Teacher Survival

Physical Education: Looking Good in and out of School

By. Craig Perrier

Like many schools across the United States, the system I work for has been experiencing elevated numbers of teacher absences and diminishing numbers of substitutes willing to step into our schools.  To fill those needs we have been covering classes as time permits during the day.  This month our physical education department experienced simultaneous sickness.  In turn, I added to my repertoire and got a chance to teach in a classroom much different from the one I am used to.

Knowing I was going to be in a gym motivated me to take a look at my current state of athletic gear. On the negative side, there was some work to do.  On the positive, side this was a great reason to go shopping! The Educators Marketplace is a great place to start! The shopping list includes what I added to my wardrobe and some additional inspirations for the school, home, or gym you belong to.

  • Everlast: I  added a heavy bag to my home gym this year, and I love it.  Get 15% off at Everlast and unleash your inner Rocky!
  • Altra: The company was founded with a desire to find a better shoe for road and trail running. Altra is also the first shoe company to introduce an entire line of truly female specific shoes.
  • Total Gym: They make an entire gym full of equipment in 1 machine! Moreover, it is great for all demographics-ages 8-80 and from beginner to advanced fitness levels. Everyone has the opportunity to start off with our 30-Day Trial with free shipping
  • Skis.com: Ski season is still here! Shop a great selection and save 20% on your first order!
  • Framed Bikes: They believe in a few basic things: Two wheels are better than four (and one), Nothing makes you feel like a kid again more than riding a bike. A good bike doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Get free shipping and save 5% on your purchase.

Looking good, like great teaching, comes with effort and focus.  Up your game with these, and other deals, and make 2022 the best ever!
