Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health or wellness. It is performed for various reasons. These include strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, and can even augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which again is also linked with higher levels of self-esteem. Childhood obesity is a growing global concern and physical exercise may help decrease the effects of childhood obesity in developed countries. ClassificationFrom Wikipedia under the

Well there are lot's of physical activities available out there, my favorite s jogging, see the advantages of jogging is that it helps improve your leg muscles to a healthy amount( you wont go swollen) when you run allot you notice that you breathe really fast, so you are really working your lungs and you will also increase your long capacity, so when you go to the pool you can go on the 14ft end and last a while down there without getting the need for more oxygen.,jogging also helps improve your bones since every time you land on them you're putting pressure wearing your bones out slowly, forcing your body to put more calcium in them to make them stronger(basically what yoga does). you could also try competitive swimming which works on… [cont.] Answered by lozer_123 - Sat Sep 5 11:34:57 2009 Ladies: Can your menstrual cycle be altered by physical activity?

Answered by curious - Tue Sep 29 17:13:40 2009 Why do some people assume that young girls don't need physical activity too?
Q. We hear a lot about boys not being given the opportunity for physical activity in schools. But what about girls? Is it not equally important for girls to be able to run around and play? Eoghan - so just because boys shout the loudest, they should receive all the attention? Just because girls are quieter doesn't mean they don't suffer from lack of an 'outlet' and don't benefit from physical activity. Asked by sam - Sun Jul 27 09:57:22 2008 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes - I agree. When I was at School, it was always the boys that played some kind of sport in our recess and lunch breaks, not the girls. Why?... Because it comes more 'naturally' to boys, and the reason for this is because from a very young age, sport is bred in to the 'culture', the lives of boys. I have very often seen Dad's at the park with thier sons, teaching them abou the rules of rugby, or soccer, cricket... Why don't they teach their daughter's too? Maybe then little girls would feel more confident in having a go at School! I know myself I wanted to muck around and play with the guys but often I wouldn't because I didn't know the rules and didn't wan to be picked on by the boys for making mistakes. It's part of male culture… [cont.] Answered by Cool - Sun Jul 27 19:40:26 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "physical activity"  kdka.com Fri, 07 Dec 2007 00:00:00 PST ...talks about the benefits of getting your kids moving, and how you can help make physical activity a part of their everyday lives. kdka.com.  icyou.com Thu, 11 Sep 2008 17:00:00 PDT of those activities in this video. ... burning 150 calories health tip lose weight moderate physical activity health tip lose weight moderate ... icyou.com.
