Sample 1

There are many activities which I do to keep myself fit and healthy. One of them is unique, and hence it is worth mentioning. That is going for a walk in the morning and the evening.

I do it with my friends in the evening, whereas I prefer to do it alone in the morning. Activity is essential for keeping fit and healthy because these days we have a sedentary lifestyle. Due to that people move significantly less from one place to another and due to that they gain weight. So walking is an exercise where your complete body is involved. So when you walk, you remain fit.

Apart from that, physical health is also suitable for your mental health. Because when you walk, especially alone, you talk to yourself. So you have clarity of thoughts. So this is the way it helps you. So it can help me stay fit and healthy physically and mentally. Because on the physical side, it burns calories and strengthens your muscles.

And on the mental side, as I told you earlier, it leads to clarity of thoughts and rejuvenates your mind. It refreshes your mind. Moreover, when you talk to people while walking, you create a good social bonding. So it’s a perfect activity that keeps me physically and mentally fit, and I prefer to do it every day.
