Stretching. Walking briskly. Team sports. Dancing. Nothing beats the feeling one gets from working up a good sweat. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least sixty minutes of physical activity each day. However, many of today's youth have somehow gotten lost in the world of tablets, video games, and endless hours of staring contests with televisions. With all of these new time-consuming gadgets, daily physical activity has been placed on the back burner.* As many of my family's elder statesmen have frankly stated, "This new generation needs to exercise more!" It sounds harsh, but it's true. Many of my friends would rather be sitting in front of a gadget than exercising to help keep their bodies strong and healthy. The writing is clearly on the wall. We get it. Physical activity needs to be a top priority.%0D%0A%0D%0A2%0D%0A%0D%0ABy no means am I the model of physical fitness, but I am an advocate for optimizing health. Between studying, chores, spending time with family, after-school clubs, social networking, and other miscellaneous "to-do" lists, most teens barely have time to squeeze in sleep, let alone any other daily activities. Yet according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), physical activity in adolescents improves strength and endurance, helps build strong bones, reduces stress, increases self-esteem, and it is also known to increase brain function. I'd love to reduce stress. I'd love to have strong bones. I'd love to increase brainpower. I'd love to be as fit as a fiddle. Be that as it may, many adolescents find it difficult to prioritize exercise, and we depend on getting those sixty minutes of daily physical activity at school.%0D%0A%0D%0A3%0D%0A%0D%0AMany schools are increasing physical fitness by providing comprehensive programs, increasing physical activities in classrooms, and providing opportunities for students to participate in intramural sports. This is not the case here at Ken
nedy. Currently, Kennedy High School offers limited options for physical education classes, only including traditional sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. While these sports are great options for some students, they may not appeal to everyone. By adding a different selection of classes, such as dance, yoga, and martial arts, Kennedy High School can provide more variety and cater to the diverse interests and abilities of its students.
