What is the Pennsylvania requirement for gym class?.  How much must a student take?

Unless they've changed it recently (which I really doubt), physical education is a requirement in every grade unless you have a valid physical reason for not participating.

Define "a few pounds".\n\nThe card thing, though, makes me suspicious that either you or your sensei is confused.  Depending on some other factors at the school it could mean they have very high standards indeed, or that they are the classic McDojo.\n\nIn any case, if we're talking 10-15 pounds it's kind of an unreasonable requirement.  If it's more than that, well, you're not going to lose that all at once, but your weight presents a danger to you and possibly fellow students.  In that case it's reasonable for him to require some weight loss for a promotion.\n\nThe girlfriends thing, though, is kind of an overriding issue in my mind.  Run, don't walk, to another dojo.  You probably could sue and you might even win, but it's not worth the aggravation you will undoubtedly incur.  \n\nMy guess is that the other schools in the area are probably aware of the problem and you might even find one willing cut you a break on early training requirements if you can demonstrate that you actually were (and are!) ready for that promotion you didn't get.

You should call and find out.  They are always running promotional prices and have a lot of memberships that might differ depending on where you live.  You may want to try their free 10 day pass to see if it is the gym for you.  \n\nhttp://www.24hourfitness.com

from the preschool teachers i have come across you don't need much of anything. some of the schools require a certificate, others just want a warm body. scary out there folks.

Go to a gym and get a person trainer.

Call your high school and let them know what you need.  They may require you to make a request in writing and to pay for postage.

I am almost sure that u  need a 2 or 3 YEAR agreement to get the price so... 19 x 36 = 684 probably a really good thing for someone who is in need of physical conditioning like a policeman/fireman, model\n\nus normal people just need some good cardio workouts and some a little weight training to get in shape

if you can spare some money get a personal trainer, a good on cost about 50-80 an hour. you will noticed build very quickly. if not, then it's ok too. here a tip, try to lift less weight but more reps. say you lift 140lb and you do 4 sets of 8 reps, instead do 125lbs 5 sets of 10 reps. but the main thing is always be motivated and determine. you will have to burn fat before you can build muscle. so just dig deep and you'll see improvement.

Hey, I'm glad you've chosen to take up cheerleading. It is great you have gymnastics experience, its required for high school.\n\nStunts you need are back handsprings, front handsprings, possibly back tucks, pikes, toe touches, double toe touches, herkies, spread eagles, aerials, front tucks...\n\nTo get prepared, start RUNNING! You may not think you have to run a lot but, boy, you do! Start running just around your block a couple of times, then work your way around the neighborhood. It's good to be able to run at least a mile by try outs, other girls can probably run 3 miles if they are training hard.\n\nStart lifting weights. You need lots of upper body strength. A 2 to 3 pound weight works fine, do 10 to 15 reps every other day, and lots of push-ups.\n\nStrengthen your CORE! That's one of the keys to great dancing and stunting, start doing some crunches and sit ups!\n\nGood luck in making the squad!

Most of the advise I have read says that there is no specific exericise that will affect one part of the body over another.  You need to discuss your concerns with the trainer at the gym and follow the advice you are given.  That is what you are paying for!

Stick to the basics. If you're young, under 21, eat, eat, eat! Allot of protein and allot of carbs (no sugar carbs). Then put the calories to work with very basic movements like bench press, military press, bent over rows, squats. Use low reps (6-10), heavy weight, and train only one or two body parts per day. Be consistent.

I work in the Community college gym.  I charge 15 dollars a session under the table for personal training.\n\nFor community members it's 100 dollars for a year membership.\n\nWhen joining a gym, it's always best to join the community owned ones as they are not trying to push product and sales on you constantly.  They also have much more qualified trainers.

It is a good thing for you to see what your getting, but I agree it is a ploy to strong arm you!\n\nI would find the place you like and name drop about the other gyms. Since it is done on commision, I would wait until the end of the month and at the end of the day so you have an advantage because they need to make quotas.Same for buying a car!\n\nYou should ask people what they are paying as they enter and leave the gym to get a feel for the cost. Good luck!

More than enough.. 700 should be just nice... skipping is a whole body work out... it tones up every single part of ur body..

It depends on the institution in consideration.\n\nSome may pay inspite of not having the minimum strength.\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/\n\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/

My high school still requires freshman to take the swim test and if they can't pass it, they have to keep retaking it. In fact, all freshman and sophmores have to take P.E. and pass it to graduate. In P.E., we run 3 miles a week and play sports for an hour every Mon., Wed., and Friday. They even offer weight training classes as electives for sophmores, juniors and seniors. Our school has wrestling teams, basketball, volleyball, tennis, baseball, and track teams. Most of the kids in my school are pretty fit, but a small amount of them are obese.
