The newly implemented Lifelong Learning Physical Education program allows De Anza College students to enroll in more than the previous limit of six P.E. classes. Faculty member Rich Schroder said that the LLPE program is available to all De Anza students to allow them “to continue to improve their strength, flexibility or cardiovascular fitness.”
Classes in the LLPE program include Cross Training, Deep Water Running, Cardiovascular and Strength Training, MultiSport Training and Lifetime Fitness Center. These non-credit classes are for students who have exceeded their eligibility for a credit P.E. class, after taking six P.E. courses.
They can only be added by an instructor who is teaching one of the regular classes. Before the fall quarter began this year, this program was only for older adult classes; now the LLPE system is open for all who wish to participate.
“I think it’s great. I’m really athletic and it’s good to know that I don’t have a limit for my physical activity on campus,” said Gina Hum, a De Anza student.
