Summary
FIELD DAY TO THE EXTREME!
Field Day at James Tovar Middle School is supposed to be fun. However, for Jack, Skye, and Darryl, it turns out to be everything but fun. Skye could not finish the jump rope rally, Jack could barely climb one foot up the rock-climbing wall, and Darryl was absolutely no competition for Hogarth in the 100-yard dash. Stunned, embarrassed and a little confused, our three competitors look to Trevor to find out what exactly happened at the field day games.
TIPS FOR BECOMING FUN-ERGIZED!
Coach Trevor Romain issues a 30-day fitness challenge to Jack and his buddies while explaining to them the importance of a healthy lifestyle. During the challenge, they learn that physical activity and healthy eating habits are not only good for you but fun as well. Jack, Skye and Darryl prove to Coach Trevor, and more importantly to themselves, that taking better care of your body improves the quality of your life and your performance in school and on the field.

Reviews
Undoubtedly there is many a movie out there that aims to get kids off the couch and onto the field, but this one has a gentle touch that successfully steers kids, without pushing them, into a lifestyle of better physical and mental fitness. The guise of a high-school field day, staged ESPN-style with a human sports commentator (Trevor Romain) and cartoon kids (Jack, Sky and friends), is a good approach. Instead of preaching to kids to get out there and exercise because it's good for them, the set up allows them to see that a healthy lifestyle is a good challenge, for the mind and the body. The kids' training program incorporates helpful hints that even the most sedentary child can employ--do jumping jacks while listening to your favorite music, or run up a hill and roll down. The dialog is particularly pleasant--it's smart and thoughtful, and doesn't resort to the wisecracks, sarcasm and poor grammar that some teens are wont to use.
Showing this DVD to younger students at school will go jumpstart a lifelong lesson that taking better care of your body improves the quality of your life and performance in school and on the field.
