Why is it important for people to be fit?

I am going to tell you why it is important for people to stay fit. Firstly to be fit you must exercise. Children exercise everyday when they walk to school and home. At lunchtime they play on the playground and run around on the field. At Pt England School the children participate in athletics, swimming lessons and cross country training. It is harder to keep fit when it is raining. We exercise inside by doing jump jam and gymnastics.

Another important way to stay fit is to eat healthy food. We need to eat fruit, vegetables, proteins and carbohydrates to stay fit and healthy. We shouldn’t eat very much fats and sugars.

When we are fit our muscles grow bigger and stronger. Then we can carry heavy things and work hard. If we work hard we help our family and friends.

If we are fit our heart is strong and we won’t get very sick. I think this is the most important reason to stay fit. It’s all about being healthy.
