Sitting at a desk in a classroom all day can be pretty boring.

The teachers at Ward Elementary in Winston –Salem，North Carolina ，picked up on that and traded in their studen ts’desks for exercise bikes as a part of their Read and Ride program!

The Read and Ride program began five years ago．One classroom has enough bikes for every student in any given class，and throughout the day teachers bring in their students to the room to ride them and read their books．

Even regular classrooms have one bike in the back of each room for students who just can’t sit still to use to help them burn energy in a good way．

Students love being more active!Teachers enjoy seeing students eager to read．Parents appreciate stronger，smarter children．Headmasters value this effective and cost-free program．“Riding exercise bikes makes reading fun for many kids who get frustrated(挫败的)when they read．Thus，they have a way to release that frustration while they ride，”said Scott Ertl，who started the program．“As we can see，everyone wants to promote literacy and lose weight!But many students who are overweight struggle with sports and activities since they don’t want to always be the last or lose with others watching on the playground．On exercise bikes，however，students are able to exert(发挥)themselves at their own level—without anyone noticing when they slow down or take a break．”

As it turns out，not only are the bikes helping the students burn calories，they’re also helping them learn better and stay focused．At the end of the school year the school analyzed testing data and found that students that spent more time reading and riding did more than twice as well on reading tests than their fellow students who spent the least time in the program．

Laresce was born with a condition called hypermobility(运动过度)which meant her joints were “bend”．The condition can use severe joint pain and lead to dislocations(脱臼)．

But rather than feel sorry for herself,she used her misfortune to inspire her to become Britain's strongest schoolgirl．

Just two years ago，the condition left Laresce in so much pain that she couldn’t even take part in sports．But now she has six British and World Champion powerlifting records．It’s an incredible achievement．

Laresce’s trainer Tania George said her condition is the secret to her success．“She has more flexibility in her back than most people，which gives her the technique of bending her back strongly and safely．Most powerlifters would kill to try to bend their backs like Laresce．She has perfected the technique to lift incredibly heavy weights，”Tania said．

“I used to suffer a lot of pain from my hypermobility．I remember coming home from school with pains in my knees，joints and hips．It would stop me doing normal things at schoo1．The pain would be so much that some nights I couldn't sleep at all and I just couldn’t face goi ng to school like that．And after each dislocation，I had to do six months of physiotherapy(理疗)to recover,”said Laresce．

However,since taking up the sport of powerlifting 18 months ago she is now effectively cured．“really enjoyed the feeling of power I got and the excitement of people encouraging me to do my very best，”she said．

“I’ve made lots of friends a It’s an incredible feeling when everyone's cheering me on．It’s the support of other people that makes the difference to winning．Becoming a champion was a big surprise—I just started off for fun and wasn’t expecting anything．So to win six titles over just a few months was
