Reply to comment by knit3purl3 in Research suggests that school-based physical activity intervention, by way of increasing physical exercise classes to daily during school, is successful in reducing childhood obesity. Scientists found that obesity was reversed after 3 years. by Wagamaga

MONTHS of indoor recess? Excuse me, what? As a Minnesotan that sounds insane to me. We had outdoor recess all year, even in the snow, unless there was freezing rain or frostbite-inducing wind chills. We brought snow pants and boots.

Do they at least get indoor recess in a gym? Or do they have to go back to sitting at their desks? Oh these poor children…

In the classroom. So coloring, building blocks, etc. Quiet, creative play.

Apparently some dumb hick hunters were shooting guns too close to the school so they have no outdoor recess during active hunting seasons now. And then the weather is too cold.
