What's New?

Here I will add an entry whenever I make an update to my web site. Where appropriate, I'll include a link to the change.
As a new school year comes upon you , it is imperative that (we) should investigate ways to exploit P.E. as a public relation tool. In this way, we will calm the naysayers, introduce more teachers to the NEW P.E., and incorporate ways to win over the parents , administration ,community and School Board.
Good luck and please continue to be the best you can be and have a GREAT YEAR !
This year , I would like to clamor the cry for what is called the "Perfect Storm ". This means its a great time to combine the energy crisis and family into one unit. Find ways to include activities around the house and neighborhood to a lifetime of fitness. It takes the form of utilizing homemade equipment and optional ways to keep MOVING. It doesn't matter what type of wheels from a bike to a scooterboard. or , use the house and garden to emply the family to work together.
There is a podcast that deals with this topic. Please click on the blue badge to chose episode # 40 to listen to some ideas.Also, check out all the other episodes that are free to download. So, instead of sitting in front of the TV , try using a Wii Fit board to bowl , golf and exercise.Keep moving . Make a fitness calendar,which can be accessed from the left pane of my web site.( click on fitness calendars)
Make sure to keep a daily log or make a blog/journal to keep track of all activities.Remember to pass it along. If there are any walks in your area just sign up and take the pledge of fitness for all.
Take every opportunity to find ways to join in with others in walking , running, and sharing. Good luck !
