Exercise is very good for your body and mind. The most important
thing is that it burns up extra energy. This extra energy is normally
stored as fat. So if you’re exercising every day, this won’t go on as
extra weight.
Being active also keeps your muscles flexible, works
out your heart and lungs and gets the blood going to the brain! It helps
you to digest your food better and helps you to sleep better.
Another big benefit of exercise is that it makes you
feel good! This is because when your body is active it makes chemicals
called endorphins.
These chemicals help your mood and give you a feeling
of well-being. Chocolate also produces endorphins, which is why you can
feel good after munching on a bar.
Just think how much better it would be to get the feeling from doing something healthy instead!
So exercise makes you feel good about yourself. This puts you on the path to greater self-esteem and super confidence!
