Exercise & Healthy Living

Exercise is refreshment of one's mind or body through activity. UC San Diego Recreation provides diverse, dynamic and high quality programs to the university that promote fitness, enjoyment, relaxation and play. Through recreational experiences, participants learn skills and develop habits that improve health, happiness and the quality of life. Recreation is the act of creating anew.

It is a simple exercise that is allowing people to achieve a healthy living where many people ignores and disregard. However, I think it is quite crucial to have a health check before any strenuous activities to prevent any unforeseen diseases like cardiac arrest.

Healthy living is as much a psychological issue as it is a physical undertaking. Reinforcing yourself with happy and positive thoughts gives you the confidence you need to conquer anything that life throws your way, giving you the confidence that makes you feel good about yourself. To feel good about ourselves is to live an unstressed existence and to take pleasure in all the splendors that life has!
