Increasing Physical Activity In The Whole Student Body?
February 20th, 2010
I need help coming up with a plan to increase activity, physical fitness , nutrition, and general overall wellness in the student body. I must draw the interest of the entire school not just one certain group or club.
Then:
How should I promote this?
How am I going to raise the money if it costs money?
Who is going to be responsible for the program?
What does the program consist of (Explain in Detail)
How will you keep students motivated to continue the program?

You should be able to do plenty of free stuff. If you do need money, speak to a local sporting goods store, medical facility, or even a department store. A lot of these places have some money set aside to sponser events (it’s a tax write-off for them).
I would set up some sort of a competition, maybe between groups or classes. That would make people more likely to come out.
Speak with faculty members and have them try to push it for you.
Come up with a BENEFITS list for students. Not just a list of what you’ll do, but a list of why they should do it.
Find a local fitness professional and see if they’d be willing to donate their time to help out. It’s great press for their business. They also are certified (make sure they are!) and insured (again, make sure they are!) for this type of thing. Make sure they have experience working with students in the age groups that you mean.
The program would vary depending on what you were looking for. You’d want a physical component (actually exercising) that was safe, effective, and instructive. You’d want an educational component where students would learn basic nutrition, health, and exercise information. You’d also want a continuing education part where students could get more info.
I would keep them motivated by giving them all progress cards. Also establish prizes such as a “biggest loser/gainer” prize, a checkpoint prize (20 push-ups, 20 lbs down, etc), and maybe a big team prize.
