Living a healthy lifestyle is very important to everyone. No matter the age or gender, knowing how the stay healthy can greatly affect your life. More than 60% of adults don't get the recommended amount of regular physical activity. Worse yet, 25% of all adults are not active at all! This number is very scary when you think about it, and really needs to be helped.Nearly 50% of young people aged 12-21 are not vigorously active on a regular basis. Only 19 % of all high school students are physically active for 20 minutes or more in physical education classes every day during the school week. ( Sarah Marshall, MyFit.ca) These statistics can be very alarming. I believe that this is something that can be worked on, it just needs a little push.
Living a healthy live is something that everyone should want to do. It can be very beneficial and will make you feel great.
