As I sat at my favorite local restaurant last night (Tonic) watching game seven of the Capitals vs. Bruins series (Way to Go Caps!), I was speaking with my dear friend and department chair Dr. Loretta DiPietro. I asked her what I should blog about this week. She immediately offered her perspective and said, write about Jimmy Fallon and Obama's Slow Jam. Perplexed I said, "Huh?" She briefly explained to me the premise of the song: congress is looking to increase interest rates on student loans to decrease the national deficit and Obama is not buying it.
Interested in the topic, I replied, "Well, what does this have to do with fitness?" And she replied, "Kel, you know, it is all relative." And the reality of it is, it really is all relative. Education is key! Key to proper nutrition, key to time management, key to exercise. There are many studies that show the discrepancy in health is similar to the discrepancy in education. So this post might not be as straight forward as my usual ones: a workout, a recipe, or a tip of the week, but it is a little deeper and thought provoking.
So take a minute and watch the slow jam! Please, let me know your thoughts! How does education relate to fitness? How does this video speak to you? Regardless of your political affiliation, education is important for us all :)!
