Reflection on JFK on physical fitness video:

What I learned about JFK was that physical fitness is important for everyone no matter your age or gender. We all need physical activity to be strong and healthy. He gave us advice when he said that physical fitness is the key to help us live longer. He wants everyone to interact in doing exercise because he cares about his people. I promise to eat healthy, exercise (because I really don’t, at all), stay away from drugs and alcohol and stay positive. I will do this for my own good so I can stay strong and live longer.
