Exercises can greatly improve our health and is beneficial to our whole being. There are many interesting exercises we can choose too.
Exercising regularly can benefit our health in different aspects. It can make the heart stronger. While exercising, the heart has to pump in and out oxygen more frequently and forcefully to supply oxygen for energy generation. Thus, the heart will have a higher efficiency. Over time, the cardiovascular exercises can greatly train up our heart and prevent us from developing heart diseases.
Furthermore, doing exercises is a healthy means of keeping us fit. Nowadays, many people are concerned about their body figure and want to be slim. To shed weight, the most efficient way is to increase your energy consumption. Everyone needs to take in a certain amount of calories to maintain our daily activities. If the intake is greater than the consumption, fat will accumulate and weight will be gained. Aerobic exercises can burn excess fat away and keep our weight at a stable level.
Better still, doing exercises regularly can increase our muscular strength and endurance. Regular exercises can keep our muscle cells in a healthier state and it is crucial to our school life. As we all know, studying is hard work. We should have both physical and psychological stamina as we handle the plentiful homework and exams. Good physical training can benefit our studies.
