The Guide to Being Healthy



 
The Three Elements
  • Endurance is developed when someone regularly engages in aerobic activity (aerobic means "with air"). During aerobic exercise, the heart beats faster and a person breathes harder. When done regularly and for continuous periods of time, aerobic activity strengthens the heart and improves the body's ability to deliver oxygen to all its cells. Some examples of aerobic activities include: soccer, in-line skating, bicycling, basketball, swimming, jogging, tennis, walking and running.
  • Improving strength doesn't have to mean lifting weights. Push-ups, stomach crunches, pull-ups, and other exercises help tone and strengthen muscles.
  • Stretching exercises help improve flexibility, allowing muscles and joints to bend and move easily through their full range of motion.
