TeWinkle Times: Fitness Awareness
By: Thu Nguyen
Fitness plays an important part in kids, teens, and adults lives. TeWinkle asks students do physical education, PE, every day as part of our physical fitness. Fitness promotes an active lifestyle and gives you a healthier cholesterol.Without physical fitness, a student can have many problems in the future, such as heart disease and diabetes. You can control your weight when working out but also eating healthy. Doing fitness at least three times a week for 30 minutes to an hour, can give you toned muscles and build up your stamina and endurance. Other things such as healthy foods can be involved in a student's life. A healthy diet is essential for a teen because of their heightened nutritional needs. Adolescence is a time of growth for teens, both physical and mental development. So, what do students at TeWinkle Middle School think of physical Awareness?
I interviewed publication members, Monik Rodriguez, Kaya Pagard, and Lily Shandalove. They gave me their honest thoughts about what they think about physical fitness.
Q: How many times do you think you need to workout for every week?
A: Kaya Pagard: I think you need to workout for at least 5 hours every week.
Q: What do you honestly think about fitness?
A: Kaya Pagard: I believe that it is good for your health and can help with the sport you do.
Q: Why do you think physical education is important?
A: Lily Shandalove: I think physical education is important because you can get overweight, which can lead to medical problems.
Q: Why is physical education mandatory in middle schools and some high schools?
A: Monik Rodriguez: So students obtain a healthy lifestyle as a learning student.
What I can conclude from my article, is that fitness awareness is important in young people's lives and that why many students should support fitness and physical education for their health.
