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, and merely 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 may also help prevent stress and depression, help to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, improve mental health generally, and can augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which has been 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. Some care providers call exercise the "miracle" or "wonder" drug—alluding to the wide variety of benefits that it can provide for many individuals.
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
