8. What are the pros and cons of keeping fit?
Health and fitness go hand in hand and every town and city has gyms, health clubs and sports centres available for people to use. Nevertheless, does keeping fit have more benefits than pitfalls in today's society?
One point of view in favour of keeping fit is that it helps maintain a balanced weight. This is important because being overweight can cause many health problems such as high blood pressure and stress on the joints. What is more, keeping fit means that you will be able to do more activities easily. For example, people who are unfit get tired and out of breath doing simple things. Finally, a good overall level of fitness helps to maintain a healthy body as exercise is good for the heart and lungs.
Nevertheless, there are also some disadvantages. One disadvantage is that keeping fit can be expensive. Memberships to gyms and health clubs often cost a lot of money. Another disadvantage is that it is often difficult to fit exercise into our hectic lifestyles. Our daily schedules are often so busy that we don't have the time to exercise regularly.
All things considered, some moderate exercise every day has a great number of benefits. How and when we exercise is up to us, but keeping fit is essential for good health.
