Why Do Astronauts Need To Exercise In The Space Station?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Astronauts need to exercise because their bodies don't get a lot of the natural workout that gravity gives them on earth.  Their hearts don't need to work as hard to pump blood around their bodies in a zero-gravity environment, so by exercising they make sure that there's no deterioration of the heart muscle, or any of their other muscles, for that matter.
