Abstract
Physical exercise is one of the fundamental factors of living a healthier life. Its regular practice, allows the body to generate adaptations in different systems like cardiovascular, respiratory system and muscle skeletal system, to improve the condition and function of the organism. From the adaptations the benefits are derived and will be achieved. Exercise has been recognized by many authors to not only improve your health physically but psychologically and socially in children, adolescents, adults and senior citizens; in the educative centers and companies world wide. The main described benefits are the reduction of corporal weight, avoids the higher risk of heart disease, improves endurance, increases self-esteem, helps control stress and diminishes the risk of some types of cancer. In order to obtain the benefits of a healthier life, exercise must be practiced regularly. The advised activities are those such as aerobic or recreational, like long walks, cycling, swimming and dancing.
