Fitness Cure

Jessica Simpson has been going through a lot this past week since pictures of her looking a little heavier at a Chili Festival has hit the media.  Personally, I think she is like every average woman: gaining and losing weight constantly. ESPECIALLY when in a relationship. While I think it’s terrible there’s a lot of scrutiny over a little bit of fat, the fact is: is she has sold her curves her entire life and put it out on display to be valued and scrutinized

In addition to those photos, she is also going through a lawsuit over a fitness video she agreed to appear in and promote years ago. Check out her video footage below. It’s pretty good!

Check out her fitness video promo here!

Physically Fit Kids Do Better In School

ScienceDaily (Jan. 28, 2009) — A new study in the Journal of School Health found that physically fit kids scored better on standardized math and English tests than their less fit peers.

Researchers examined the relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement in a racially and economically diverse urban public school district of children enrolled in grades 4 – 8 during the 2004 – 2005 academic year.

Results of their study show that there is a significant relationship between students’ academic achievement and physical fitness. The odds of passing both standardized math and English tests increased as the number of fitness tests passed increased, even when controlling for gender, race/ethnicity, and socio-economic status.

School time and resources are often diverted from Physical Education and opportunities for physical activity such as recess. However, this study shows that students who do well on fitness tests also do well on math and English standardized tests.

“For families and schools, these results suggest investments of time and resources in physical activity and fitness training may not detract from academic achievement in core subjects, and, may even be beneficial,” the authors conclude.

Encourage your kids to MOVE!
