Are you against fitness testing for elementary students?
why? self esteem issues, unfair?
huh, huh?
I am for it because in today’s day and age, obesity between children has risen and it doesn’t hurt for a child to take a fitness test. They do have the energy for it!
I noticed the following question in a health and fitness quiz:
Which best describes your exercise program?
a) both weight training and aerobic exercise
b) either weight training or aerobic exercise
c) none
I think the 3rd option should have been “c) neither”, and “none” seems wrong to me. What do you think?
I see where you’re coming from and why you prefer “neither.” But I think they didn’t use “neither” because it is singular, and a & b contain two items so cannot be referred to as singular. I think c should have been “no exercise.”
Need Feedback: Starting a Parents & Kids Fitness Facility/Gym?
Hey Everyone,
Just looking for some general feedback. I in the process of starting a niche Parents & Kids gym. There will be 2 rooms divided by large windows….in the kids area there will be gymnastic equipment, rock climbing wall, rope, and other fun fitness activities. The adult exercise area will consist of standard work out machines, free weights and cardio equipment. The kids will be able to see their parents working out and this would hopefully promote healthy lifestyles. Upon registration each family receives a Life Coach which will guide them through their fitness progress.
What do you think? Any comments?
u are the 14th person wishing to do this.
excuse me but what is, in your opinion, the purpose of PE in school? IT is tax supported
and state mandated.
I need some good Ideas for a fitness week for my school Grades pk-6.?
I was thinking..
Dance to your fave CD for 20min
Walk the Dog
DO 20 jump/jack and then redo them 10 times trying to beat the previous times record.
ANY MORE IDEAS??
I am applying for a Grant for my school and My grant Idea is F5 week “The Winds of Healthy Change”
I am challenging the student body to eat better and exercise to just GET MOVING. My school has 36% obese kids, 12% MORBIDLY obese kids, 18% at risk and only 34% Healthy kids!!!! How scarry is that! We are just a everyday run of the mill ELEMENTARY School. I am so SO worried about my students health. I would appreciate any GOOD IDEAS to help make this FUN and EXCITING for them to do!!
THANKS!!!!!
we have a field day this is a whole week dedicated to fitness. I need ideas for them to do at home. I am having them log the minutes on a sheet and parents sign off on it.
we used to have Field Day. there would be several activities planned. each group would have a certain amount of time to do the activity before they went on to the next. you could have jump ropes, relay races, long jump, whatever you want. throw a frisbee through a hula hoop. who can hula hoop the longest? the team or class with the most points wins a party or gets to watch a movie. kids all over are getting fatter because they sit inside playing video games or watching tv instead of going out and playing. good luck!

Can you pass PE if you don’t do good on the fitness test?
I have an A- in Gym, and A+’s in all my other classes. Reason for the A- is lack of extra credit options. Anyways, the fitness test is coming pretty soon. I should be able to pass the mile run, the sit-up test, and the sit and reach ones, but I know I’m going to fail the push up test and probably the shuttle run test. This is my first year in public school, so it’s my first time doing push ups etc. How much of your grade is the fitness test? I mean, if some kid had an A and failed all the tests, what would his grade be, and would he have to repeat PE? What if he just fails some and barely passes the others? Thanks, and sorry for the long question.
Truthfully, the only way to know is to ask the teacher how much each test is worth. I doubt that you will fail gym, because of the physical tests. However, you may not get an A in the class. If you fail some and barely pass some others, passing still depends on grading system for that teacher’s particular class. If it did bring your grade down that much then the system doesn’t care about the some that you actually passed. If you fail PE you would have to repeat it. Good luck on your tests! I’m sure you’ll be fine on all of them and you’ll be fine even if you fail a couple of those tests.
Does Lifetime Fitness Conduct Drug Test On New Employees?
I’m about to graduate and am thinking of applying at this new gym accross town called Lifetime Fitness, but being a senior \ a lot of pot gets smoked by me and my friends for fun and I want to know before I waste my time if these people violate my constitutional right to privacy and conduct pre employement drug tests? If they do it’s no big deal I just won’t apply but if they don’t I will apply and they’ll get a good employee.
Most Lifetime Fitness centers (maybe all of them) include child care facilities. And these days, anyone who is hired to work near or around children is likely to have to pass both a drug test and a criminal background check. The insurance companies pretty much insist on it.
Based on that, it’s almost certain that they would want to test you. Sorry. I agree that what people do in their own homes ought to be no one else’s concern. But I also know that whenever anyone gets hurt these days, people sue everyone and his uncle. So I understand how a business can feel that it has to protect itself.
Keep in mind that cannabis residue usually only stays in your urine for a few days to about a week. If you clean up your act, you will test negative. It is not like you will be positive for the rest of your life.
I wish you well.

what are some low organization indoor fitness games?
I have got an assignment in gym that we have to create a indoor fitness game for which the instructions are clear and which reuires less equipments and low organization. It must have some fitness in it. there must be some fitness for each team member. Every bdy should do something. Please think of some interesting games. Think for the equipments available in a gym class.
I don’t know, maybe something like Simon Says would be good.
i was just wondering of the wii games out there that have a good gameplay and a good online experience.
right now i only like mario cart for online right now (Sinces there is no lag like brawl!) so i just wantedd to know what is your favorite game for gameplay and online play (2 seperate list one for game play and one for online play or just one list stating the best games would be nice)
games currently playing
Brawl
mario kart
mario super sluggers
wii fit (w00t for fitness)
oh yes i have beaten mario glaxy and paper mario i might check out the call of duty i love online =] but gameplay doesnt hurt lol i put online over pretty much story/gameplay any day a good online game is an easy buy for me =]
Medal of Honor 2 has great online play with no lag. If your into gun games then you should get it. The single player mode isnt why people buy it though, so dont expect too much for single player.
Great single player games are:
