If your muscles are strong, you will be able to run, walk and carry things more easily. Strength exercises can work specific muscles in your body like your stomach, arm or leg muscles. Sit-ups are an example of a strength exercise that strengthens your stomach muscles. After you exercise, you should do stretching exercises to help cool down your muscles and heart. Stretching exercises done after exercise will help you keep your muscles healthy.
Exercise is an important part of fitness, but good eating habits are important, too.
If you eat foods from the four main food groups and drink about 6 to 8 glasses of water every day, you are giving your body what it needs to work and grow. If you don't have good eating habits and eat lots of junk food, your body may not be as healthy or feel as good as it could. Think about it. If you continue to eat right and exercise, your body can be healthy, happy and fit your whole life. Inc. This information is for educational use only.
