Begin Class Discussion: This class will begin when I`ll be speaking about obesity and how it`s been increasing at alarming rates. A major part of why obesity is becoming a catastrophe is because us individuals are spending more time not exercising than exercising. Students must understand the concept that we only have one body for the rest of our lives, and we must treat it, and stay active so we live longer, and healthier. The benefits of exercising 5 days, moderate intensity, and 30 minutes per week is incredible for our body. The advantages include :increases self esteem, lower blood pressure, less chances of having cardiac diseases, cures cholesterol, more energy, prevents liver diseases, etc. Students must understand that they aren`t benefitting their body in any such way by watching television, and playing video games. In the end they`re hurting themselves. Having a sedentary lifestyle has many negative effects on the human body. Students must understand that if commercials on television didn`t have motives, and money behind what they air they would promote more exercise commercials, but the truth behind the matter is whatever is on television sells.
