Play time can also become a family experience which serves to bond family members together and allow adult members an opportunity to model healthy exercise habits for children. Exercise also helps young children develop a healthy self-image and positive self-esteem as they take pride in their physical accomplishments. The exhilaration that comes with running, laughing, and playing can also boost a child's mood. This leads to one of the most important reasons kids should play outside: its fun! When children do exercise it can benefit from regular exercise because if they are active they will have stronger muscles and bones.
For example, regular brisk walking can help you: • Maintain a healthy weight • Prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes • Strengthen your bones • Lift your mood • Improve your balance and coordination The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. Walking and biking are both excellent forms of cardiovascular exercise which, when performed regularly, can ward off disease, shed pounds, improve mental outlook and reduce the likelihood of dying young. Each have their merits and drawbacks, and which is the best choice for you largely depends upon what you'll enjoy doing most, the health of your joints and how much weight you'd like to lose. “Like walking, biking is low-impact and easy. It's also fun, and according to NutriStrategy, burns a lot of calories - significantly more than brisk walking.” (Bigelow) You’d be forgiven for wondering but stair climbing can have a significant and positive impact on an individual’s health over time.
We all know that exercise can sustain and improve our health, which is necessary for living a life of wellness, but what is not always known is how exercise can affect other aspects of our lives. Exercise is not only physical, it is also psychological. Exercise can do more for a person than just help them lose a few pounds, or maintain a healthy weight. Exercise controls weight. Most weight loss programs will not work without an exercise routine along with a structured diet plan.
Also the ability of the body healing itself without medicine is improved. Health If you lead a healthy lifestyle it can have a massive affect on your health. If you’re doing what’s needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle such as doing daily activites, eating healthier foods and drinking lots of water it can have a very positive affect on your whole body. Doing daily activites can benefit your health by strengthening your bones. If you go on running activites this can and has been proven to fight against the aging process and prevents muscle and bone loss that normally occur with age.
2. Why is the warm-up phase of your training program important? The warm-up phase is important because it will reduce the risk of injury. Warm-up activities gradually increase your heart rate which increases blood flow. Warm-up activities also give you time to focus your thoughts and emotions on how you will perform.

The Three Elements of Fitness If you've ever watched kids on a playground, you've seen the three elements of fitness in action when they: run away from the kid who's "it" (endurance) cross the monkey bars (strength) bend down to tie their shoes (flexibility) Parents should encourage their kids to do a variety of activities so that they can work on all three elements. (http://kidshealth.org/parent/nutrition_center/staying_fit/exercise.html# ) However if children do aerobic exercise then the heart can beat faster and the child wild breathe harder. So if the child has done exercise for a long period of time then the aerobic activity can strengthen the heart and improves the body’s ability that can deliver oxygen to all the child’s cells.
***** 1 **** ***** ****** ********* ENGL 1101 March 24, 2013 The Effects of Exercise Exercise has countless effects on the human body and it plays an imperative role in one’s overall health and well-being. It provides numerous benefits for both the physical and psychological well-being. Exercise is something that can be done by individuals to help make them feel better overall. People exercise for many different reasons, for example: losing weight, defining muscle tone, or physical and/or psychological disease control and prevention. The most noticeable effect of exercise is weight loss.
Furthermore, if the student exercises on a regular basis, he or she begins a schedule. Schedules are often effective in treatment of depression symptoms because they allow for organization of the day. Exercise helps to improve the student’s physical health. Many depression symptoms can be alleviated through the improvement of health. In fact, some depression symptoms are caused by health issues.
Lastly, exercise increases macrophage production, salivary immunoglobulin A, and increase immune cell circulation improving the function of the immune system. Psychologically, they diminish anxiety and depression, control stress and minimize its negative effects on the body, improve self-esteem, self-concept, and body image, and improve cognition and problem solving. There are two types of fitness, aerobic fitness and muscular fitness, with their own benefits. Aerobic fitness pushes your body and forces it to adapt to adapt to the overload that the exercise is causing when trying to complete continuous tasks. This will later enable you to participate in harder workouts and exercise in the future.
Some coaches even require that their team participate in specialized training. Therefore, doing these things either on a daily basis or at least a few times per week will result in forming good habits. “A habit is a practice that you engage in on a regular basis” (Clarke; livestrong.com). Developing healthy habits lays the foundation for routine and also has a big impact on emotional fitness. It allows for good mental health and a restful sleep, which helps avoid depression (Clarke; livestrong.com) I, myself have witnessed this first hand.
