Question

Explain the difference between physical activity and exercise.

Write the correct answer in 8th grader words and in 4-5 sentences

Answer 1

Physical activity and exercise are related but not the same. Physical activity includes any movement that uses energy, like walking, playing, or even cleaning your room. Exercise, on the other hand, is a specific type of physical activity that is done on purpose to improve fitness, like running, swimming, or lifting weights. So, while all exercise is physical activity, not all physical activity counts as exercise.
