Essays (FIRST) Should people who are studying or working hard take regular exercise? The amount of exercise people need to do depends on a range of things: whether they are training for a special sporting activity, their age, what kind of job they do etc. Therefore, people who work in an office would probably benefit from exercising a couple of times a week, whereas people who do physically challenging jobs probably do not need additional exercise. In fact, too much exercise can put strain on the body and cause injury. There are other things that people can do to be healthy. One obvious thing is to eat a balanced diet. If someone consumes a lot of fruit and vegetables, rather than lots of fat and sugar, then they are probably going to be reasonably healthy and consequently may not need to exercise every day. Finally, there are other lifestyle factors that are also important for good health. Getting good sleep is vital, as well as having close family and friends, and enjoyable work and interests. In conclusion, I would say that in most cases it is not necessary to exercise every day. Nevertheless, regular exercise is beneficial to people’s health.
