NUTRITION EDUCATION

IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE

• The importance of exercise is something we have learned since our first days of Gym. We have learned how to exercise and many different ways to do it. Physical education is often the first taste of physical activity many kids get.

Physical Activity

• Exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of developing diseases that correlate with a sanitary life style.

NUTRITION

• The unit that I would like to be added to future classes does not have to do with physical activity itself. But it's a very important part of health that goes along with it. A nutrition unit that goes hand in hand with our class can be a great idea.

Nutrition

• The goal of this unit should be to educate students of the importance of nutrition and how it goes hand and hand with exercise. For example, an hour of paced cardio can burn 100-215 calories. Most granola bars pack 150 to 200 calories.
