I learnt that exercising is the physical activity that makes me healthy especially for my muscles to work well. Running is my best exercise during our sports period in school but while at home, I enjoy skipping and jumping.
Hamed Boladale, 7 yrs old
My teacher told me that if I do not exercise regularly, my bones would not grow very well and that when I exercise very well, it would help my heart and other parts of my body to function well. I like participating in all forms of exercises since they are for my good. Exercise helps me not to be lazy at doing things that requires energy.

Exercises help our body’s fitness. My teacher said that it is dangerous for human beings not to exercise because some organs of the body will not function well. For example, our heart where blood is pumped.
Uthmar Anifowose, 6yrs old
We do sports activities every Wednesday in my school. It is always a time I enjoy because everyone would exercise their body parts. We would shake our hands, legs, waists and sweat would come out of our bodies.
Basit Oladosu, 5 yrs old
Every week, we do exercise in my school. It makes everybody happy. My teacher told us that we need to exercise at home too because it would help our bodies to fit.

On our sports day, our teachers always remind us that if we do not exercise our bodies, we would not become smart children. So I participate well because I want to look very smart as I grow. In addition, I learnt that exercise helps our brain develops very well. When it is time for exercise in school, I always feel happy.
Rofia Yusuff, 7 yrs old
There is a time my school has set aside every Wednesday for exercises. I always look forward to the day and time of the week because it is usually an interesting time for us and our teachers. That time, our teachers teach us the importance of sports and what might happen to our bodies if we do not exercise, such as heart disease and too much weight.
