5 . It is nothing new that most of us know that physical activities lead to better health. But for the first time in these years, the United States government has changed its guidance on how much exercise people need to stay healthy and when they should start.

The new guidance states that children as young as three need to be physically active. Earlier guidelines used to begin at six. The most important time for children to begin exercising is between the ages of three and five. Boys and girls in this age group need at least three hours of exercise every day. That could be light activities, moderate (中等的) activities, or even strong activities.

Doctors say it is important to start at a young age. They add that from birth to the age of five, a child's brain develops more than at any other time in life. These developments have a lasting influence on a child's ability to learn and to succeed in school and in life. Children who start exercising at a young age are more likely to develop healthy behavior that will continue into adulthood. However, Dr. Giroir, who works at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, does not suggest putting a five-year-old child on a "treadmill (跑步机)"or other exercise equipment. He thinks that simply giving children the time and space to play actively as they normally would is enough.

The new guidelines say that children aged between 6 and 17 get at least one hour of moderate to strong exercise a day. Most of this exercise should be aerobic exercise (有氧运动)，such as biking, swimming or running. Aerobic activities can strengthen (加强)the heart and lungs by making them work hard for several minutes or more. Exercise should also include muscle- and bone-strengthening activities, such as climbing trees or playing sports. Experts suggest that children get this kind of exercise at least three times a week.

Our school has started a program of extra-curricular sports activities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

7 . It’s very common these days for people to take some sort of regular exercise each week. But if you’ve never done it before, what’s the best way to go about it?     1     He or she will create a personalized plan for you based on your aims.

However, each hourly session can be steep considering you have to pay both the personal trainer and membership of the gym, too. So what’s left? Well, if you have the courage to do it, you can make your own plan. It’s relatively easy to do if you have the know-how.     2    

First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down or increase your abilities? Whatever it is, make sure the things you choose to do are achieving that goal. Next, do your research.     3     Watch as many of these as possible, but make sure to be a little critical of them — everyone has a different physique and what works for one may not work for another. Finally, keep your feet on the ground.     4     It takes at least three months to see any realistic body changes. And don’t be overzealous(过度热衷的) — never work in pain   — a good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. Pain means you are damaging yourself.

If nothing else, focus on calisthenics (健身操).     5     Do as many of one exercise as you can without stopping, and then try and repeat that number twice more — make sure you sweat, and don’t forget to rest for a minute in between each activity!

8 . If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out.     1     Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.

Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day.     2    

Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start.     3     If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.

    4     Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.

    5     If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.

There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out! You will feel energized all day long.
