Unplugged - Read all about it

    From jogging inside to exercising on a small electronic pad indoors, our lifestyle has changed dramatically for the worse. If all the TV sets in the world could be un plugged our children would in fact grow up in a healthier life style than the secluded modernized life we have now. Playing the Nintendo Wii is extremely fun, admittedly, but the exercise does not compare to what you would get out doors. I feel that enjoying a little summer sun, playing a long match of soccer or basketball is very healthy for children growing up. When you're inside there’s only so much you can do while watching TV or playing video games. Even if you’re on the Wii fitness craze, you only have to simulate the move that the game wants you to do, in real life your using every last muscle to kick the ball that last stretch. Outdoor exercise combines a running core workout with whatever else you're using whether it be football, soccer or baseball etc. Growing up soccer has always been the sport for me, and never once have I seen a soccer player that was out of shape. I feel that outdoor exercise not only provides you with a healthier well-being but a stronger sense of self pride and you also get to socialize and meet plenty of new people. Playing a video game you could meet someone, but not in face to face flesh, and your only working out your thumbs and nothing else. It is vital that children are unplugged from the TV and out with neighborhood kids exercising and socializing.

  1. I agree with your comment that it is vital that children are unplugged from the TV and out with neighborhood kids exercising and socializing. If more people felt that way, our children would be physically healthier. Good job, and the picture supports your stance.

  2. I agree with you although the Wii is fun to play there is still nothing like being out in the sun.
