All seventh and eight grade students are required to participate in the program. Sixth graders are introduced to the program in their second semester at Whitewater.<br>Every six weeks a new weight training class begins with one week of safety and technique instruction. Students receive written weight training guidelines which are used as study notes. The BFS Safety video is shown to every class followed by demonstrations of lifting and spotting techniques. Safety and proper technique are emphasized repeatedly in Whitewater s weight training program.<br>One group of students lifts weights three days per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and does aerobic training the other two days (Tuesday and Thursday). A second group has aerobics three days and lifts weights the remaining two days. The groups are developed through the students choice of emphasis. Students must use a weight that allows them to perform their repetitions with perfect technique. High repetition training is the method of exercise used in the program. Instructions on proper lifting and spotting techniques are reviewed daily in class.<br>There is an effort to incorporate other subject areas into weight training. Anatomy and physiology are key subjects because the students can learn the names and locations of the muscles and how they adapt to stress. Physics is related to weight training because of gravity and inertia. Geometry and general math are associated with weight training through joint and lifting angles and calculation of percentages.<br><br>The Athletes and <br>Their Goals<br><br>Several Whitewater athletes have begun arriving before school starts, to lift weights under the watchful eyes of Coach Vena, demonstrating a high level of commit
