CREATES AND A COUPLE OF MOVING
SOLUTIONS.
ACTIVE BODIES, FUEL ACTIVE
MINDS.
THAT'S THE IDEA BEHIND THIS
WELLNESS PROGRAM AT CHANDLER
VIEW ELEMENTARY.
WHERE STUDENTS ARE DOING MATH
WITH A 5 MINUTE BURST OF
EXERCISE.
>> HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE GREEN
EYES?
>> 20.
JULIE: JESSICA KIPPLE AND HER
THIRD GRADERS WEAR PEDOMETERS TO
TRACK THEIR MOVEMENT DURING THE
DAY, AND WHILE MOST WORKPLACES
DON'T LET YOU TURBO CHARGE YOUR
HEART --
>> IT'S BEING AWARE I'VE BEEN
SITTING LONG ENOUGH, I NEED TO
GET UP AND MOVE.
JULIE: AND THAT, WELLNESS
EXPERTS SAY, IS THE BEGINNING OF
POSITIVE CHANGE.
>> MOST PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN AWARE
HOW MUCH THEY'RE SITTING.
JULIE: LINDA KENEDY TEACHES AT
CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY'S NEW
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM.
TEACHING WELLNESS COACHES HOW TO
GET PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CHAIRS
AND ACTIVE AGAIN.
>> YOU KNOW, JULIE, PEOPLE WANT
A MAGIC PILL, THEY REALLY DO.
JULIE: DURING OUR STANDING
INTERVIEW, SHE SAYS CHAIRS ARE
KILLING AMERICANS.
>> YOUR BODY JUST KIND OF SHUTS
DOWN.
YOUR BODY IS MEANT TO MOVE AND
WHEN WE SIT AT WORK ALL DAY,
WE'RE IN A POSITION OF REST, SO
WE'RE NOT BURNING AS MANY
CALORIES, OUR MUSCLES AREN'T
FIRING.
JULIE: THAT INACTIVITY
CONTRIBUTES TO HEART DISEASE,
DEPRESSION, DIABETES, AND
OBESITY.
SHE SAYS TAKE A CUE FROM KIDS
AND PLAY.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR BREAKS AND
GET MOVING, LIKE TEACHER KESHA
KING, WHO CONSTANTLY WALKS THE
TRACK AT SCHOOL.
>> CAUSE THAT HELPS THE MIND,
JUST AS MUCH AS PENCIL AND PAPER
WORK.
JULIE: BACK IN LINDA'S OFFICE,
--
>> IT'S REALLY EASY.
JULIE: SHE USES A CONVERTIBLE
DESK, SO SHE'S STANDING FOR
SEVERAL HOURS A DAY.
>> YOUR BACK, YOUR CORE, YOUR
MUSCLES ARE TURNED ON FUCTIONING
AS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO AND
THEY'RE HOLDING UP YOUR SPINE
AND HEAD AND NECK.
OUR POSTURE IS BETTER THAN WHEN
WE'RE SITTING.
JULIE: SHE ENCOURAGES STAND-UP
MEETINGS, WALKING MEETINGS, AND
TAKING THE LONG ROUTE TO THE
BATHROOM OR COPY MACHINE.
AND SHE SAYS EVERYONE SHOULD GET
OUT OF A CHAIR FOR AT LEAST 5
MINUTES EACH HOUR.
>> ANYTHING THAT INCORPORATES
GETTING UP AND MAKING IT MORE
ACCEPTABLE IN THE CULTURE SO
IT'S NOT STRANGE FOR SOMEBODY TO
BE STANDING.
IT'S GOTTA BECOME THE NORM.
JULIE: BACK AT THE TRACK, IT'S
KESHA'S NORM TO GET THOSE STEPS
IN.
HOW MANY STEPS TODAY?
