The common problem of today’s children is how to keep their bodies physically fit. Staying long hours at the phones, tv’s, and computers keep their body in stagnant positions and thus increasing the risk of health problems.
It’s never too late for a child like you to get into physical activity. To start with, get your butt of the couch, turn off that phone, the tv, and computer, and instead, work on your studies and get some physical activities. This is the best way to spend a weekend or holidays for children and students like you. It is important so you can keep your body and mind healthy. Without physical activity, we wouldn’t fell or look good. It’s time to get right into it and see why it’s cool to be fit.
You may ask, what’s in it for me? or how cool it is? Well, these are the several things you benefit with physical activity:
1.Happy as a bee. To feel happy, try to be as active as you can be. Because being active is a most excellent way to fell happy, whether you do it on your own or with a group. If you worried a lot about school, or had a tough day at school, a fight with your friend, or just fell kind of blue or stressed out, moving your body can help you relax and feel better.
2.Breathe deep. You tend to breathe better when you are in to physical activity. This helps bring more air into your lungs, and your brain likes extra oxygen. This way, you can think better and clearer and always makes those positive decisions.
3.Less worry. Being physically fit and stay active, it will keep you off the things that are bothering you. It will make you fell better about yourself, too.
4.Figure conscious. Growing kids tends to become overweight; therefore physical activity can also keep your weight healthy. Every time you eat food, your body does the same thing: it “eats” the nutrients in the food as fuel. These nutrients you burn in your body through physical activity give you energy. If the body is not able to use all the calories that are coming from the food, it stores them as fat. Physical activity helps keep your weight right for your height by burning up extra calories. When you are active, your body uses that extra fuel to keep you going strong.
5.Keeps your heart pumping. Physical activity also makes your heart happy. Since your heart is the hardest-working muscle in your body, you need to exercise to help it pump your blood normally through your body. Aside from these, physical activities make you stronger. As your muscles get stronger, you can do more active things for longer periods of time. And strong muscles also help protect you from injuries when you play because they give better support to your joints. Joint is where your bones meet.
6.Flexible body. Are you flexible enough to touch your toes easily without yelling “ouch”? If so, you’re pretty flexible which means you can bend and stretch your body without too much trouble. Being active will also make you flexible. But as people get older, they tend to get less flexible, so that’s why it’s important to be active when you’re a kid – to stay flexible. When you are flexible, you can play harder without having to worry about getting sprained and strained muscles. Remember, it’s very easy to find other things to do if you are flexible.
Being physically fit is important. You can eat good food but you also have to move your body to keep it strong. Many of the active game you like to play are good exercises. Swimming, running, skating, walking, bicycling, dancing, and jumping rope are all good ways to keep it. Sitting in front of a television set won’t even exercise your eyes! You need to move everyday. Take a walk to music. Pick some of your favorite music and make up some dance movement to it.
And lastly, getting into physical activity doesn’t mean you will have to work hard and force your muscles. You can actually do it with fun. Playing sports and doing exercises are enough to keep you physically fit. So, why not try it today because it’s never been too late.
