What problem would you like to solve?

Physical Fitness in schools

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

This is important because currently in school we have gym class but it is not an actual gym class were we can lift weights. As a youth male, I think that lifting weights or exercising on a treadmill works better than just running around the gym. This is relevant to the community as health concerns are sky-rocketing all over the Bronx.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Creating programs in schools during gym that make PE classes with nutrition classes as well as how to properly use and lift weights.

Who would that help?

Every Youth

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
