Alrighty, my first topic of interest is American lifestyle and why it's so unhealthy. Im pretty sure that this is the only topic i am going to do, so dont be surprised if the next two posts are simple variations. Anyways, my research into this topic goes beyond the one class period we've been allotted to Google. I have studied independently exercise and simple mechanics of the body for years now, and it has been glorious.
Sadly, the views and opinions I have developed over this time are contrary to pretty much all of our culture's view on working out. Sitting is the devil, pattern overload is a sin, and the divine savior is taking responsibility for one's self and learning about the skin one lives in. These beliefs often cause my coaches and peers to call me naive or weird. They're right, but I wish to show why I am too. It is with this project that I will voice my accumulated knowledge to the world... or class... okay maybe just teacher, but hopefully not.
Basic points:
-Housekeeping: destroying culture - why the feels must not beat the facts.
-Living sedentary life is costly (medical costs, health drawbacks, even self esteem)
-Common probs with easy solutions (shin splints, flat feet, back pain, shoulder pain, etc.)
-Little bit of my personal experience
-Conclude: take personal responsibility. You were not born broken.
