UC Cooperative Extension nutrition educators brought a bicycle-powered blender to two Tulare County elementary schools yesterday to present lessons on physical activity and eating right, according to an article in the Visalia Times-Delta.
As a student pedaled furiously, the children suggested ingredients to add to the blender whirring above the back wheel.
UCCE nutrition educator Julie Cates and Network for a Healthy California physical activity specialist Starr Cloyd also demonstrated yoga moves they called "the standing carrot-stick," "the folding quesadilla" and "the apple tree."
"[We] try to teach people how to be active without going to the gym," Cloyd was quoted.
The nutrition and physical activity lesson is offered in schools where 50 percent or more of the students live in households with income at or below the federal poverty level, the story said.
