This letter is meant to highlight a common problem among the students of West Delaware: finding time for both daily exercise and homework. I myself have had trouble finding time for essential physical activity between my studies and otherwise busy schedule. Thus, I would like to propose that the school install a few stationary desk-bikes to provide an area for both light exercise and study at the same time in the library.
Problem:
Most students already know that exercise is beneficial (ie allows more blood flow to the brain, reduces stress, etc.), yet merely 29% of high school students exercised for at least seven hours a week in 2013 (Healthy Schools). The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and prevention) even states that such physical activity dwindles away as students progress through adolescence and that regular exercise has been known to improve academic achievement. …show more content…
Solution:
The problem may be due to the difficulty of finding time for both equally imperative functions. This may be corrected if students were provided with a method of performing both at the same time in the library where more study materials are available. Both requirements may be accomplished with the purchase of exercise equipment which provides a steady platform to write or read upon during a light cardio workout. Such equipment can be supplied by the stationary desk-bikes sold produced by FitDesk and Stamina (Amazon).
