Lesson details
Key learning points
- We should aim to exercise for 60 minutes a day.
- We should do some aerobic exercise to get the heart pumping, e.g., running around the playground.
- We should also do some exercise to strengthen bones and muscles, e.g., football or jumping.
- Exercise can be spread over the course of a day and can help to break up periods of inactivity.
- Exercise doesn't have to cost anything. Being active at playtimes, PE lessons or walking to school are all exercise.
Keywords
Regular - something that happens often, not just sometimes
Aerobic - in this context, an exercise that makes the heart rate rise
Strengthening - in this context, making the body stronger to reduce the chance of illness or injury
Common misconception
Children are too young to do strengthening exercises.
Children should be encouraged to do strengthening exercises as well as aerobic, as this will ensure that their body is healthy enough to reduce risk of illness and injury later in life.
