We went to Energize Fitness Studio in West Newton and met the owner, Rachel Kobey. She spoke to us about how important it is to stay in shape. We learned that there are many benefits to exercise, such as being healthy at an old age. You are also more creative and have a better memory if you keep exercise in your schedule. We got to experience the trampoline and participate as if she was our personal trainer, which was a lot of fun. We'd like to thank Rachel for teaching us about exercise. We all enjoyed ourselves and learned about healthy habits!

During Transitions, we went on a site visit to Brandeis University for a very informational lecture from Dawn Skope about health and nutrition. She discussed many different topics with us including healthy eating, breathing techniques, and the importance of good sleep. I learned that getting at least 6 hours of sleep every night is crucial for a more productive and energized day. We would like to thank Dawn for a very helpful discussion.
