Movement keeps

us healthy

We use our muscles to move in
different ways. We can walk, run,

dance, lift things, climb and jump.

Movement is good for our bodies.

Sitting still for a long time is not good for our bodies.

Movement helps to keep us healthy in different ways.
Movement:

• makes your heart and lungs work better
