Importance of Physical Exercise
Physical exercise means the systematic movement of the limbs of the body to keep them mobile and strong. Without it, none can enjoy sound health. It keeps us free from diseases, and makes us physically strong and healthy. There is a close connection between the body and the mind. It is physical exercise which enables us to have a sound mind in a sound body.
There are various forms of physical exercise. The common items of physical exercise include walking, swimming, cycling, rowing, riding, wrestling, gymnastics, etc. Walking is an excellent physical exercise. It is suitable for people of all ages. Swimming is another good exercise. All the limbs of the body are moved by it. All kinds of sports can be regarded as physical exercise. Games like football, cricket, hockey, tennis, badminton, ha-du-du, etc. are good forms of physical exercise. We should take any of these exercises if we want to make the body and the mind healthy and strong.
Some people think that physical exercise is a mere waste of time. But they are mistaken. It is physical exercise that keeps the limbs of our body in a perfect condition. It makes our muscles strong and our body active. Physical exercise improves the digestion of food. It helps the proper circulation of blood and removes extra fat from the body.
Therefore, a man who takes regular physical exercise is sure to enjoy sound health throughout his life. In our country, very little attention is given to physical exercise. People above thirty hardly take any physical exercise. These people are engaged in brain work. There are many students who do not appreciate the utility of physical exercise. They think it is simply a waste of their time. But they do not know that they can work hard if they have sound health. There is a maxim, “A sound mind in a sound body keeps a man healthy and wealthy”.
So, all of us should take some sort of physical exercise every day. However, all sorts of physical exercise are not suitable for all. We should take physical exercise on the recommendation of a doctor.
