The body needs exercise. Exercise uses up food and keeps the body strong. It makes your heart work hard in order to send blood to your muscles (2). So exercise makes your heart and muscles strong. Exercise also makes you feel good. If you do exercise a few times a week, you will stay healthy and happy.

Some people in America do not get enough exercise. They have to work too much, so they don’t have enough exercise (4). They work in office buildings sitting in a chair all day in front of computers. They live far from their offices, and they have to drive their cars to get to work. Therefore, when they get home at night, they don’t want to exercise after work (3).
