By Molly Holkesvik, DHS ELA Teacher & Collaborative Teacher The weather is cold. Our schedules are crazy busy. Our mental and emotional status changes every five minutes, depending on who is around and the subject of conversation. We know working out would keep us in better physical, mental, and emotional health; however, finding the time to work out proves a major obstacle. That’s why I decided to share with you some tips to working out at school without even knowing it.
I bet many of you have even more ideas. Please share them with me, and I can continue to update this post. Remember, anything we can do for ourselves to keep us mentally, physically, and emotionally strong is worth our time and energy.

Molly-- Thank you for this advice. I appreciate the tips to stay active, especially during these dog days of winter! It was a good read to remind me to take care of my body and MOVE IT!

Great tips, Molly! I often have my students "walk and talk" as they are considering topics for a writing assignment, and I always end up feeling more refreshed, too. Thanks for the reminder of how important it is for us to avoid the sedentary way whenever possible.

Thanks for the tips, Molly! Working on the 3rd floor and taking the stairs multiple times a day definitely helps. I also see my students doing twists in their chairs and that reminds me to do some chair yoga to stretch.
