Lecture Notes

This slide gives you an overview of what we'll cover in this section. We're going to define physical activity, exercise and health, because these terms are important for us to understand the role that they play with physical activity. But before we begin, I want you to think about, for a minute, just take a minute and think about what it means to you to be healthy. What can you do because you're healthy? How does it feel to be healthy? Health is a really broad concept, and we often throw it around, you hear it in the media, but we don't often stop to think what it means. So I want you to take a minute right now and think about what it means to be healthy. By the end of this chapter you'll be able to describe and define what it means to be healthy, but I want you to understand how this relates to your own life and the lives of the people that are around you.
