When you exercise, your heart gets stronger, kind of like how a muscle gets stronger when you use it. Exercise also helps build strong bones and keeps your body healthy so you can run, climb, and play all the things you love. Being active can also help you feel happier and sleep better at night!
There are so many ways to exercise! You can play tag, ride a bike, swim, dance, or play sports. When you exercise, your brain gets a boost that can put you in a good mood. So get moving and have fun!
- Kids need about 60 minutes of active play every day to stay healthy.
- Your heart is a muscle, and exercise makes it stronger just like lifting weights makes your arms stronger!
- People who exercise regularly can live longer, healthier lives.
