What is exercise?

Exercise is when your body moves in fun ways to get stronger and healthier.

Imagine you're playing tag with your friends at the park. Every time you run after them or dodge their touch, that's like doing exercise, it helps your legs and heart work harder so they can keep up for longer.

Exercise is like when you're building a tower with blocks. Each time you stack another block on top, you’re using your arms and body to make something bigger. That’s what happens when you do exercise, your muscles are working together to help you move, just like they work together to build that tall tower.

Exercise is like eating a big, juicy apple after a long day of playing outside. It helps your body feel full of energy again so you can keep running, jumping, and having fun, all day long!
