Students must buy these materials to complete the course:
To successfully complete this course, you must have access to a well-equipped weight room. Most high schools, colleges, universities, and community centers have suitable weight rooms. Many commercial health and fitness centers also offer excellent facilities. If you plan to exercise at home, your equipment should include most of the following: a weight bench, barbells, dumbbells, weight plates, and a pull-up bar. Some home gym sets work fine too—just make sure that yours has what you need to work your arms, chest, legs, and lower body, and that it has enough weight plates to allow you to progress.
