QUESTION 5

Get Up, Get Moving!

What happens when you increase the amount of exercise you do?

C) You burn calories and your metabolic rate decreases

B) You gain calories and improve fitness levels

A) You burn more calories and your metabolic rate increases

Click on the words ‘metabolic rate’ if you don’t know the definition!

Metabolic Rate?!

Get Up, Get Moving!

Your metabolic rate is the amount of daily energy you release while doing your everyday things… If you

have a fast metabolism you release energy quicker and you get hungry more often! If you have a slow

metabolism it is easier for you to gain weight because it takes longer for you to release that energy

from your food.

Thank you! Take me back

Correct!

Get Up, Get Moving!

Well done! The more you increase your activity levels, the more you will improve on your fitness

levels. This is because you burn more calories and your metabolic rate increases, which helps you be fit

and lose weight.
