Timothy Church Its Your Move Summary

552 Words3 Pages

The article that stood out to me was “Its Your Move” by Timothy Church. It gave valuable information on how regular exercise in adults can lead to a multitude of positive effects on the body both physically and mentally. Three main points of the article were exercise could reduce the risk of disabilities as we age, regular exercise can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease and that everyone has the time for exercise. When you think of aging you often associate it with weakness. In every sport there is an old woman or man who is participating in that sport and excelling in it. Why is that? Is it because that woman or man was gifted genetics to make him/her special in their respective sport? No, these men and women work very hard to get to where they are and to where they are going. According to Church (2003), maintaining your strength is important because if you don’t, you will lose it (p3). Even if it means walking around the inside of your house for a couple of laps, it’s still something. No one became great overnight and we all have to start somewhere, that little start might be the start …show more content…

Church says “150 minutes a week” which is the largest number in the entire article (p6). This comes out to around 21.4 minutes of exercise a day. This is a number that is extremely reasonable and one which most of us can attain. Why is watching a show we don 't like just to pass the time something that we choose over taking the time to exercise? Exercise can be everything from walking up the stairs to riding your bicycle to work instead of driving. There is really no excuse for not putting in the time for your future. We can all relate to wanting to put that extra $50 in our savings account for the future but we do not all think of putting that extra 24 minutes a week for our health. Money will come and go but your health will either work for you or against

    Athletics do hardly anything to cultivate these qualities. They may even hinder them. Sports seem to reinforce a “us against them” or “me against them” type of mentality. The competition of athletics just creates further division between people. Athletes, especially younger athletes, tend to, of course, value their bodies more than their minds.

    My first reason is competition. Competition is something that you have to make and have time to do it. Competition can be very hard for some people, because if you can’t do something that they ask you to do, there might be a slimmer chance of you making the team. In order to make competition, you need to be able to complete most of your splits, turns, etc. Competition is something that you have to be brave and good at, because you are

    Now I will be telling you about the effects of exercise on one’s mental health and resiliency. The University of Texas Medicine performed a study consisting solely of people with depressive disorders and had half of them do 30 minutes of physical exercise a day, while the other half were told to make no changes to their levels of physical activity. The exercising group claimed to be feeling better now compared to before the study, and the other group had no change. Many studies have worked to document a relationship between exercising and mental health, like a different study from the University of Texas Medicine which concluded that people who work out regularly are half as likely to have depression compared to people who do not. The amount of physical activity recommended to get mental health benefits is the same of that of obtaining academic benefits, which is 30-60 minutes per day.

Society as we know it has a strong hold on social roles and social norms for men and women that includes the way one should look, sound and how his/hers body type should be this ideological thinking has even seeped its way into the sports world. Men used sports as an arena to display their strength and agility as a way to justify their masculinity, dominance and power not only over their opponent but over women as well. In the book “Out of Play: Critical Essays on Gender and Sport”, Michael Messner describes the crisis of masculinity and how and why sports ultimately
