Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, as well as for the purpose of enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self esteem, and can even augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which is also found to be linked with higher levels of self esteem.Childhood obesity is a growing global concern and physical exercise may help decrease some of the effects of childhood and adult obesity. Health care providers often call exercise the "miracle" or "wonder" drug—alluding to the wide variety of proven benefits that it provides.
Take it easy or you?ll hurt yourself
Dance that couch across the floor
You?ll sprain your wrist
The rug will burn your knees
Is there an exercise for that?
Find a way to brace yourself
Your heart?s a muscle and that?s all
There?s no way that love can help
Your twisted ankles when you fall
Entertain a love that?s always late
Jumping jacks could ease your mind
Folding sweat suits with a knotted hand
You can almost touch your toes
Find a way to brace yourself
Your heart?s a muscle and that?s all
There?s no way that love can help
Your twisted ankles when you fall
Take it easy or you?ll hurt yourself
Dance that couch across the floor
You?ll sprain your wrists
The rug will burn your knees
