My understandings:
The article tells that exercise not only improves one’s
coordination but they can also improve brain function and
learning. Exercise can also boost mood, improves sleep, and
reduces stress and anxiety.
Comments:
Exercise is really important to everyone. It reduces the risk of
developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and
cardiovascular disease. Also, it improves the quality of our
life, the way we think, we react, and the way we treat our self.
