| What I think is absurd about many gym classes is that they teach team sports that don't lead to lifelong fitness habits. Look at most adults -- they don't stay healthy by playing team soccer or basketball or volleyball, they stay healthy by running, swimming, or working out - individual activities that they can do on their OWN schedule, not a team's schedule. I think many of us would have been better served by an hour of walking / jogging, working out on machines, strength training, etc. and giving us the positive feeling of feeling good from moving our bodies, than standing around while the "better" kids kicked, hit or threw the ball for which we got no cardio benefit anyway. |
