In this essay, I have proven that physical activity is very important and that by staying active for periods of time would benefit you a lot throughout that pupil’s life time. By knowing key skills and how to make physical activity fun and enjoyable it would not be a problem for the pupil to maintain this throughout their lifestyle.
