PhOTos!!!..:) of My sporting life

My sporting life

My sporting life when I was very little maybe when I was 4 or 5 years old I used to do horsemanship at Carolina’s Park with my sister and it was fun but nowadays, I don’t know why, but I am scared of horses. Then I came to live in San Rafael and my mother put me in a ballet course when I was 6 years old. I used to dance after school and I still know how to do a lot of exercises in ballet. For example I was good at standing on tiptoe and doing a lot of tricks. I remember that I presented in the theater with my class and we made a lot of choreographies. This was a beautiful experience, all my family went to see me at the theater but I decided to stop practicing it because I was the youngest in the group and I wanted to be with girls that had the same age as me. Then I was in a swimming course where I learned how to swim. I remember that in the first week I drowned and I was very scared but then it was fun and I remember that after that my mother took me out to get an ice cream. During this time I learned how to swim very well and I still know a lot of stiles to swim. I decided to stop going there because I used to get a lot of colds because the water of the pool was freezing cold. Then when I entered school I used to practice basketball but I was not good at it and I decided not to continue playing this sport. Then I stayed at school in the evenings with my friends to do aerobics. During these years I also practiced pin-pon. All of my cousins and I used to go to my grandfather and my grandmother’s house to play pin-pon and we made different kinds of competitions and it was really interesting, fun, funny and we enjoyed the game and the exercise.
I think that practicing sports is very important in your life because it helps you to be healthy and it also helps you when you are stressed. If you exercise and relax your mind I think that it is not necessary to practice a sport. You can also walk or play different things that are not necessary a sport like rubber band, hopscotch and jumping rope. These are the typical games that I played with my family and friends when we were kids. In all of these games everyone used to sing songs which animated the games and made it more fun.

..FITNESS.........!!! :)

First it will be good to know the exact meaning of fitness because how can we read something if we don’t know the meaning of the topic; Fitness is: Good health or physical condition, especially as the result of exercise and proper nutrition. Nowadays fitness is the name of some gyms and products that make you look more healthy or fit, I think that this word is becoming an advertisement to attract people to convince them to consume some product. Most of the time it is to convince young people to consume their products because they think that it is more important to have a good body instead of being healthy maybe to satisfy other’s expectations or to impress their friends. But fitness is not only to have a good body it is also good to be healthy because a person who is healthy is a person who has the ability to live happily and in good conditions. I think this embrace of the physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of fitness are more beneficial in person’s life. Now here is a question, what can we do to be fit? I think that the most appropriate thing to be fit is to eat healthy foods because in the majority of the cases the people have a lot of diets or consume some products that are full of calories or that have substances that make you lose weight and these are bad for your health. If you want to lose weight the only thing that you have to do is to eat more vegetables or cook food by vapour and drink at least 4 glasses of water during the day and suspend junk food, if you want to start a diet first consult to a doctor to see if that diet is good for your body and if it is not please don’t do it because it could affect your health .Another piece of advise I give you is to do different kinds of exercise, for example aerobics, muscular endurance, flexibility, and abdominals or other types of exercise recommended by a trainer. This is good to eliminate toxins, recover when you are sick, or if you have health problems. Exercising is also good to distract our mind because a lot of people tend to be stress and this is the best way to relax your mind. I think fitness is important in ours lives in order to be healthy and to prevent sickness. And remember always “healthy body healthy mind”
