AREA 4D WELLNESS REQUIREMENT FOR GRADUATION:
There are 7 classes that currently meet the Area 4D Wellness requirement for graduation. You can take ANY one of them to meet the general education requirements for the AA degree. ANY of them can also be taken for elective credit. These are:
1. HSC1101C: Introduction to Healthful Living - 1 credit - This class is the most popular wellness course at BCC. It covers all aspects of health including disease risk factors, fitness evaluations, nutrition, flexibility, strength training, cardiovascular training, stress management, weight management, and HIV/AIDS. There are workout and lecture portions of this class, however check with the instructor for specific information concerning the class. (course outline)
2. HLP1081: Health Fitness - 2 credits - This course is required by some programs like the College Academy. It is very similar to the HSC1101C course, however it has more class time to cover the topics listed above. There are workout and lecture components of this class. (course outline)
3. PEM1131: Weight Training - 2 credits - Weight training is the 2nd most popular wellness course at BCC. Although the academic portion is very similar to HLP1081, the activity component focuses mainly on resistance training and training methods. This class is a great way to learn your way around a weight room and to get yourself on a serious workout program. (course outline)
4. PEM1181: Walk/Jog/Run - 2 credits - We have not offered this course lately at BCC. It has returned in Fall 2006. Just as weight training focused its activity on a specific type of training, this course will focus the non-lecture portion on a pedestrian exercise program. Walk/Jog/Run is the perfect course for those looking for a low-intensity exercise program. Also, this class can help the higher level runner develop a well-rounded program for road race training. (course outline)
5. PEM1141: Aerobic Movement - 2 credits - Aerobic movement has recently been brought back to BCC's Central Campus. Its academic portion consists of all the topics covered in HLP1081, but the activity portion will focus on aerobic conditioning. This is a fun, upbeat way to make sure you burn some calories! (course outline)
6. PEM1116: Slimnastics - 2 credits - Slimnastics has not been offered at BCC for several years. It will be returning next semester. This course combines all the health information that is taught in the topics listed above and applies them to the specific goal of weight (fat) loss. Many topics are covered including eating patterns, exercise plans, and stress management. It is designed for all fitness levels.

7. PEN1171: Aquatic Fitness - 2 credits - This course goes in the pool for its workouts. It is very similar to the PEM1141: Aerobic Movement class. Have fun in the pool and get in some good cardiovascular shape while you're doing it! Just like all the other courses listed here, this class meets for lectures approximately half of the time. It is a perfect course for anyone starting to exercise after an injury or rehabilitation, since the activity is very aerobic but is also extremely low impact. (course outline)
