  Educators learn how incorporating physical activity into the classroom can improve students’ engagement, achievement, and overall wellness. Students typically spend most of the day sitting at their desks, and many don’t have recess or PE. Research shows that regular exercise helps stimulate brain function and improve skills such as reading, critical thinking, organization, and focus. Authors Brad Johnson and Melody Jones, have consulted with schools across the globe on fitness issues, offer a variety of games and activities educators can use to integrate exercise into any class or subject area.
