Walking can offer many health benefits to people of all ages and improve their fitness levels. It may also help prevent certain diseases and even prolong your life. In fact, this sport is easy to fit into your daily schedule and all you need to start walking is a sturdy pair of walking shoes. Walking can help you burn calories, which can help you lose weight.

It can increase the pulse rate and cause high blood pressure. It can also affect the respiratory system and lead to asthma. Moreover, it can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can equally cause stomach aches and digestive problems. Besides, it can lead to some serious mental illnesses like depression and extreme feeling of sadness. Furthermore, it can make
people angry, moody, or nervous. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses resulting from stress.

READING COMPREHENSION (1)

Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions that follow

When you graduated from tricycle to bicycle as a kid, you probably weren’t thinking too much about the health benefits of biking. But as an adult, cycling becomes a great low-impact exercise that can also take you places, wrapping a hobby, exercise, and commute all in one two-wheel package. Whether you’re flying across the pavement through the fresh air or working up a sweat on a stationary bike in your home, there are many benefits of biking 30 minutes a day. Exercising on the bike for at least 30 minutes a day will build up your cardiovascular and muscular endurance. By putting in consistent effort, you’ll notice an improvement in your aerobic capacity, enabling you to bike longer or on more intense rides. You might also feel higher energy levels throughout the day, because exercise helps boost your overall stamina. Getting your heart rate up doesn’t have to be hard on your joints. Opposed to running, cycling gets your cardio done in a low impact way. The pedals and resistance take the pressure off of your knees and hips so you can focus on building muscular strength. We all know bikes can be a little wobbly as you’re starting and stopping. Riding an outdoor bike helps you gain balance and spatial awareness, and stabilizing the bike can strengthen your arms, core and legs. If you’re working out on a stationary bike, riding out of the saddle helps train the stabilizer muscles in your legs to be strong. Ride in the saddle with high resistance, and you’ll feel the burn all the way from your core to your calves. You can make your bike ride as leisurely or as intense as you’d like. When using a stationary bike, you can do a high cycling class with moves that work your legs, core, and arms and keep them active and strong all in one 30-minute period. If you’re riding outdoors, you can choose a challenging route that will break a sweat, or you can cruise on flat ground at an even pace and enjoy the scenery. Overall, even though it’s one bike, you can mix it up so every day feels different.
