    You need first year Math and Physics in order to get into the Kinesiology program. However, when you're officially in the program, there is not a lot or even any physics or math within the course.
    Bascially, it's like a bio course, everything is memorization.

    Maybe try taking an intro course and see if it's for you?

    I heard that 140 is really easy, but 105 or 110 are good intro courses too.

    There are 3 branches of Kines:

    Active Health and Rehab
    Ergonomics
    Physio

    Be careful which one you choose, I'm in the physio one and it is shit hard! So much Organic Chem and molecular bio.
    If you want easy, take Active Health with applied human nutrition.
