Sports to Stay Healthy

Overview

Some sports that can help you stay healthy are low cost and highly effective at getting you into
shape. Many participate in sports because it is fun but there are also a number of health benefits
associated with staying active. If your goal is to lose some weight, tone your muscles or improve
your fitness, basic sports will help you achieve your objectives.

Swimming

There are a number of benefits associated with swimming. Your cardiovascular fitness gets a real
boost when in the pool because swimming works the entire body. Major muscle groups also go
through an exhaustive workout, depending on how much you swim. Your posture and flexibility
improve over time since swimming utilizes the whole body through movements that can only be
done in the water. Another benefit is perhaps what swimming does not do to your body. Namely
punish your joints, bones and ligaments. The natural resistance from the water protects areas
such as the knees and elbows from any jarring.

Running
Running burns a lot of calories, which is the simplest way to lose weight. Your cardiovascular
endurance benefits from a running program. Running can lower blood pressure and reduce the
risk of heart attack. In addition to improving your fitness level, running also helps tone your
muscles, particularly your leg muscles, and decreases bone and muscle loss, thereby slowing the
aging process. Trail running improves your coordination and balance because of the unevenness
of trails and various obstacles you must get around. Over time, you learn to control your body
while running, improving your reflexes.

Biking

Just 40 minutes of bike riding can burn up to 500 calories, according to the Adult Bicycling
website. Indoor cycling classes at fitness studios are specifically designed to burn a high amount
of calories to help people achieve their weight loss goals. Biking helps tone leg and back
muscles, while shaving off those love handles. Regular bike riding also greatly improves
cardiovascular fitness and cuts down the chance for heart disease. Like swimming, biking is easy
on joints and bones, since it is a low-impact sport. This makes biking ideal if you have limited
range of motion or have knee problems.

III. Answer the Questions
If you get up early in the morning you will see an unusual sight. In city parks and
in city streets, lot of boys and girls and men and women are already up and busy.
But they are not working or going anywhere. They are exercising. Some are
playing football or badminton and some others are jogging.
What is jogging?
Jogging is a gentle running. Why is jogging so popular today? Why do people jog?
People jog to relax themselves, to keep themselves fit, or simply to enjoy
themselves. Our world today is a world where life is comfortable and easy for
many city people. Fast buses, cars, or motorcycles take us to work or to school.
Lifts carry us quickly from one floor to another in large buildings. So many people
get very little exercise.
What do you need to start jogging? You only need a pair of running shoes, and old
pair of jeans or shorts, a sweater, and a little courage. Don’t be embarrassed if
you meet your neighbor as you return home, hot and tired. When you begin
jogging, start by running some of the way and then walking. Don’t jog too far to
begin with and jog slowly. Once you develop a regular jogging program, you will
feel fit and well, and you will be ready to start a busy day feeling fresh and
awake.
Next time you are at the swimming-pool, look at the people around you,
especially those who are over thirty. How many of them have a fat stomach? Now
you understand why more people today go jogging or do some other sort of
exercises.
