P403 Workout Video

Main Project of the Year

In many of the classes at IUPUI, you learn new skills that will apply to your future career. P403, taught by Professor Mary Yoke, is one of those courses. One of the most exciting parts of the class was when we created a workout video for a specific age range and history of working out. It gave us the opportunity to work as a group to create an appropriate workout that utilized the different aspects of what we had learned in class throughout the year. We had to make sure that the base level workout was applicable to someone in the 60+ year range who did not have a history of strenuous physical activity, and then on top of the base level workout, we had to create progressions and regressions for each of the individual exercises. While this may not seem like a difficult task, the project utilized everything from different aspects of anatomy to healthcare principles. Many people do not realize the extent healthcare workers have to go to create proper exercise plans for their patients, as there are multiple moving parts and no one person is the same.
