Let me start by saying this book arrived in perfect condition – like new, just as described. The delivery was lightning fast, which was a huge relief since I needed it ASAP for my PE curriculum planning.
The content is packed with practical lesson ideas and fitness concepts. I found myself constantly flagging pages for future reference during my middle school classes. The activities are easy to adapt for different age groups and skill levels.
However, I do agree with one reviewer's point about some material feeling slightly outdated. While the core fitness principles remain valid, you'll want to supplement with more current research on topics like exercise physiology.
Where this guide really shines is its structured approach to lifelong fitness education. The lesson frameworks saved me hours of planning time each week. For the price (way cheaper than my campus bookstore!), it's been an excellent value.
Bottom line: This isn't the only PE resource you'll ever need, but it's a solid foundation – especially for new teachers. Keep it on your shelf alongside newer materials for a well-rounded toolkit.
