Physical Exercise Physical exercise is a practice of parts of the body usually in an open place for keeping one's body in good condition. It is necessary for every person to keep him fit and active. It preserves and improves our health. There are various forms of physical exercise. Most games are good forms of exercise. They serve a double purpose-physical exercise and amusement. The playing of football, cricket, hockey. tennis, badminton, ha-du-du, daria-banda, golla-chut, kabadi, etc are good forms of physical exercise. Walking, racing. boxing, swimming, riding, cycling, wrestling. gymnastics, etc. are very common forms of physical exercise. All forms of exercise are not suitable for the people of all ages. The old can take part in light forms of exercise like walking, The women in our country have little scope to take part in physical exercise. So by doing household work like washing clothes or sweeping the floor they can keep their body fit. Regular physical exercise gives us strength, courage, vigour and energy. It keeps us fit, active and mentally alive. It activates our thinking. feeling and willing faculties. It is truly said that a healthy person possesses a sound mnind in a sound body. That is everyone should have good physical and mental health. The persons who do brain work need physical exercise more. A farmer or a day labourer does not need extra physical exercise because he is always engaged in physical labour. But the persons who do brainwork have little scope to do physical labour. So physical exercise is a must to themn. In some cases physical exercise prevents as well cures diseases. We depend on it for restoration of health. Generally it is good for digestion. It is the best medicine for some diseases. While taking exercise, one gets fresh air in open fields. It is conducive to good health. If one neglects physical exercise, he is attacked by various diseases. Life becomes a burden to him. Nowadays our educational institutions and the govt. have realized the importance of physical exercise for the students. But still very much remains to be done. More facilities should be given to the students. @Omar sir also like this content.
