On the other hand, decisions that increase health and fitness benefit everyone. This lesson encourages students to learn about and adopt healthy lifestyles.

  This lesson shows how to use GPS and mapping skills to make exercise areas in your community. These can include walking, riding, and biking trails.
• Nutrition and Fitness
