If you haven't checked
yourself out lately maybe it is time you did. Physical
fitness is more than going to gym class or playing
in a competitive game. It affects the way you look
and move. Imagine for a minute that you are in danger.
Will you have the strength or endurance to get away
from the danger?
Sports or athletics
offer one way to become physically fit but they are
not the only road to fitness. Lifetime sports, such
as walking, hiking, biking, dancing, swimming, cross
country skiing, roller skating, tennis and racquetball
are other activities that can be enjoyed now and as
you grow older. Only two out of 100 kids who play
in organized sports now will still be playing that
sport when they are 21.
Your body is designed
to run and move. There are many physical skills to
use throughout your lifetime. Perhaps it's time to
develop some activities that you like and enjoy.
If you ask Ferni why you should
be physically active, Ferni would tell you that it
will keep you in shape and feeling good. When things
aren't quite right sometimes it helps to go for a
walk or a quick game of shooting baskets. Even working
in the garden is good physical activity. You'll build
a "can do" attitude. If you develop skills
to tackle a certain activity, you'll feel good sharing
and showing that activity to others.
