Making Exercise A Priority

Remembering that your health is the utmost important thing & setting aside time to make sure you are healthy

"I didn't have a chance today.... I just don't have time" - the most common remarks you hear people say in regards to exercising.  Yes, nowadays people seem so busy they barely seem to have time to sit and have a cup of coffee, but what is the reason for this?  We all need to do our jobs, some work more hours than others, but no matter who you are or what your life entails, we all have to set aside time for ourselves each day, even if it is only 10 minutes... Too often people let life consume them, hours, days, and years pass  by because life becomes monotonous and stress builds and people look back and remember how only 3 years ago they were much healthier and looking better; people remember they used to make time to take care of themselves.  This small amount of time you take out of your day is worth so much more than the maybe 10-60 minutes it takes; it is worth your overall well-being mentally, emotionally, and physically.  Everyone can find time somewhere, whether it be waking up a little earlier, spending less time sitting on the computer, phone, reading a magazine; it is almost impossible to have every single moment of your days completely and mandatory to be filled, everyone can find the time somewhere if they make it a priority.


The easiest way to make sure you get exercise in to your day is to make a set schedule for yourself like an appointment you cannot cancel; make it your biggest, most important meeting because at the end of the day and in the reality of your life, the most important things are not how many papers you can file or sales you can make; it is your wellbeing and your health. 

Even if you cannot physically make time to get to the gym and back home or to work you can work out in your home, even if you have no workout equipment!  If you don't know where to begin there are so many programs to follow now whether it be written workouts, virtual training, DVDs, books, trainers coming in to your home - you can find a way to do it, you just have to set your mind to make the commitment!

g, Let's throw out some more numbers... Here is a site to look at:Read More http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/PDF/dgm/report1/basiccon.pdf This is the Connecticut State Department of Education Bureau of Grants Management spreadsheet. It shows and compares what Danbury is paying per student compared to the rest of the state. Looking at the numbers, out of the 170+ districts in the state, Danbury pays the 8th LEAST amount per pupil. Out of the 10 districts in Connecticut that have over 10,000 students, Danbury ranks 2nd LOWEST in the state. This amount is about $3,000 less per pupil than the average of the state and the average of districts with 10,000+ students.

Good afternoon Jessica, Danbury plans to spend approximately $114,000,000 on teaching staff salaryRead More and benefits for the next school year per the school budget here - http://www.danbury.k12.ct.us/bbadmin/Budget/2012-2013%20budget.pdf the total budget is $121,000,000. Teachers, administrators, contracted professionals, staff enrichment programs, staff insurance, and the rest comprise about 95% of the school system budget. See staff cost summary on page 8 of the report. You'll also note our board of education plans to spend a bit more than 3 million dollars on supplies and materials plus a million on equipment. The budget represents a 5% increase from the prior year. On our district home page - http://www.danbury.k12.ct.us/ it says Danbury has 10,300 my calculator tells me that's about $12,000 per child in the district. With $12,000 per child, why are teachers paying for supplies? Hmm ... let me think ... 95% of the budget goes to staff salary and benefits for the long 185 day year .... I have a guess where the money goes. Do you?
