This
brings me to my second point. It is sometimes said that special

Thirdly
, it is said that if

often go to the gym and get a big load, it would lead them to bone diseases because their muscles cannot withstand

Although
this
is undoubtedly true, I would argue that we can keep fit by doing simple exercises and don’t burden ourselves. When,
for example

. In conclusion, I believe that if we encouraged lazy

to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle, we could have the benefits of all the ways to keep fit without its disadvantages.
