While awareness of
the importance of
physical activity to
health has certainly
increased, what most
people do not under-
stand is how im-
portant physical activ-
ity is to the well-being
of children and youth
in areas other than
health. Although
these contributions
may not receive as
much press, they are
equally important.
Sports are a outcome of
having physical educa-
tion through out your
life. It helps develop
basic fundamental
skills in order to per-
form things such as a

Eating Healthy

nourished. Specifically,
healthy eating has been
linked to higher grades,

Without Physical Education in our lives or school curriculum I
believe this world would suffer of obesity, cardiovascular prob-
lems and etc. We need physical education believe it or not be-
cause it teaches more then just playing a sport. It gives us the
fundamental basic motor skills we need in life growing up. With
out those we couldn't do basic things such as catch or throw
and even learn how to do physical activities in a structural man-
ner.
Where would we be without Physical
Education
Exercising with a purpose is very important. Many people
don't have the motivation or support they may want to
exercise. Thats exactly why you should always exercise
with a purpose. Have a reason why your exercising or
event set a goal not only to motivate you, but to also
help you stay fit and reach different achievements each
time you work out.
