They are learning that training and taking care of their bodies can happen consistently, even when circumstances do not go according to plan. The walking pad gives students an opportunity to keep moving, challenge themselves, and develop greater endurance over time. It has also helped us create a classroom environment in which physical activity is something students look forward to. They enjoy encouraging one another and celebrating their progress, and they take pride in having the opportunity to use equipment that supports their growth as student athletes.
