Jeff Allen and Agata Hildalgo from the Healthy Lifestyle Program came to visit our school on Wednesday the 6th and Thursday the 7th of September . They came to our school to talk about food nutrition and fitness . Jeff is based in Waterford and is a veteran of the Irish Permanent Defence Force . He has participated in sports and trained various teams . Meanwhile Agata is a nutritional therapist and has also done reflexology .
Over the course of the 2 days we competed in seven games called the Hunter Games . There were five teams of nine who all competed for a cup and individual medals . We participated in tug of war , shuttle runs , group relays , eliminator , team relays , knock out and a grand finale .
They taught us about : 1 . exercise 2 . diet 3 . sleep 4 . friends & family 5 . work 6 . relaxation
Agata thought us about the different types of food we should be eating before and after exercise and why we should be eating them . She also taught us about our bodies and what foods produce energy and use it fastest . Jeff taught us how to correctly work and grow as a group .
I learned what foods you should eat in the morning to give you energy and fuel you throughout the day . I also learned what type of exercises benefit weight loss , building muscle , etc. The Healthy Lifestyle Program has motivated me to start eating healthy and to start exercising more . I enjoyed participating in the different activities and really enjoyed the two days doing the Healthy Lifestyle Program .
