The scenery is good in spring, and it is the right time to lose fat. Recently, many colleges and universities in Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei and other places have opened "fat loss courses". Because of the remarkable teaching effect, these classes have become "star classes" on campus.

Recently, "weight management" has become a hot topic of concern in the whole society. With the improvement of people's living standards, the problem of excess weight has become increasingly prominent, which has become a problem for many people. Especially for teenagers, being overweight brings a lot of inconvenience to their life and study, and affects their physical and mental health. Colleges and universities have integrated weight management into teaching activities and launched well-designed fat loss courses, which reflects the educational concept of adhering to health first and is also a useful exploration of physical education teaching reform.

Good ideas need to be implemented effectively and accurately. How to engage students in the early stages of the course? This is inseparable from the blessing of "credits". How can the "fat loss class" be better scientifically promoted? This requires the development of training content that meets the characteristics of students, and also needs to carry out daily follow-up, process evaluation, and periodic summary to ensure that the teaching objectives are achieved. It is gratifying that some schools have made a good attempt to have professional teachers develop the curriculum, and let students be equipped with professional equipment such as oximeters and heart rate belts during class, so as to better assess students' physical functions and adjust the teaching content in time.

Physical education teaching innovation is a system engineering. As the saying goes, a good body should "keep your mouth shut and open your legs". If you have a good balance between eating and moving, you are more likely to get in shape. The "fat loss class" is not a one-sided classroom teaching. To make scientific fat loss effective, it is indispensable to link teaching, logistics, medical affairs and other aspects. The canteen can launch a "fat loss package", and the school doctor should do a good job in monitoring the students' bodies and providing nutritional guidance, so that students can eat scientifically, eat healthy and nutritious while training scientifically, stay away from unhealthy eating habits, and do not hold back the "fat loss plan".

The popularity of the course with students shows that the teaching reform has been a success. However, the "fat loss course" that was robbed in seconds is only a starting point, and it is of great significance to improve the physical health level of students, and the reform of physical education curriculum has a long way to go. Colleges and universities can summarize successful experiences in a timely manner, draw inferences from one another, and develop more characteristic physical education courses suitable for different student groups according to students' physical characteristics, interests and hobbies, and more sports interest courses, so that more students can move and better lay a foundation for their healthy growth.

It should also be noted that any innovation in the physical education curriculum needs to avoid "a gust of wind". This requires adhering to systematic thinking and long-term thinking, based on the law of student growth, scientifically designing the curriculum, and integrating the curriculum into the campus life of students, so that every college student can gain something on campus and have a strong physique.

In addition to teaching and educating people, colleges and universities should also actively assume social responsibilities. In the future, will colleges and universities have the conditions to popularize the "fat loss course" in the school to the society and provide a "campus program" for the masses to exercise scientifically? This new topic deserves further exploration in order to make the results of teaching reform in colleges and universities more effective.
