Levels of physical activity
All kinds of physical activity can be categorized into a light, moderate or vigorous. Here is some information about each of the levels.
Light
· Walking slowly is an example of light physical activity.
You won’t sweat or breathe hard (unless it’s really hot out)
Moderate
· Brisk walking, dancing, etc. are the examples of moderate activity.
· It is about half way between sitting still and working as hard as you possibly can.
Vigorous
· Jogging, jumping rope, or swimming laps are examples of vigorous activity
· You will sweat, breathe hard, and not be able to talk easily during exercise.
If you are active you need fuel. But how much do you need and when? You need food to grow and to fuel all your activity. If you are active but don’t eat enough healthy food, your body may slow down and not work as well.
Try not to eat a meal right before exercising, or you could get a stomach ache. It can take a few hours to digest a big meal. After a smaller meal, waiting around an hour should be fine.
Exercise and other physical activity always help you to stay fit and healthy.
