Activity A
Written Task no. 5
“Give at least three benefits of aerobic exercise
then describe them in your own words. Also find
pictures that will illustrate them.”
Improves cardiovascular
conditioning.
Activities like walking, jogging,
running, cycling, swimming,
aerobics, rowing, stair climbing,
hiking, cross country skiing and
many types of dancing are “pure”
aerobic activities. Sports such as
soccer, basketball, squash and
tennis may also improve your
cardiovascular fitness.
Lowers blood pressure.
Some experts define low blood
pressure as readings lower than 90
mm Hg systolic or 60 mm Hg
diastolic. If either number is below
that, your pressure is lower than
normal. A sudden fall in blood
pressure can be dangerous.
Helps to better control
blood sugar.
Exercise helps control blood sugar
spikes by increasing the sensitivity
of your cells to the hormone
insulin. Exercise also causes
muscle cells to absorb sugar from
the blood, helping to lower blood
sugar levels (21). Both high-
intensity and moderate-intensity
exercise have been found to
reduce blood sugar spikes.
Improves lung function.
Eat foods rich in antioxidants.
Get vaccinations like the flu
vaccine and the pneumonia
vaccine. This can help prevent
lung infections and promote
lung health. Exercise more
frequently, which can help your
lungs function properly.
Improve indoor air quality.
Decreases risk of heart
disease.
Try to limit saturated fats, foods
high in sodium, and added sugars.
Eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables,
and whole grains. The DASH diet is
an example of an eating plan that
can help you to lower your blood
pressure and cholesterol, two
things that can lower your risk of
heart disease. Get regular exercise.
Increases HDL or "good"
cholesterol.
HDL cholesterol is the kind of
cholesterol you want more of. It's
called the "good" cholesterol
because it helps protect you from
getting heart disease. HDL
cholesterol brings cholesterol to
your liver, which sends it out of
your body.
Decreases resting
heart rate.
“Exercise is the number one
way to lower resting heart rate,”
says Dr. Singh. The most
common cause of a high resting
heart rate is a sedentary
lifestyle, one where you spend a
lot of time not moving. And
being in poor shape can
increase the risk of other
problems, including obesity,
high blood pressure and
diabetes.
ACTIVITY B.
“Research on the effects of the following bad habits then cite
specific cases of people who abused them and the negative
effects on their lives or careers.
-Using steroids and recreational drugs
Baron Geisler used to
be a drug addict and this resulted
in him having depression and losing his career in showbiz
as an Actor.

-Drinking alcohol
In an interview to Off Camera in 2019, the actor said that he
struggled with the feeling of always being watched as a young
actor. He said, “In my case, the quickest way to forget about
the fact that you’re being watched is to get very drunk. And
then as you get very drunk, you become aware that ‘Oh,
people are watching more now because now I’m getting very
drunk, so I should probably drink more to ignore that more.’”

-Smoking
She smoked two packs a day and even her father’s death from
cancer in 2002 didn’t dissuade her from smoking. Paltrow finally
kicked the habit when she found out she was pregnant with her
first daughter.
