, According to the NHS, children and youngadults need to do 2 types of physical activity
each week: Aerobic exercises, and exercises
to strengthen their muscles and bones.
Children and young adults should aim for an
average of at least 60 minutes of moderate
intensity physical activity a day across the
week.
Exercise - NHS
Benefits of regular exercise include:
Reduces your risk of a heart attack, helps you lose
weight, lowers your blood cholesterol level, lowers
the risk of type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
Regular exercise also helps develop bone, muscle
and joint strength, which reduces the risk of
developing osteoporosis and arthritis.
During exercise, the body releases chemicals
called endorphins, which trigger a positive feeling
in the body, and can make you feel happy.
Daily exercise does not have to be intense,
daily activities like swimming, jogging, walking,
cycling are good exercises to keep fit, as long
as you do it for an hour everyday.
Playing a sport can also help a lot with
physical health, as well as mental and social
health as you’ll be part of a team and
communicating with new people.
