You walk, run, bike, etcetera, instead of getting [an automobile] ride when possible. No matter what your job is, you consciously think and make a variety of &#8220;movements&#8221; possible. I like to swim; others play volleyball or basketball or work out in a gym. Basically you should think about regular exercises and movement that promote endurance, strength, and flexibility. You do not smoke as smoking is directly linked to the development of serious diseases.<\/li>\n<li><abbr title=\"Question\">Q<\/abbr>: Why is fitness important for kids?<br \/>\n<abbr title=\"Answer\">A<\/abbr>: Being physically fit means having your body working as efficiently as possible and this helps to keep your mind sharp. Kids need to establish an active lifestyle pattern because active kids usually become active adults.<\/li>\n<li><abbr title=\"Question\">Q<\/abbr>: Why is physical fitness important for adults?<br \/>\n<abbr title=\"Answer\">A<\/abbr>: Establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can avoid many of today&#8217;s illnesses and health problems. Diseases like diabetes and heart problems and even cancer are thought to be linked to the lack of a healthy lifestyle. Fit people are much less likely to develop diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an interview with Linda, the Physical Education teacher and coach of the &#8220;Streaks&#8221; jump rope club at Schoolcraft Learning Community.
