5. Being Unfit How will being unfit harm him?

What about fat?
It is quite natural for us all to carry some fat.
Fat is one of our energy stores.
Calories that we have taken in, if not used, will be turned to fat as a store.
You need to make sure that you exercise enough to be able to use up the calories you take in.
This lady is not really carrying a lot of fat, but if you are, the first answer is exercise rather than a diet.
A healthy diet may be the only diet you need.

Some girls especially, say they do not like to exercise because it gives you big muscles.
This man Steve is a body builder he is an exception because all he wants are big muscles.
He has developed a physique that he wants for his activity but his all round fitness may not be so good.
Most people would benefit from light strength exercise that develop muscle tone.
Muscle tone is the ability of our muscles to hold our body in a good shape.

What exercise could you do to develop muscle tone? *

9. Muscular Endurance
Part of Steve’s problem could be a lack of muscular endurance.
Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to work over a long period of time without tiring.
Swimming, cycling, walking and some aerobics sessions help develop muscular and cardiovascular endurance.
This type of exercise gives you more energy for everyday life.
It is also an excellent way of controlling your weight. *

10. Flexibility
Stretching and exercises like yoga, dance, aerobics or gymnastics all help to make you supple and give you a good range of movement.
Becoming more supple and agile will make you more attractive.
Look at someone who has good posture and control. Their balance, the way they hold themselves and move make them more attractive to the opposite sex.
Flexibility and range of movement is important as people get older.
If people don’t retain flexibility even simple tasks like dressing become difficult. *

11. Coordination and Timing
If you feel clumsy and awkward exercise and sport can help.
Many ball sports help your coordination and reactions.
Good timing means using your senses and muscle control together such as in hand eye coordination.
If someone has poor coordination it will be noticeable in their everyday lives.
Test - try returning a tennis ball as many times as possible off a wall 2 metres away for 30 seconds.*

12. Your Heart and Lungs
In Science you will have learnt about the cardiovascular system.
Exercise helps develop and improve the efficiency of your heart.
All aerobic exercise including a brisk walk will help improve your lung capacity.
A healthy heart and lungs makes all activity easier and you will live longer.

13. Heart Disease Taking part in sport encourages good health.
Poor diet and lack of exercise can increase blood pressure.
Fats can collect in the arteries making them narrower.
The heart works harder to pump the blood around.
This can lead to a heart attack.*

14. Why is Blood Pressure Important?
The blood is put under pressure by the beating action of the heart.
High blood pressure can cause a stroke or heart attack.

If you are taking less than 1 hour light exercise a day (preferably with 30 minutes of vigorous exercise that pushes your heart rate up to 120 bpm.) then you are not getting enough exercise.
Think of 5 people you know of different ages then outline how they could take more exercise and how they would benefit. *
