Healthy choices?

A healthy life style is often valued and most people have the basic concepts of being healthy. Many students at Green River Community College seem to know much more than the basic concepts since a two-credit PE class is needed to get an Associate Degree.
Taking a two-credit PE class is a good way to get information about healthy life style.
Bonnie Andrews, who currently taking Fitness Lab, said, “I am learning a lot from the class. Working out, knowing the information of nutrition and diseases…Those are extremely helpful. A balanced diet is the first lesson of a healthy life style.”
Andrews has lunch in cafeteria everyday after her PE class, “By the way, the cheeseburger here is really good”, she recommended.
There are many choices in the cafeteria, salads and sandwiches are also available.
“I took a health class when I was in high school, some information is familiar to me. I also have the good ability to memorize,” Jimmy Jeffrey said, who got a 4.0 GPA in Aerobic Walking class last quarter.
He was waiting in line to get his fried chicken in the cafeteria.
“Drinking enough water is the most important thing,” Jeffrey added, while walking to the soft drink machine after getting his fried chicken, picked up a large cup and pushed “Coke”.
Ka Man Chan, an international student, explained, “I have never taken any health class before, but the basic concepts of being healthy are not strange to me. I think there are some common sense staples that we all know, such as: take in less fat, less sugar, less sodium, and do more exercise.”
As one who has never been in a PE or a health class, the ideas of Chan are clear and feasible.
The fitness room in the campus is free to use, students have chance to exercise.
Chan lives one third of a mile away from campus. “I drive to school everyday. Finding a parking space close to where I have class is impossible. I have to walk a lot,” she complained.
Megan N. Real, a PE instructor, admitted, “I believe every student gets the idea of being healthy when walking out the class. However, unfortunately, knowing something is good doesn’t mean people will do it.”
