Health Education, Wednesday, Second Period
Wednesday, October 1st, 2025 10:27 am"This week I thought we'd talk about the importance of staying active and exercising," Don told his students. "Living a very sedentary lifestyle, where you don't move around or really do much, physically, is very bad for you. I encourage everyone to at least get out and take a walk every day, especially since with all the stairs on this island you get some bonus exercise built in." So many stairs. "But if you want, adding some extra exercise in might be a good idea. I have some information here on some basic exercises, and there are all sorts of demos and routines you can learn about online on places like Youtube. I won't be doing any demonstrations today because I have a bad leg and my form wouldn't be 'correct,' but that's also an important consideration. You can always modify exercises if they don't work for you because of physical limitations.
"Now, why is it important to exercise? Lots of reasons. In the short term, if the island is invaded by, I don't know, Doombots, you'll want to be strong enough to fight or have enough stamina to run away. In the long term, it improves your overall health and will help to prevent problems later in life. So again, I would recommend at least a walk every day, and maybe some squats or something if you feel like it. You can try out some of the exercises now, if you'd like, but I've never done a burpee, so I can't help with your form or whatever." Thor could, probably. But Thor wasn't here.
