As a P.E. Teacher my goal is to emphasize fitness not only in my P.E. classes but also life in general. Over the many years I have been a Physical Educator I have noticed a couple of changes to my total population of students’ fitness levels. Through my “P.E. Ponderings” I hope to touch on a few trends that hopefully will help you in the choices you advocate for your own children that I have the pleasure of teaching.
One of the issues that I bring up to my students is “just go outside and you will be active.” I tell them by going outside, they will naturally be more active. As it turns out, this has been studied and I was lucky enough to happen on this article and it made sense. Hopefully it makes sense to you too.
Happy health to all of you!
