The INDS 1120 course was created by A.J. Stephen during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It officially launched in the Winter of 2022 and was delivered fully online with one clear goal: to make learning about movement, physical fitness, and exercise simple, fun, and easy for anyone to understand and apply to their own life.

Since then, the course has been updated and improved with help from professors Connor Dalton and Sarah Fraser, who brought new ideas and fresh energy to make the student experience even better.

This course and this textbook are designed to help you:

  • Understand how the body moves
  • Learn how to make lasting improvements to your fitness
  • Build effective workout plans
  • Explore whether a future in Kinesiology, Fitness or Health Promotion is the right fit for you

You don’t need a science background or special skills to succeed in this course. All you need is curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to learn how movement can improve health, performance, and quality of life.
