Fit for life – 1 Resource sheet Keeping fit does not mean the same as playing sport. For many people, the idea of taking part in sport is abhorrent, but this does not mean that they want to be or should be destined to live an unfit life. Keeping fit refers to looking after your physical health. In an age when modern technology has greatly reduced the need or desire for movement, keeping fit is more important than ever. As a paediatrician and a university Professor of Child Health, I have discovered through research that a poor diet and lack of exercise in young children is increasing their risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. A recent study shows that today just over 30% of primary school students and 25% or preschoolers are overweight or obese. The foundations of adult health are laid down in childhood. The habits you develop now will be with you for life. Take time to consider your current lifestyle. Be honest with yourself. Is it healthy? Can you see where you can make improvements? A young animal’s natural inclination is to be active. Can you imagine any young animal choosing to sit for hours, crossed-legged in front of a computer screen instead of being active? When you reduce your activity, your metabolism slows down. But when you’re less active, you also have more time to snack on foods like chips and sweets. Think about it. You’re less active, you burn fewer calories, you eat more food. What do you think is going to happen? You don’t need to be a genius to work out the answer! There are many ways to keep fit that don’t involve sport; for example, get around by walking, cycling, skating or riding your scooter; meet up with friends to have fun at a local park or the beach instead of at each other’s homes; help your parents in the house or garden. Have you ever considered what great workouts hanging out the washing, weeding, washing windows or the cars, vacuuming and ironing can be? Whatever you choose, it all adds up. Keeping fit is easy. The difficult thing is the initial step, making the decision to change your ways. But this decision must come from within you. Others are important for motivation and support but without your commitment, it will always be an uphill struggle. Your future is in your hands.
