Part II deals with movement enhancement that involves the understanding of scientific basic movement and specific movement patterns. Health education and importance of nutrition are also included. Part III consists of Exercises Program that starts from warm-up exercises to cool-down exercises. Part IV deals with Aerobic exercise activities. These activities exert low to high intensity of movement exercises accompanied with music which test student’s endurance, power, and flexibility in all action. With these variety of skills, one will be more knowledgeable as to how continued fitness be achieved throughout one’s lifetime
