular strength, and muscular endurance. Eighth-grade students will be offered Fitness Friday to encourage achievement of personal fitness goals. The final component of "Physical Fitness Matters" is an after-school fitness program focusing on students not involved in sports. Rozene lives in Cumberland.
