Re: Advantages of Exercise
A good point mentioned that what ever activity you chose you need to enjoy it or you won't stick with it. Going to the gym for some people is not fun. One thing I have seen here locally in our high school is incorporating life sports (i.e. those sports our bodies can tolerate thoughout life). This would include biking, swimming. I can't imagine a day without my bike, but back in high school all I was concerned about was basketball and tennis, neither of which I play anymore. If we can give our kids skills that they can carry with them as they progress through life they may have more success with maintaining a healthier life style. As for the rest, hopefully as was mentioned, as more people start to get active it will become the norm.
Being a workout freak I could keep posting on this topic forever. So sorry if I ramble on too much.
