Lesson 3:Types of

Physical Activity

In lesson 3 we learned about 3 different types of physical activity that are important to keeping our body healthy.

Let’s look at those three types of activities again and see if you remember them.

Types of Physical Activity

Vigorous Activity

Also called cardiovascular activities. This means that these types of exercises make your heart beat faster.

When you body sweats from doing these types of activities, it acts as an “air conditioner” to bring your body’s temperature down.

Types of Physical Activity

Stretching

This activity involves bending, stretching, and reaching.

These activities do not make our hearts beat faster, but they help us to stretch our bodies and become more flexible.

Types of Physical Activity

Strength Activity

These activities help build strong bones and muscles.

They also help you maintain your posture.

Some of these activities involve pushing, pulling, push-ups, and climbing.

You must exercise for 60 minutes or 1 hour everyday.

Lesson 7:Sun Safety

You skin is an organ that helps to cool down your body when you sweat, warm up your body when you are cold, and it also helps protect the inside of our body from germs.
