7. Having a healthy heart - Heart muscle is strengthened by physical activity. Heart's ability to pump

blood into the lungs and throughout our body improves.  More blood rushes to the muscles as a

result, and blood oxygen levels rise.

8. Help control your weight - Physical activity aids weight management by allowing us to burn calories

that might otherwise be deposited as fat. Calories are found in almost all foods, and they are used in

everything we do, including sleeping, breathing, and digesting food.

9. Reduce stress - Endorphins are released when we exercise. Physical activity may aid in the creation

of endorphins, the brain's feel-good chemicals, so that being physically fit helps us reduce stress.

10. Enhance body image - The type of physical activity you feel comfortable doing and how much fun

you have can both be influenced by our body image. Physical activity can improve an individual's

body image and as well as their self-esteem like when people experience social support and find

enjoyment in the activity.
