Physical Activity Participation

I am running a walking and jogging program that takes place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in the morning before school. The club size has about doubled since the last time I posted. I have close to 60 students walking and jogging now in the mornings. This has enabled me to have the students on two floors within my school. One is for walking (when students get tired) and the other is for jogging. Students may switch between the two. It has been working out well!

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Growing the program was my biggest challenge. I overcame that issue by having my sports teams' members join the morning exercise program.
