Colebrookdale elementary students learn health and wellness
Posted: at 6:15 pm
COLEBROOKDALE Although the primary focus at Colebrookdale Elementary School (CES) has always been to provide students with a solid education, these days there is also a secondary emphasis on health and wellness.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity now affects 17 percent of all children and adolescents in the United States, triple the rate from just one generation ago, and the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that there is a 70 percent chance that overweight adolescents will become overweight adults.
Since unhealthy eating patterns and lack of physical activity are the most prevalent factors leading to weight gain in children and adolescents, the CES administration and staff decided to help the school population get and stay healthy.
One way the school is promoting good health is by implementing a breakfast program. In January, the CES cafeteria began offering a daily breakfast which, like the school lunch, is geared toward offering healthier options.
We try to be very health-conscious with the breakfast choices here to make them more nutritious, so for at least two meals of the day [the students] could be getting a good meal, explained CES principal Michael Stoudt.
The program is even more popular than anticipated, with an average of 75 of the 360 students eating breakfast at the school each morning. Although several other schools in the district also have breakfast programs, CES has the highest attendance in the area.
While diet is one component of good health, physical activity is also important. Since last year, CES students have been learning that video games need not be mindless time wasters, but can be active and healthful instead.
CES physical education teacher Darla Lieb used grant money last year to purchase a Wii video game system that she has since been using to teach children how fitness can be fun.
The students participate in the Wii Feel the Beat program, which teaches them to keep track of their heart rates while playing Wii games in order to draw conclusions about which games are most beneficial to their health. The hope is that the children will then take this knowledge home and participate in active games when they play with their own video game systems.
I like to encourage every student in my class to be able to find something that theyre going to enjoy and want to do outside of fitness class, said Lieb. Continued...

Fitness First slims down to trim debt

STRUGGLING health club chain Fitness First has been forced to sell a quarter of its Australian gyms as part of a restructure to wipe $890 million of debt from its British parent company.
Fitness First Australia is a division of the global company Fitness First Group, which is undergoing a debt-for-equity swap with lenders Oaktree and Marathon.
The lenders have agreed to write off all the company's debt for an equity stake.

The company, which will also shed clubs in Britain, has been hit by weak consumer spending and the rise of budget gyms. It is believed the Australian arm brings in more than 50 per cent of profits, despite accounting for only 25 per cent of clubs.
In an announcement yesterday, the company said it was selling 24 of its 97 clubs across the country that were underperforming to help improve its balance sheet.
''We have identified 24 clubs that do not fit our vision for the brand and these clubs are being put on the market for sale,'' said Fitness First Australia's managing director, Pete Manuel.
Advisory firm 333 Capital, which is helping the company find buyers, estimated the combined value of the clubs at about $50 million.
''It is a very attractive, national footprint of 24 clubs, and we are very confident of selling,'' said managing director Chris Martin.
