Importance of Physical Activity
Physical activity is a very important part of everyone's day. Physical activity keeps us up and moving and in good shape so that we can reverse the affects of health issues. With the rising obesity rates in the United States it is adamant that we support and give fun and enjoyable ways to stay physically active. This can be anything from taking your dog out for a walk to going out and playing a pick up game of basketball. There are so many things that we can do to stay active and by getting everyone active for a little bit each day will benefit all of us. Physical activity must not be taken for granted and is something that we need to stay on top of on a daily basis.

Evan, I completely agree with you about how important it is to stay physically active! So many people don't realize how easy and fun it can be to stay physically active. Like you said, walking your dog is an easy way to get some exercise, as well as just walking to class instead of driving. Hopefully as future physical educators we can help pass along our views!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. Simple changes can make the largest difference in mood, weight, self-esteem, and much more. America is in crisis. Obesity and diabetes are at an all-time high, however the motivation to make a change is not seen. One reason may be that those individuals think that they are "too far gone". Small steps is all it takes to change one's life. Thanks for sharing!
