What sports can help keep people healthy?

I think all types of sports can help people maintain their health, but some of the best sports are those that focus on cardio, such as jogging, playing squash, basketball, tennis, swimming, and the like.

All sports in some way help us to move our body so that’s why a lot of people, after sitting in an office or a classroom for hours, go jogging or play a sport as it helps shake off the sedentary position many of us find ourselves in every day working in an office or sitting at a desk.

Are there health classes in your school?

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by ‘health classes’, but certainly all schools incorporate PE classes into their curriculum. For example, back in my school days, every week we had one or two physical education classes where we were taught sports and knowledge about health, for instance, what makes a healthy diet and how to protect our eyesight. They were fun, and for most of us, it was the class we looked forward to every week.

What is your favorite sport?

I don’t really have a favorite sport because I’m the type of person who, unfortunately, have poor eye-hand coordination, not to mention two left feet, and as a result, I’m not good at any type of sport. Hence, I’ve developed a dislike for most sports. I do enjoy long walks though, as well as bicycling, and sometimes, I go for long walks and can walk for hours without losing my breath.

How do you keep healthy?

As I just mentioned, I’m not a sports person, rather long walks tend to be my cup of tea and that’s what I do to keep healthy. I sit for hours every day because of the nature of my work and also because I like reading, so kind of a static sedentary lifestyle. I like to go bicycling in the morning though, and sometimes in the evening, I go for a walk.
