1. Ten fitness exercises you can do at home

Walking

An effective walking workout at home will help to strengthen your legs, while getting some low impact aerobic exercise as well. If you don’t have any stairs available, just walk around the house a few times —it may not be very exciting, but it will do the job!

Jumping jacks

These are always fun, as they bring back memories of being a kid! Who hasn’t done jumping jacks for fun as a child? Well, surprise —they are also great cardio exercises, and good for warming up, too.

Push-ups

These are probably not the most favorite exercise of many people, but while they can be hard to do, you can find easier ways to do them. You don’t need to pretend you’re “Rocky”, and do them with one hand: just do what works for you. Do them on your knees, instead of keeping your legs straight. Or, do them by standing up against a wall. You will build up arm strength and work out muscles in your chest area.

Leg lifts

These are great for building up strength and muscles in your legs. If you find it hard to do the exercises with your legs straight, try bending them slightly.

Crunches

It’s the best exercise for building up and strengthening belly muscles. When you’re just getting started, don’t worry about getting your head all the way up. So long as you’re going up until you feel the stretching of the muscles, you will see some benefit.

Jogging in place

Jogging is a great exercise for your heart. You can jog in place at home while watching TV or listening to music. The only equipment you will require is a good pair of shoes, to eliminate any stress to your legs.

Squats

These are wonderful exercises for your legs and bottoms. You can even just try these by sitting and standing up again from a regular chair, if you’re finding them to be too difficult. As long as you’re able to do a few repetitions, you will provide some benefit to your body.

Dancing

Dancing is a wonderful exercise, which is great for your heart. Not only that, but it can lift your spirits as well, and give your overall feeling a boost.

2. Last weekend I visited a zoo with a friend. When we were there, we debated whether or not zoos were a good thing. When I was little, I liked going to zoos. Now, at the age of 20, I still enjoy visiting them. However, I am aware that there are lots of pe ople who don’t support these establishments.

Animals welfare is a growing concern in today’s society. There are many people who believe that zoos are cruel. They argue that it is cruel to remove animals from their natural habitats and keep them in cages. An animal kept in a zoo will lead a life different from an animal that lives in the wild. For example, animals in zoos don’t have to hunt for food. Additionally, some animals become unhappy in zoos because there isn’t enough space. Zoos exhibit animals fro m places all over the world must therefore adjust to different climates and seasons, depending on the location of the zoo in relation to where they come from.

For human visitors, however, a trip to the zoo can be an educational experience. When students learn about endangered species and are able to see them in a zoo, they are more likely to support projects designed to save these animals from extinction. Zoos are involved in many conservation projects: supporting zoos provides essential funding for these projects. Due to threats such as illegal hunting, there are many species which would be extinct if they weren’t kept in zoos. Moreover, many zoos attempt to replicate an animal’s natural habitat: a range of material is used to create a space that is similar to what would be found in the wild. Lots of toys are usually put in exhibitions to prevent animals from getting bored. Animals that live in tropical countries are typically housed indoors in heated tanks which are kept at a temperature similar to that of their natural habitat.

Every zoo has a slightly different approach to animal care and welfare, but overall I think zoos are a good thing. Seeing animals in their natural habitat isn’t always possible and I think zoos offer a good alternative. A trip to the zoo is both educational and fun —I’ll definitely continue to visit zoos!
