Moving your body is amazing, but it’s not always easy to find a way to do it that feels fun and good for you. Maybe you don’t have many parks near your house, or it’s hard to find time for sports around homework and other activities.

As our bodies change and grow, certain types of sport and physical activity might start to feel a bit different. Sometimes the things we loved when we were younger just aren’t as much fun anymore.

You might have been obsessed with ballet as a little kid, but then it got kind of serious and you’d much rather be playing basketball now. That’s OK! This happens for adults too, and following what feels good is an important part of finding what feels best for you and your body.

If you’ve ever owned a dog, you know they need to be walked every single day to stay healthy and happy (and not get up to too much mischief). It’s the same for humans – especially kids.

We know that movement makes our body feel good, but did you know this is because it produces chemicals in our brain to make us feel happy? How cool is that?! Being active also makes our heart and muscles stronger, and helps our brain focus and think better.

Sport and exercise have lots of other benefits too, like making new friends. There is no better feeling than working together as a team on the soccer field or netball court to score a goal!

When we focus on all these amazing reasons to move our bodies, it’s pretty clear that it has nothing to do with how we look… it’s all about feeling great on the inside!
