Austin,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very accurate and I agree with your opinions on physical activity. Making the choice to become physically active and coming up with an activity plan is the best way to stay motivated and keep up with a physical activity plan. Thanks for sharing! :)
I really liked the article that you found! It's obvious to us health educators, that one needs at least 10 minutes of aerobic activity to get much out of it. This is an article that you could print out for your students and discuss. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with your views on physical education and the important role they play in everyone's daily life. It is important to participate in physical activity and to not only teach it appropriately to our future students, but pass on the love of physical activity to our children as well. With obesity rates rising it is important that we reverse this as soon as possible. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAustin, I agree that making the decision is one of the most important aspects to getting started! Students need to feel confident enough to make the change to participate. I am also glad you mentioned that there are several ways to meet the aerobic activity goals. Everybody works in different ways, and as an educator it is important that we acknowledge that to meet all of our students needs.
