They all require different amounts of physical effort. Make a note

high intensity. Research which British Olympians and Paralympians will
be participating in this event during London 2012.

physical activity you do. Remember to include your P.E. lessons and
any activities you do in the evenings or weekends. It doesn’t have to
be structured classes – going to the park for a run around, cycling and
brisk walking also count. Encourage your family to take part and
record what they have done.
