YOU SAVE WHEN YOU EXERCISE

You save when you exercise! No wonder the saying that health is wealth, so find out the impact of learning physical health education in school.

School days was fun but not so memorable for me, well I think that's because I was always looking beyond the school walls. While I was in junior school, I offered 12 subjects and one of them was physical health education (PHE). I never thought a day will come when I'd have to share something about this subject but then here I am, hehe. As the name implies PHYSICAL HEALTH EDUCATION, this subject is one that was added to our school curriculum to encourage students to know more about sports and the importance of physical fitness.

My best topic then was GYMNASTIC, but I don't even know if I still remember what it actually means, lol but I do know that I was quite interested in it then. While my second best topic was position, where we talked about different positions for eating, sleeping, walking, sitting and many more, did you know we had positions for all of these things I've mentioned now? Back then in school I was one of the best students in physical health education and that was because I loved the subject a lot, it was easy to fall in love with the subject because it was something I could easily relate with. Aside the fact that I loved the subject, I also loved the teacher, the teacher was a lady and she was so full of life and she taught us with all her heart, it was evident that she also loved the subject she was teaching.

One of the most memorable moments of me learning that subject was when I was preparing for my exams, strange right? Yeah, that moment was memorable because of the mode of reading I embarked on, I was so happy I was having physical health education and I read the subject very well and I even composed a song for some of the topics to make remembering them more easy. When my results came out that session, I did really well and my teacher commended me for doing so well. While reading for the exam I got to learn quite a lot about our physical health and that knowledge has really helped me till date.

If there was one thing that subject taught me it would be that exercise is a medicine on it's own and when we engage in a little of it everyday we will be more healthy. And now, I do try my best to always engage in a little form of exercise daily and with God on my side too, I can't remember the last time I fell sick. A lot of persons see taking a walk as punishment or even suffering and that has made them always take a ride to wherever they go to but then they failed to see the importance and benefits of taking a walk. I do understand that it's quite tiring sometimes but then the advantages are more than the disadvantages so why not just do it for your body's sake, it won't kill you, lol.

The truth is exercises help us stay fit and healthy, it helps our hearts beat faster and that's good, it helps us burn the unnecessary fats in our body and many more. All of these things is what I learned from the subject and now I'm also sharing it with you, don't take exercises for a joke because it's not, it has a very good role in making you stay healthy, so no matter how small it might be, do well to engage in it at least daily. It was super fun learning about the different things one could do to stay fit but the fact is that it's hard for us to carry them out but then we just have to try hard because it would save us a lot both health wise and finance wise.

So until next time, stay AWESOME and JIGGY!!!
