Physical Education

       iPads are being used for educational purposes but it also can be used for physical fitness purposes. There are many apps that you can find in the app store about fitness and health. A couple of them are:
Fitness Class, Fitness Free HD, and HK Now. Those are a couple of apps that you can use.
      Fitness Class is an app that you can look at workout videos, that are 10-90mins long- depending on the exercise video. You can chose between 230 videos, but you need WiFi or 3G to watch them. You can use this app within Physical Education class by letting the athletes do this workout besides working out in the weight room all the time. You can get a projector screen and project the video onto there and follow the workout. It'll be great to change up things instead of doing the same things over again in gym class.
      Fitness Free HD is another app that would be great to use within Physical Educational purposes. You can choose from many pictures, instead of videos, that give you instructions and do the workout from the picture you choose. You can also make up your own workout to share with the class. This is another great app that is great to use in gym class.
     HK Now is another fitness app that will be great for gym class. This apps helps you stay up to date with the current news and trends of physical workouts. There are also categories that you can choose from. A couple of the categories are: strength, coaching, and also physical education. Another thing this app is great for, is for the coaches to give the athletes advices and it gives coaching tips- that way the coaches can get new ideas to do at practice.
So in the end there are many ways to use the iPad, not just for educational purposes, but Physical Education purposes as well. The iPad is great for everything.
