Pys. Ed vs. Academic Success

We watched the video about Allison Cameron and the connection she made between physical activity and academic success rates.

I was blown away by the progress that this teacher made with these students that so many would probably describe as lost causes. Adding Physical activity to their weekly routines drastically improved their grades.

While watching this video I realised how true the lesson really is. When I'm having trouble focussing on homework or studying, I always go to the gym for a couple hours. Once I'm done working out, I can focus without a problem. I never really knew the theories behind these methods, I just knew it worked for me.
