A workout designed for teenagers
March 21, 2009
The teenage years are a very difficult period in a person’s life. Teenagers can be quite judgmental and are often very self conscious about their weight. Many teenagers have taken to exercising so that they can conform to a certain ideal. Teenagers want to feel as healthy and look as good as their elders. This article will teach a teenager the proper exercises suitable for a teenage body.
Aerobics is a great way to condition the entire body. Nowadays with the popularity of video games, teenagers are prone to spending hours in front of the television or computer. It’s time to get up and get active. Find a sport that interests you. Get up off your rear end and start walking or jogging around the neighborhood. Make it fun by having a few friends join you.
Weight training helps to shape the body and build muscle tone. The teenage years are when boys and girls bodies start to develop and gain strength. While you may be ambitious, it is important to go easy on the weights. A low weight with high repetitions will help tone the body without adding too much stress to it. Start off with no weights for resistance training and slowly move into using low weights. Have a coach or trainer work with you to provide guidance as to how to perform the exercises properly. You want to avoid hurting or damaging yourself.
Years ago, when children wanted to do something to pass the time, they went outside and rode their bikes or ran up and down the block until they were tired. This is not the case anymore. Children have become stagnant and even lazy and have forgotten how to be active. By getting off the couch and being active each day you will help to strengthen your cardiovascular capacity and overall appearance.
As you exercise more you will notice that you will have more energy. Exercising kick-starts your heart rate and metabolism which in return will burn calories. Remember to add some energy stimulating activities to your daily routine. Try walking to school instead of taking the bus.
Because teenagers’ bodies are still fragile, they need to be careful not to overexert themselves with weight lifting. Remember to take your time and slowly build up your weights as your strength increases. There’s no reason to lift heavy at this point in your life.
Cardiovascular stimulating exercises, such as aerobics, basketball, bike riding, dancing, jogging, swimming, and wrestling are beneficial and fun to participate in by incorporating exercise into your daily routine you will strengthen your body, your muscles and your body’s functions.
