    Although there is no perfect recipe for good health, the combination of regular exercise and healthy eating comes pretty close. Regular exercise or physical activity helps many of the body’s systems function better, keeps heart disease, diabetes, and many other diseases at bay, and is a key ingredient for losing weight. According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, being physically active on a regular basis, improves your chances of living longer and living healthier, helps protect you from developing heart disease, high blood pressure, helps prevent type 2 diabetes, relieves symptoms of depression and anxiety and improves mood. It also prevents weight gain, while promoting weight loss; it improves heart, lung and muscle fitness and improves sleep.

    Being physically active is the most beneficial thing for the human body, physically and mentally. Exercise decreases the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. It treats and prevents depression, increases muscle strength and cognitive function, and prevents obesity. It’s estimated that only 20% of the people in America get enough exercise, with an obesity rate of over 25% and an overweight rate of over 35%. Depression is a worldwide disorder that affects over 117 million people. Although it can lead to other disease and is one of the primary disabilities, it is treatable. The primary treatments include medication and therapy however exercise can treat and prevent depression just as well as medication in a lot of cases (Behrman, 2014). Heart disease is the number one cause of death in Americans. 1out of 4 deaths in America is the result of heart disease. The two main causes of heart disease are high cholesterol and blood pressure and are typically treated with statins and ACE inhibitors, however with proper exercise both of these issues can be controlled just as well and without side effects. As people grow older in age they can have a decline in cognitive ability, resulting in dementia such as Alzheimer’s. Staying active and exercising regularly keeps the brain healthy and elastic, preventing breakdown. Evidence suggests that regular exercise is more beneficial to our general health than taking medication because it decreases the risk of heart disease, decreases depression, increases cognitive function and has no chemical side effects.…

    Waking up the first morning of races is my favorite part of the weekend. I’m curled up sleeping soundly in bed as I hear the first few bikes start up. Once a few of them start to warm their bikes up, a majority of the racers are revving their engines and the smoke is flying through the campers like dense fog. I step outside the camper and everyone’s getting their trailers opened up, organizing them and setting their bikes on the stands as they get done warming them up. The main worry is the bikes and whether or not they’re in tip top shape and ready to ride. The men usually check the bikes out and fiddle with a few things until they approve of the sound as they idle. Then basically we chill out and wait until we’re staging. This is the part when you start getting a little nervous and anxious to get up to the gate and give it all you got. The feeling you get when you’re at the gate is unbelievable and only something you’ll experience if you get a chance to race.…

    The official wasn't much help, and after about five minutes we went to go get our numbers and tags for the race. My number was 145 and in big blue numbers. Then we went to the starting line. The mile run and 5K runners were both lined up in one massive hoard, all trying to get to the front, so they would have the best start. I tried to be in front of my family because I was the fastest. My brothers, Zach and Alex, were by my dad. He had told me during my warm ups not to start out too fast, and that I still had to get home in one…
