Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and
overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons including strengthening
muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance,
as well as for the purpose of enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune
system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular
disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression,
helps to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, and can even augment an individual's sex appeal
or body image, which is also found to be linked with higher levels of self-esteem. Childhood
obesity is a growing global concern[4] and physical exercise may help decrease some of
the effects of childhood and adult obesity. Health care providers often call exercise
the "miracle" or "wonder" drug—alluding to the wide variety of proven benefits that
it provides.
