Image Source (One of my favorite Disney characters) While I found most both of these articles long, boring, and confusing, They did bring up a good class discussion on how schools could help their students be more active. Lets face it, we are all sitting all the time, and based on the second article its aging us. In school, activities in gym are limited and I am NOT looking forward to taking it. But what if we had more options? What if we had more choice in what we do? There are so many other ways to stay active and keep from aging that is not offered in gym. There's swimming, cycling, hiking, walking, ice/rollerskating, even trampolines. If schools were to offer more of this, I think we would have much happier and healthier students. Taking a day to go outside and walk on trails on a nice day instead of running in a circle inside a gym. Instead of going to see a movie for a field trip, go to a trampoline park. If being active is seen as fun, not hard and boring, kids will love it!! They won't even realize how much good they are doing for themselves.
