Hello there, Pals! This is a rather late start but I’ve been busy at work ever since I got in. I didn’t have time to respond to everybody's reply yesterday but I promise I will. I did have a look at your answers to yesterday’s question, though, and you all passed the exam so I’ve decided to give you a day off and I won’t ask you any questions today.

Instead, I’ll bring back Ivett’s Fact Finder so all you have to do is read. Research shows that regular reading improves brain connectivity, increases your vocabulary and comprehension, empowers you to empathise with other people, aids in sleep readiness, reduces stress and lowers blood pressure and heart rate. Isn’t that amazing.

Now let’s look at some facts regarding movement. For an adult human, taking just one step uses up to 200 muscles and perhaps you remember that we have about 600 muscles which we regularly exercise. Regarding yesterday’s topic, an adult’s stomach can hold over 1.9 litres of food. That’s enough to fill four large or eight small drinking glasses. The average person breathes about 20,000 times a day. (but when we do HIIT with Tasha…. oh dear…) On average, a person will blink approximately 4,200,000 times in a single year, which is about 12,000 times a day. (although right now you’re so amazed you’re blinking even faster)

Must dash now, but be good, if you can and exercise if that’s what your body wants. (if not, make sure you gently persuade it)
