Let’s face it, “Sports aren’t for everyone” is a very real and applicable statement for today’s youth. This is why I’m asking for donations of indoor stationary cycles to reach more students in the physical education classroom. We will combine these cycles with aerobic boards, yoga mats, fitness weights and overall wellness programs to help promote a healthier lifestyle. The ultimate goal is to allow students the opportunity to be physically active in a more comfortable setting than sports. Imagine how much more YOU would have participated in your physical education class if you could choose between stress relief exercise or sports? Imagine how effective teaching young students positive and beneficial coping skills of exercise over screen time could be for their future. Overall students need more inclusive and modern choices of achieving fitness and wellness within their lives. The use of cycles combined with our heart rate monitors, personalized student led nutrition plans, and personalized wellness plan created by each individual student, will allow us to change the game in the educational system. There is data upon data upon data that promotes the correlation between active students and the learning environment. Data suggest the more active students are during the day the more the developing brains function properly and effectively. Also who wouldn’t want to learn and live a happier and healthier lifestyle? Thank you for your consideration to donate to my mission of creating the perfect physical education experience for ALL STUDENTS.
