Sport keeps you fit, flexible and in shape. People who are physically fit are, on average, happier and less likely to become ill. The more often you exercise, the better you will feel about yourself. Text 2. If you find exercise boring, you are more likely to avoid doing it. A solution to this is to become a member of a sports club and take part in a physical activity you like, such as drama or dance, where you will move around a lot. Making sure your fitness routine has variety will help you to lose weight while still having fun. Text 3. No amount of exercise will help you unless you make sure you are living healthily in other areas of your life. You mustn’t smoke, drink too much alcohol or stay out late very often. The same goes for cutting out junk food from your diet and sticking to fresh food. It’s too easy to say, ‘I could’ve done this or I should’ve done that.’ It’s never too late to start exercising.

The exercise you do should be demanding. You must do something that makes you out of breath – that way, you can be sure the exercising is really helping you to get fit. Text 5.

You just have to find your own level and be happy with improving your performance. You will feel a sense of achievement after you have taken part. Text 6. What would we do without sport?

One day you could run; the next you could attend a dance class with friends. It’s completely up to you. Text 8.
