In Trek Across America what we want to accomplish is to stay fit and perky. We also want to do this because you’re helping our school, Central. As you know you’re helping Central staying fit but also having fun. This is an activity where while you are burning calories you can have fun walking, jogging or running. Many people don’t walk enough. With this program as I said you can have fun and stay fit.
Benefits of Regular Activity
|
Regular activity has a number of proven, positive health effects, especially on heart health. Vigorous exercise strengthens the heart as a pump, making it a larger, more efficient muscle. Even moderate activity can boost HDL ("good") cholesterol, aid the circulatory system, and lower blood pressure and blood fats. All these effects translate into reduced risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Exercise can also offer other benefits, including strengthened muscles, increased flexibility, and stronger bones, which can help ward off the bone-thinning condition called osteoporosis. Regular activity also promises mental-health benefits, like relieving stress and anxiety. It can help you sleep better and renew your energy. If exercise could be bottled, it would be a best-selling potion at the local pharmacy. |
Cardiovascular exercise, such as swimming, walking, running, biking, ice skating, cross country skiing, improves the strength of the heart muscle. When the strength of the heart increases, the heart functions better.
