Tools for reviewing progress - video 2
Video transcript
Student:
My arms are very weak I've always found that, quite weak. Now I can do things and even in the gym I can do a chest press, which I could never do before. I can definitely carry things and use more muscles in the arms, certainly. I'm most concerned about circulation because I know that both my mother and her brother both died because of such very poor circulation in their legs. So I do not want to have circulation problems so, therefore, I want to just keep moving. So it's not so much improving year to year, but not getting worse year by year.

Think about how you would continue a discussion with this learner to arrive at some achievable, fitness-related targets that she could work towards in the short- to medium-term. Think about what questions you would need to ask her. Consider how you might use a camcorder in your sessions to help review progress and capture achievement.
A visually-impaired learner describes what motivates her to come to her exercise class and what she has gained from it. Listen carefully: what words and phrases does she use to describe the progress she has made in relation to her exercise regime, and how does she describe her personal gains, or the wider benefits of learning?
