#276 Practical Health and Fitness for Teachers with Big Ron Jones

Hello everyone! Teachers and administrators live busy lives. We make hundreds of decisions every single day and dedicate the majority of our time serving and supporting others. This often leads us making little time for ourselves, especially with health and fitness.  I am guilty of this just like many of you probably are. My health often sits on the back burner while I work to do my job to the best of my ability. And just like you, I know this is unsustainable and wrong minded.  To hopefully help you and myself focus on steps we can take to insure we get to serve students and families long into the future, I have brought on Big Ron Jones to give us practical, real world advice on health and fitness. Ron Jones is a health and  wellness trainer who reaches tens of thousands of people with his videos and advice.  In this episode, we discuss:  What health is and how to define it Setting realistic goals Common myths in fitness The basics of calories  Fad diets and predatory gyms  ...and much more!      This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, Tuned-In Teaching: Centering Youth Culture for an Active and Just Classroom.
