A groundbreaking and fascinating investigation into the transformative effects of exercise on the brain, from Abraham Concepcion, an elementary physical education teacher.
Did you know you can beat stress, lift your mood, fight memory loss, sharpen your intellect, and teach better than ever just by elevating your heart rate and breaking a sweat? The evidence is incontrovertible: Aerobic exercise physically remodels our brains for peak performance.
Research shows that mindfulness has positive benefits for overall health and wellness. These benefits aren’t just limited to hardcore athletes. Kids and teachers both have a lot to gain from the movement and breath that improves fitness levels.
In 1,000 Pounds of Physical Education, Abraham embarked upon a traumatic and challenging journey as a kid having to struggle with a horrible teacher. Mindfulness eventually leads him through the mind-body connection to learning. He now presents startling research that proves exercise is truly our best defense against everything from depression to ADD to addiction to aggression to memory loss. Filled with amazing case studies, including research that validates the importance of engaging students in physical activity to support learning.
1,000 Pounds of Physical Education explores the connection between exercise, mind, and winning in the classroom year after year comprehensively. Become an effective teacher that provides vigorous cooperation games that promote socio-emotional learning, cooperation, teamwork, trust, problem-solving, oxygenates the brain, and allow memory retention early in life. It will change forever the way you think about your morning run, diet, and simply the way you think.
