Sample Answer

Well, there are numerous activities that can help a person remain fit. Personally, I consider running to be the activity that has helped me to stay in shape. Moreover, in addition to it intake of a nutritious balanced diet with adequate sleep also holds a lot of importance.

There is a beautiful park near my abode, I make it a point to run for about 30 minutes twice every day, that amounts to an hour daily. Once, in the morning hours before the hustle and bustle of the world around and next 30 minutes during the evening hours after I return from my office. It’s a great way to increase my strength and flexibility, hence allowing me to stay in shape.

Furthermore, I Try to have a balanced diet. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are included in my diet. Also, I try to avoid carbonated drinks and processed food items.
