Teens Working-out

Every time our teens sprawl in front of the TV, their metabolism slows to a crawl. Researchers at Memphis State University and the University of Tennessee explored the link several years ago and were startled to find that kids’ metabolisms were lower while they were watching television than when they were resting and doing nothing at all! The typical teen now spends almost 30 hours a week in front of the tube, while eating high-fat snacks.

The medical community has been sounding the alarm: America’s kids are in worse physical shape than they were 20 years ago. This is particularly appalling since overweight teens often grow into overweight adults, and overweight adults develop more heart disease, diabetes, gout, and arthritis.

Aerobic exercise is perfect for teens who are independent and like variety. Some possibilities include running, in-line skating, cycling, swimming, power- or race-walking, tennis, full-court basketball, aerobic dancing, kick-boxing, Tae Bo, hockey, soccer, rowing, elliptical trainer, cross-country skiing, jumping rope, racquetball, handball, ice-skating, and trampoline. Exercise should never hurt, although a little muscle soreness can be expected, especially in the initial weeks of a workout program. Be sure your teen knows the importance of stretching and warming up. And keep in mind that out-of-shape kids should start out slowly, since they are more prone to serious injury if they do too much too soon. Running and walking are convenient. All you have to do is walk out the door and put one foot in front of the other. No need for pools, courts, or fields. Running doesn’t cost much. Splurge on good running shoes, but go the el-cheapo route for shorts, t-shirts, and sweats. Your heart becomes more efficient at pumping blood and oxygen through your body every time you exercise aerobically. You’ll think more clearly. It’s a perfect time to be alone and think. You’ll be blown away by the creative thoughts — ideas for research papers, ways to end that fight with your best friend, and what to say to that cute kid in the neighborhood. The benefits of cross-training extend to all sports you do. Aerobic exercise conditions your body to perform longer, faster, and more efficiently. Wait until your coach sees you play soccer or baseball! The more exercise you do, the more energy you’ll have for hours afterwards. Your body will kick into overdrive after a few weeks of conditioning and you will feel more energized than you ever have before. I you really need a good advice on this, You can consider Personal Training Miami , Personal Training Dallas, or Personal Training Chicago which are consistent on training teens for their good fitness.
