That would be great if your school started something like that. The way I got this started was that I just started walking one day. A couple kids started walking with me, so I asked them if they would like to start a walking club. Most of the class (both of my classes) signed up. They don't all walk each time, but some have every time. I think more will start when they see them eating their freezer pops! loljkath said:Barb -
your "walking club" is a great idea! So many children are sedentary at home, so it's nice they have a fun alternative at school
I think I'm going to suggest this at Wednesday night's PTA meeting.

Yesterday the scale said I was up two pounds...
today I lost those two plus another. I need to get a new scale, this one
jumps around too much.
(yep, weighed myself at the same time
both days)

have you heard of Tanita body-fat moniter digital scales, pds? they're really accurate. i have one that i got at wal-mart for $50 and it's much better than the other 3 scales in this house. one more thing:
do you weigh in first thing in the morning, before you've had anything to eat or drink, and always in the same robe or whatever? these variables affect the reading bigtime. i learned this in the hospital and they were definately right! it does affect it.
jkath said:Amber - here's an exercise you can do with the ball: (trainernazi made me do it - it's really hard to keep the ball in place, but well worth it!)
Lie on your back, stretch arms out on the ground (this is for balance). Put your feet together, and almost on top of the ball (more towards you). Knees bent, parallel to the ground. Now, raise your hips as high as you can get them, while keeping the ball in place. Hold this position as long as you can, and do 15 reps.
