Implementing Health and Fitness Trend to Improve Community/Organization's Health

This paper will be a final synthesis of the implementation of a current health and fitness trend (generally in the form of an exercise or educational program) with the goal of improving the health and fitness of an organization or a community.

• How the implementation of your idea using the current trend/issue will benefit this community/organization (be sure to discuss the improvements to their health and fitness and support it with current literature)
• Describe how your idea using this current trend/issue will be (or has been) implemented (For this, you may want to begin with a description of the current state of the organization/community, and their current practices).
