Introduction
Keeping fit means staying healthy and strong. In this chapter, we will learn why it’s important to keep fit and how we can do it through exercise, play, and rest.
Why We Need to Keep Fit
It’s important to keep fit so our bodies can work well. When we keep fit, we feel good and have energy to do things we enjoy like playing, learning, and spending time with friends and family.
We Need Exercise
Exercise is when we move our bodies in different ways like running, jumping, and dancing. It makes our muscles and bones strong and keeps our heart healthy. We can exercise by playing games, riding bikes, or doing yoga.
The Correct Posture
Having good posture means sitting, standing, and walking in a way that keeps our bodies balanced. It helps prevent back and neck pain and makes breathing easier. We should sit up straight and keep our shoulders relaxed.
Why We Need to Play
Playing is fun and helps us learn new things. It also gives us a chance to move our bodies and use our imagination. Whether we play tag outside or build with blocks indoors, playing keeps us active and happy.
Why We Need Rest and Sleep
Resting and sleeping give our bodies time to repair and grow. It helps us feel refreshed and ready for the day ahead. Children need lots of sleep to grow and stay healthy, so we should have a regular bedtime routine.
