Your body

Here are some of the important parts of your

body. Can anyone name them?

HeartBonesLungs Muscles

TTYP- can you describe the important job

that they each do?

Your heart pumps blood

around your body to carry

oxygen and other important

things that you need.

Your bones support

your body to give it

structure.

Your muscles help you to move.

They work with your bones to give

your body power and strength.

Your lungs allow you to breathe.

You breathe in oxygen and breathe

out carbon dioxide.

Hardworking muscles use more

oxygen. That's why breathing gets

heavier during exercise. You need

to get plenty of air into your lungs

when you are exercising.

How does exercise help these parts of

the body?

Exercise builds up your lungs so that they are

using the oxygen well.

Exercise makes your bones and

muscles stronger.

Your heart pumps faster when you are being

active which makes it stronger as your heart is

also a muscle!

How much exercise should we do?

What exercises can we do? It is important we build regular exercise into our daily routine.

TTYP- What different things could we do each day to help our body and mind be healthy?

We could walk or cycle to school or make sure we have an active mile in a different way. We could join a sporting club and make sure we are playing outside each day.

If we have an inactive lifestyle, one where we don't move enough to the best of our ability, it can be damaging to our body and mind. For example, it can lead to heart disease and obesity.

What else can I do to keep physically

healthy?

Eat a balanced diet.

Drink plenty of water.

and teeth Keep

your body clean. Get plenty

of sleep.
