Physical fitness is the result of many factors: good medical and gentle care, proper nutrition, enough rest and relaxation, and sensible personal habits. But these are never enough. An essential factor is regular physical activity for a body to function well.
All of us know that ordinary movements like running, jumping, and bending are made possible by muscles. Muscles also do many other things. They suck air into your lungs, push food along your digestive tract(消化管), and tighten your blood vessels to raise blood pressure when you need more pressure for an emergency. Your heart is a muscular pump(强健的泵或抽水机).
When your muscles are not used, or not used enough, they do not develop and grow properly. They soon become weak, smaller in size and lose their ability to do the jobs they were meant to do.
Recent studies showed that the average high school student spend fifteen to thirty hours a week watching television and only two hours a week in organized play or exercise.

Some of the boys and girls could not raise themselves to a sitting position without using their hands!
Cars and buses, lifts, TV and push-button machines all tend to reduce physical activity. But our bodies still need exercise. Without it they soon become weak and unattractive.
