The Importance of Physical Exercise

Each of us has a physical body made up of muscles, blood, bones and various other living tissues. Exercising the body is one way of keeping it healthy. If we do not exercise then our muscles become weaker and we are less able to do things properly. Also the bones can become weaker and thus break easily.

There are many types of exercises that we may participate in We may play badminton, football, volley ball or whatever games that we like. We may also jog, walk, or swim. Older folk prefer less strenuous exercises like Tai Chi, Yoga or a leisurely stroll in the park. For the really fit young people, there are rock-climbing, gymnastics and other physically demanding activities.

We exercise to keep our body healthy. However, there are some who overdo things and end up by injuring themselves. It is fine to jog for a few kilometers but it is madness to jog until we are fully exhausted. Also there are people who become addicted to their exercises. They become unhappy when they are unable to exercise or when they lose to someone in a competition.

Exercise is important but neither extreme is good. It is upto us to what extent we should be sensible towards exercising.
