I know you pay a lot of attention to exercise in your daily life. Could you tell me something about exercise?
OK. I'm just interested in exercise. The importance of exercise is nothing new. Thomas Jefferson once wrote that to be successful and academic studies, a person should give about 2 hours everyday to exercise.
2 hours every day? I can't do that.
Most experts today do not demand 2 hours of daily exercise. They recommend that people get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity most days of the week.
How does exercise do good to our health?
For example, brisk walking, jogging and swimming are easy ways to boost your heart rate and promote your health. Exercise can also help to lower blood pressure and counter stress. For women, exercise that makes the body and bones bear weight, like walking or running may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
Are there other benefits of doing exercise?
You'll probably discover a subtler benefit of exercise as well. Greater self confidence, this may make it easier for you to participate in class and help you do well in academic and social situations.
