          IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE

Children exercise all the time without even thinking about it. Just being active is a kind of exercise. Playing sports, dancing, doing push-ups, and even reaching down to touch toes are forms of exercise.

When you exercise, you are building a strong body that is able to move around and do everything it wants to do. If you are active every day, be sure your body will thank you one day!

When you are activate, your body requires extra calories or energy. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it gets stored as excess fats. This fat accumulates, making you obese or overweight.
