exercise or technology?

Exercising is one of the most important factors to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Whether it's playing soccer with friends or just walking to school everyday, these type of activities can lead to having a good lifestyle. A decent amount of exercising everyday can help prevent diseases and obesity. More children are becoming obese because of all the technologies that are surrounding them. They are always sitting down and are glued to television or going on msn to chat with friends. Our government seen these poor lifestyles and had finally implemented Daily Physical Activites(DPA) in schools all across British Columbia. I strongly believe that this would help students to become more active and to improve their lifetyles. It will encourage students, or at least they have to, to exercise. Kindergarten to Grade Nine are required to do 30 minutes of exercising during the school days. This mean that they are monitored to exercise because they need to complete it only during school hours. Schools can organize a walk-a-thon or sports day to ensure that students are doing their required exercise time. Senior students are required to do 150 mintues of physical activities but, it can be done in school or outside of school. High schools should make physical education required in grade 11 and 12 to make sure that students are getting the right amount of exercis time. For me, about 20 minutes of exercising everday is very easy to achieve and students should not complain about having to do that. The Ministry of Education is wise to put out this program to ensure students are having a healthy lifestyle. Also, it can help the academic performance of a child because they have a healthier mind and body. Students are to complete the requirements of the DPA in order to graduate; it will certainly help students to exercise more and spend less time on technologies. This program will surely help everyone to have a healthier lifestyle.
