Exercise for health

Every one knows that exercise is good for you. It makes your muscles strong. It keeps your heart healthy, and it keeps you fit. But many of us have false ideas about how exercise actually helps us. This is what I want to talk about.

Does exercise help only those parts of the body which you exercise ? No. For instance, if you want to make your waist and stomach. You must exercise your whole body, including the waist. Then you will lose weight from all over your body, including your waist. How often do you need to exercise ? Scientist have found that to keep muscles healthy, you must exercise at least every second day. You won’t keep yourself fit if you only exercise once or twice a week.

Is walking as good as running ? Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. It makes the blood move throughout your whole body and it makes you feel good. Did you know that if you run or walk for a kilometer, you are carrying the same weight over the same distance.

To keep yourself fit, you should exercise for about 20 minutes a day. Some people tell me that exercise makes them bored. True, it may not make you excited or improve your good qualities, but it will keep you healthy and help you live a longer life.
