You Tube.....
You tube is absolutely brimming with videos of silly stunts and cats gone crazy, but if you look there are educational videos posted, you just have to find them. Or better yet, make your own and post it on you tube with appropriate Tags (which according to wikipedia is, 'a keyword or term associated with or assigned to a piece of information') and let someone else come along and find it.
Below is a video I found of children of different ages explaining the importance of HPE. Showing a video as simple as this could show your students that kids do like HPE, especially if you have a few in the class who aren't interested. From what I can tell it is just a few children telling the camera their honest opinions of HPE which would support the integration of HPE in the classrooom.

How true your comments are about the usefulness of video for HPE. I believe the video of Stephen Bradbury winning the ice skating event in the winter olympics is another great example. This particular video gives a most powerful message to all never to give up even when things look hopeless. I would love to have attached the video as you so cleverly have in your blog but I am still working through being able to master this. The video is in YouTube and is a great piece of footage!
I know what you mean Meryl, Although some children might think that it is a very funny clip, through some explanation a greater understanding of the work involved to reach that point would assist them to understand how hard it really is.
