A study says the UK is the third laziest (懒惰的) country in Europe. The study shows that 63% of people in the UK do not get enough exercise. A report last year said that not being active was the fourth leading reason for dying too early.
Being active helps you keep away from illness. So instead of watching the Olympics on TV, shouldn't we be going for a run? Why not play badminton or tennis, rather than sit on the sofa without moving? Short periods of exercise may not change your body much, however, if you keep up exercising, it must bring you both joy and health.
It's important to understand how much activity is needed to stay healthy. As an adult, you need to do two and a half hours of exercise each week. Luckily, a study shows that doing 10-minute activity every day also works. You are more likely to stay healthy if it is part of your everyday life, for example walking or riding a bike to work.
It is not just adults who need to take exercise. As soon as your children can walk, they should also be told to run and jump. The research shows the kids under five years old spend so much time in cars that they are at risk of being unhealthy or overweight (超重) before school age. Between the ages of 5 and 18, the research suggests an hour of exercise a day is needed. Exercise at this age helps develop strong bones and muscles (肌肉) and cuts the risk of being overweight. Also, the old are advised to do two-and-a-half hours of activity a week. This level can cut the risk of falling over.
