Each student in our class reported on a book about healthy habits. We are learning how to take ___________________  for our own healthy eating and exercise. There are so many fun ways to get fit. These are just a few of the __________________  .
William: I read about muscles.   People have the ability to build muscles without lifting weights. In fact, for kids our age, just playing hard and doing exercises like push-ups and sit-ups are the best ways to get results. Those muscles will become visible over time. 
Ella:  My book was about building endurance. Endurance means how long you can run or play a sport without getting too tired. You can build your endurance by running a little farther every week. The results are ________________ . You will be able to run further than you ever thought possible because people are ______________ .   
Avery: The funny title of my book was ‘Yoga, It’s Not a Cartoon Bear’. I read about how yoga helps you relax and become more flexible. It is a very gentle and _______________  way to exercise. You don’t need special equipment. You can do it almost anywhere. 
James: Some kids I know think vegetables are horrible. But I love veggies. I read about how to tackle the problem of not liking vegetables. Try different kinds of vegetables fixed different ways. Try eating them first when you are really hungry. It’s possible you will find some veggies you really like.
