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.
