Exercise Podcast

I found this podcast online and it interested me a lot. The video doesn't contain a whole lot of information, but it does add some humor to the podcast. The rest of the document contains a lot more information that is very useful and important to read before or after watching each part's different podcast. The point of the podcast is to first of all inform and educate students about the obesity epidemic that is occurring in our country today. Also, the podcast gives a lesson to those students through the use of interactive activities in physical education class. The lesson consists of students formulating a goal for their target heart rate. The experiment/activity lasts one month and the students also get to learn about technology using this podcast because the lesson involves the use of the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, which is a new technological tool that has recently been developed. Throughout the month, students go through various checkpoints to see what kind of progress they have made. At the end of the month, a final evaluation is taken to see if the students have achieved their goal for the class.
