DEFINITION

An Exercise is a planned physical activity for training the body to remain healthy.

I love engaging in exercises from time to time because it guarantees healthy living for me. Among the second requirements for good health after Diet is Exercise before Rest, therefore everyone living must take part in exercising for the benefit of good health. You need a simple dressing to start. Wear a comfortable sports wear and your sneekers.

Most people thought that taking regular exercise will make them to loose weight and look skinny, so some have the notion that it is only meant for people who are obese or the ‘Big Size’ group. I always prove them wrong because I am not overweight hence I exercise often just to remain physically fit and healthy.

Twist your body

I have witnessed so many people who lack regular exercise with a lot of health challenges. Heart disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis and diabetes not to talk of Hypertension, has plagued a lot of people for not taking part in regular physical exercise.

Lift yourself up from the floor

If you have not been engaging in regular physical exercise, its high time to choose any form of exercise that will be good for your age and physical make up. On the other hand, consult your doctor if you are undergoing a health challenge presently to get good advice on a suitable form of exercise to engage in.
