Toni Yancey finds that despite our best intentions and repeated resolutions to exercise, as well as a 40-year investment in fitness education and counseling, physical activity in all levels of society continues to plummet. In a warm, reader-friendly narrative that draws on solid scientific research, personal experience, and her own poetry, Yancey calls for a radically different approach: one that respects diversity and is grounded in the cultures of those most at risk. Instant Recess proposes regular ten-minute exercise breaks that utilize music and dance and are easily incorporated into school, work, and community life. Rather than encouraging unhealthful habits like cigarette breaks or high fat snacks, these "instant recesses" make the active choice the natural one. Here is a new paradigm for fitness and public health that promises vitality, well being, and a greater sense of community-demonstrating, as Yancey argues, that what's good for the waistline is good for the bottom line. 606 $aHealth promotion$zUnited States 606 $aPhysical fitness$zUnited States 606 $aExercise$zUnited States 610 $aactive breaks. 610 $aactive lifestyles. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican fitness. 610 $aamerican society. 610 $acall to action. 610 $adiet and exercise. 610 $adiversity. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aexercise breaks. 610 $aexercise science. 610 $aexercise. 610 $afitness education. 610 $afitness. 610 $ahealth and wellness. 610 $ahealth. 610 $ahealthy lifestyles. 610 $ainstant recess. 610 $amusic and dance. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apersonal experience. 610 $aphysical activity. 610 $apoetry. 610 $apublic health. 610 $aresearch based. 610 $aschool breaks. 610 $aschool setting. 610 $aten minute exercises. 610 $awork breaks. 615 0$aHealth promotion 615 0$aPhysical fitness 615 0$aExercise 676 $a613.0973 700 $aYancey$b Antronette K$01555099 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785252403321 996 $aInstant recess$93816745 997 $aUNINA
