Walk or jog a planned route for exercise
When to use this goal
For high school and transition students who want an exercise habit they can keep after school and have chosen walking or jogging. Present levels decide fit. Route safety and any activity limits are set with the family and health provider.
- Baseline
- Time 3 or more walks: minutes moving on the route, including planned rests, until the student stops or asks to stop. Check footwear and heat plans.
- Tips
- Planned rests count; leaving the route does not. Let the student pick music or a partner. A step counter or phone app can log minutes.
- Limits
- Weather and route change the data. Fitness gains are measured in physical fitness goals.
