Just arrived from Blackpool (How i kept safe and Healthy)
it was fun over there and i had a very nice time. Lots of fun and activities such as swimming, football and hearing God's word. First night, i went to bed hungry as i arrived at the Hotel very late which meant that the kitchen staffs were closed for the day. This didn't affect me much because there was alot of fun to far ahead in the next days. i also slept late as i kept surveying the area and its environment.
The next day's activities started at 7:30 am which meant that i had to be up fromthe bed at 6:30 am but i didn't rise up until about 7:00am as i was too tired because of the long journey from London. During breakfast, i made sure i didn't eat too much as eating too much before sitting to hear people speak could make you feel dizzy or even fall asleep.
In the Afternoon, it was recreation time, and everyone did different sports, i went for football and swimming. Before playing football, i did the following to keep safe and healthy.

• I made sure i was in the right kit which included my football boots, socks, shin pads, shorts and light t-shirts because it was quite hot.
• I also did some warm ups. This is necessarybecuse Warming up prepares the muscles for physical activity. it should include jogging and jumping.
  

Importance of Warming up

It improves strength - The moving part of the muscles are stimulated and prepared for a heavy workload on the muscles during exercises.

It increases your flexibility - The soft tissues of the muscles increase in elasticity to adjust to different forms during exercise.

It reduces fatigue - Warm ups prevent early lactic-acid buildup in the body and fatigue that could shorten your output during exercises.

It increases blood flow - Exercise-related problems are reduced by the increase in coronary blood flow.

• The exercises were done in a suitable place, condition and environment
• After each exercise, i cooled down to let my muscles and heart's workload to decrease as this prevents injury and decreases the heart rate and pressure gradually to normal.
