TMan Fit-N-Learn LLC

 

           It’s no secret that the one-third of children and two-thirds of adults in the United states are obese or overweight.  As a Physical Education teacher for over 30 years, Tom Mandara has a vision to do his part to help get this epidemic under control.  He created “Plus 5 Fitnees” for elementary schools to use for daily classroom exercise.

                                                                

            The program is simple.  The twenty different routines, on CD and illustrated instruction booklets, are taught to the students by a PE teacher one week before the routine is performed in the classroom.  The routine is then done by the whole school over the PA system whenever the time is right for them.  Studies show some added benefits in academic achievement from classroom exercise.  What better way to teach students the importance of daily exercise than to have it modeled with their homeroom teacher.

           

                                                            

            The entire package (music, voice, illustrations) was created by teachers.  The program has been well received at the NYSAHPERD and CWZ conference.   There are nine schools in New York state that have made a commitment to this program and we have even branched out into a school in Virginia.

            The journey of starting a business was completely foreign to me.  By attending SCORE workshops and consulting with SCORE counselors they have pointed me in the right direction and guided me through the process of establishing a business.  I have found their expertise to be invaluable.
