What are some Benefits of Exercise?

Experts recommend that teens get 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day. Here are some reasons why:

Exercise benefits every part of the body, including the mind. Exercise improves brain health and learning. It can help people sleep better. When you exercise, your body makes chemicals that help you feel good. Exercise lowers your chances of depression and decreases feelings of anxiety. Plus, exercise can give you a real sense of accomplishment and pride at having achieved a goal — like mastering a new dance routine or beating an old time in the 100-meter dash.

Tumble, Tumble as leaves would crumble

Autumn begins and nature would humble.

An array of umbrellas in the park.

Colours of fire and colours of dark.

Rain will spill and roots will spoil.

Leaving spiders in annual turmoil.

Bobbing apples and rays of gold.

A new shade of world to behold.

A shift to cold breath,

The beauty in death.

Do not stand

   By my grave, and weep,

I am not there,

   I do not sleep--

I am the thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints in snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle, autumn rain.

As you awake with morning's hush,

I am the swift, up-flinging rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the day transcending night.

Do not stand

   By my grave, and cry--

I am not there,

I did not die.

Do not stand

   By my grave, and weep,

I am not there,

   I do not sleep--

I am the thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints in snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle, autumn rain.

As you awake with morning's hush,

I am the swift, up-flinging rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the day transcending night.

Do not stand

   By my grave, and cry--

I am not there,

I did not die.
