Healthy and Happy: Exercise and Play

Feeling good starts with looking after your body. A healthy body is full of energy and it keeps your mind happy too. Smart! One great way of keeping well is to keep fit with exercise. But hang on: doesn’t the book mention play? Yes it does – and that’s all part of it! You might enjoy team games like rounders. Or a racquet sport like tennis.

The hard bit is choosing where to start.
