By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Set two personal flexibility goals and two balance goals that are specific, measurable, and achievable within a two-week period.
Demonstrate at least five different flexibility activities (reaching, tumbling, stretching) and five different balance activities (line walking, head balancing, spoon and egg walk) at their chosen level of challenge.
Record their duration or performance measure for each activity in their personal fitness log with accurate entries.
Compare their Week 1 performance with their Week 2 performance to determine whether they maintained or improved their personal level.
Explain how increasing the difficulty of an activity, such as walking on a narrower line or balancing a heavier object, changes the challenge level.
