The materials that I will have my students use are dumbbell weights to go along side my P.E. class which focuses on 100% Body Conditioning. It is my belief that students need to incorporate more physical activity into their adolescent lives as we are seeing more and more of the current generational students living what some call a sedentary lifestyle. We are seeing this current generation "screen time" usage simply exploding out of control. Young men and women are simply not getting out and seeking physical activities: organized sports, personal fitness goals or engaging in healthy lifestyle activities that promote a more positive mindset and free spirit. Especially, since the Covid 19 pandemic occurred in 2019-2020 and sheltered our youngsters indoors. In my P.E. class I have my students moving each a everyday that they come to my class. My motto that I tell them is you will be moving 99% of the time and in front of a screen or sitting down 1% of the time. I tell them that I want this class to the one class that you will be able to build your body, so that you can free your mind of stress, worries and frustrations that are all around us. I tell them the saying: Mens Sana in Corpore Sano- Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body. More so than ever I see that engaging my students to start living a more physically active lifestyle will break the cycle of the inactivity that is happening to our youth today. My project idea that I have is to simply incorporate some type of light weight training in my Body Conditioning class to give them another option to building a stronger body to give them the confidence in their minds to be more mentally discipled and confident.
