Interesting article on how to improve our physical education classes in order to make them more relevant in today's world. Much of it is common sense and the author does seem to overstate the problems with touching but all in all a very thought provoking article.
Excerpt
Current physical education programs are mindless. Most consist of learning how to play different sports and games every few weeks. Quite frankly, you probably won't play most ever again. If you do, then it's your choice, and it is learned informally playing with friends, and family or formally on after school sporting teams. It is odd that such a useless class is required. What about the exercise factor? We'll it doesn't seem to effective since there are more overweight & out of shape kids than there has ever been before. It's time for physical education teachers, and school board officials to get their acts together.Interesting article on how to improve our physical education classes in order to make... more

BY KANYE WEST AND RA'AH AHWAR/REGINALD"LATE REGGIESTRATION"LOFTON...LET'S GET HEALTHY!
This is what Start! is all about — employees stepping away from their desks to get some quick and easy physical activity at work. Remember, walking can help a person reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke. And healthier employees help you reduce healthcare costs. So why wouldn’t you want employees up and moving?
Recommendations:
Moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activities for at least 30 minutes, 5 days a week.
Physical activity can be accumulated (e.g., 10 minute sessions) throughout the day. It's important to include physical activity as part of the regular routine.
Moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activity for 60–90 minutes daily to help lose weight or maintain weight.
Step 3. You’ve set a regimen and devised a plan. But is what you’re doing enough? Are you pushing yourself too hard? Not hard enough?
One way to figure it out is to take the talk test. It’s a simple way to measure intensity.
A person working out at a light intensity level should be able to sing while doing the activity.
Someone exercising at a moderate intensity level should be able to carry on a conversation comfortably while engaging in the activity.
If a person becomes winded or too out of breath to carry on a conversation, the activity can be considered vigorous.BY KANYE WEST AND RA'AH AHWAR/REGINALD"LATE REGGIESTRATION"LOFTON...LET'S GET HEALTHY!... more
