Regular Exercise

Regular exercise such as jogging or swimming provides several health benefits. It improves heart health by making the heart stronger and more efficient at pumping blood through the body. Regular exercise also increases energy levels. However, exercise alone may not lead to weight loss, as it can increase appetite. To lose weight, diet and exercise are both needed. Some sports like squash can be dangerous for unfit or middle-aged people if played intensely. Rugby also carries a higher risk of injury than lower-impact sports like tennis. It is best to choose an exercise that suits one's fitness level and health goals rather than sports that could potentially cause harm.

Regular exercise

Read the text below and answer the questions.


Regular exercise such as jogging or swimming is good for the heart. It can
also give you more energy to enjoy life. As a result of regular exercise,
your body gets better at using oxygen. It becomes easier for your heart to
pump blood round your body. After a while, the heart doesn’t need to
work quite as hard. Exercise is often thought to be an easy way of losing
weight. But in fact, exercise tends to increase your appetite. Many people
discover they lose no weight with exercise alone. Both diet and exercise
are needed to achieve this. Some people exercise because they think it will
help them to live longer. If that is your reason for exercising, then you
must avoid short, intensive exercise. Squash, for example, which is a fast
game, may be harmful if you’re unfit or middle-aged. Other sports can be
dangerous too. Although both rugby and football are popular sports, a
rugby player is three times more likely to be injured than a tennis player.
It is advisable, then, to choose a sport that suits you and not one that is
going to harm you.
