Before summer starts, most people want to get in shape, so they begin to work out.  Everybody is different and enjoys different types of exercise.

   Since summer is coming, more people are going to be spending their time at the gym to get fit.  At a gym there are so many ways to work out on exercise equipment like the weights, treadmill, elliptical and exercise ball.  Every piece of equipment works on a different part of the body so depending on what people want to do at a gym depends on what part of the body they want to work on.

   Not everybody has time to go to a gym because they have to work or they have too much homework, but people can also exercise at home.  There are an assortment of ways people can work out at home.  Some of those include walking, swimming or even sports.  During the summer a lot of people play sports.  Sports are fun because not only can you hangout with friends, but you also get to exercise.  It is well-known that most sports involve running and running is a good work out.  Some of the sports could be football, soccer, baseball and so on.  Some sports involve extra workouts to build up strength.

   Swimming is not only a good way to cool off but also a great exercise.  In swimming, there are many different strokes such as butterfly, breaststroke and backstroke.  When people swim the correct way then it involves all the muscles.

  Another way to exercise is walking. Walking is a great exercise because it does not involve a machine and people can do it anywhere.  There are a lot of muscles involved when walking including the muscles in the arm and shoulder.  Those help with balance and speed.  The muscles in the core and back also help with balance and posture.  Other muscles that are involved in walking are the thigh and buttocks.  The calf muscles are another muscle that is involved.  Walking is an easy exercise to do and can be involved in many things. 

   Exercise is important because it keeps people healthy.  It does not matter where it is done, whether it is at a gym or at home.  There are many different ways that people can exercise, it just depends on what people like to do.
