P.E. Blog 3

I thought the yoga project was an easy grade. I performed my project with the class and it was quite fun.
The microsoft kinect game I chose was Dance Central. The makers of Rock Band take on dancing games with the first ever pad-free dancing experience. More than 600 unique moves are ready to be learned solo or with friends. This game looks fun because it is alot of moving around and learning knew dance moves. We should use this game in class to break the ice.

Current Event 1

The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study (2010) monitored the eating habits, recreation and activity levels of 3,021 young adults over 15 years. The results suggested that fast food can cause extensive health issues, and that the connection goes beyond fast food and obesity.


CARDIA revealed that people who ate fast food two or more times a week experienced an average weight gain of 10 pounds more than study participants who ate fast food less than once a week. The study also proved that regular fast food consumption increased the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. This risk is heightened further with other lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption, little exercise and smoking.

I thought this article was defintly interested and filled with information. Eating and smoking are to very unhealthy things that have a huge affect on the body. If you continue to do that everyday you will be unhealthy or more so get obese.
