4 . What Are the Physical Benefits of Exercise?

Exercise is often thought of as activities that help a person lose weight or prevent weight gain. Having a body that is slimmer and trimmer is certainly one of the physical benefits of exercise, but there are many others.     1    

Exercising can help strengthen the muscles.

Diet pills may help a man shed weight but they will not help him build or strengthen his muscles. The physical benefits of exercise are generally experienced simultaneously.     2     This benefit is not limited to males and the types of exercises that produce these results are not limited to weight lifting.

Working out can make the bones stronger.

Exercise also strengthens bones, which becomes more important the older a person gets. Bones go through a natural process of breaking down the rebuilding.     3     Physical activity produces that stimulation and, therefore, helps decrease the likelihood of conditions such as osteoporosis (骨质疏松).

    4    

Many people are concerned with looking older. Slowing and reversing the effects of aging are benefits of physical exercise. Cellulite (皮下脂肪团), for example, can make a young woman appear older than she is.     5     Wrinkles are another sign of aging that can be reduced by exercise since physical activity tends to improve the condition of skin.

A．Many people want to change or improve their bodies.

B．Taking regular exercise can reduce the effects of aging.

C．As people grow older, however, the rebuilding process slows unless it is stimulated.

D．Training also reduces the negative physical effects which a person feels when he ages.

E．Exercise has the ability to help a person change his body shape, and make him stronger.

F．The appearance of cellulite can be diminished with basic exercises such as walking or jogging.

G．These include strengthening the bones, strengthening the muscles, and reducing the effects of aging.
