Any teachers out there?

Any teachers out there?  I started a group today called, "Teachers for Fitness" to provide us with a forum to share ideas and encourage each other.  I know how hard it can be to fit in regular exercise during the school year with all its demands.  The first topic I opened is on what teachers are doing over the summer to exercise, eat well, and prepare for the upcoming school year refreshed.  Hope to see you there!  BTW, my name is Stephen, and I teach first grade.

How can I find the group? I'm doing an okay job of working on my health this summer. I've recently started eating a little healthier. I bought a brand new bike (sadly, FL weather has prevented me from riding much). I'm working at a summer camp so constantly jogging and walking up and down stairs. I've also started doing weekly workouts on the Wii using a Gym workout game and Zumba Party. I teach K-12.

Hi Katie!

It sounds like you're doing a great job using the summer to keep fit.  Great job!  So the Florida weather isn't cooperating?  I hear you.  Here is Sacramento, it;s pretty hot and dry right now.  In fact, there is a major drought, and we're trying to save water every way we can. Pretty exciting though to have a new bike.  Funny, my wife and I were just in the neighborhood bicycle shop tonight, buying me a new helmet.  

I'm so glad your interesting in joining this new--but hopefully very productive, fun group.  I am so excited because I usually waste my summers being lazy and ending up going back to school less refreshed than I could be--but not this summer!  I love my new FitBit!  It really is motivating.  

What grade or grades do you teach?  Anyway, go to the communuity dropdown.  You'll see acitivity groups.  click that and then you'll see Teachers for fitness.  Looking forward to encouaging each other!
