My students and I have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather lately with some outdoor activities. The problem is many of them don't want to engage in any physical activity. Like most students, many of mine are driven by competition. I am requesting fitness bands so my students can compete with one another. "How many steps can you walk in a day? On the weekend? In a month?" We will work on setting goals and becoming physically engaged in order to achieve those goals. The fitness bands themselves would be an incredible motivator to get them up and moving but adding some competition will set them on a fit path!
