Why save Phys-Ed?
This powerful video was a project for a student's physical education and health seminar. It was produced in response to a school district in New Jersey that was thinking about canceling their physical education programs. Personally, I wouldn't go so far as to undermine the importance of academic subjects like math, history and English, but the video's other points are bang on. The text is a little hard to read at times, but many of the points in this video are excellent, and it could serve as a model for your own video. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBfJeO_dGu0

Each week, I'll highlight an article that I think is really useful. The article will be available to non-members of the website for a week, and to members forever! This week's pick is: Marathoning is in Our Genes Compared to other animals, it might seem like humans are awkward runners. However, humans have been uniquely designed through evolution to be effective runners...over long distances. Adaptations such as the achilles tendon, the Nuchal ligament, large joints, the lack of fur and the ability to sweat have all made us effective long distance runners. This ability allowed our species to survive in our pre-agriculture years. For more information, click the title link.
