^^^They work well Seriously, my kids did this with Florida Virtual. They designed workout schedules that met the requirements of the school and had us, the parents, sign off them as they were completed. They spoke over the phone and by e-mail with a fitness coach. Programs included aerobic, stretching, and weight lifting components. Much was done individually, but there were requirements for group participation which could be fulfilled by team sport activities. The fitness courses also had an online reading component complete with quizzes–topics included anything from basic nutrition and weight management to heart health. My D thought one of her written fitness finals was more difficult than her AP finals. I thought the online fitness prepared them to think about fitness realistically, like they’ll have to do without mandatory PE.
