Teenager Workout Day Promotes Strength, Fitness and Healthy Habits

Exercise can help teenagers grow strong and stay healthy.

Activities like running, swimming, cycling, dancing and sports can make the heart and lungs fitter.

Exercises using body weight, such as squats, push-ups and planks, can build strength.

Jumping and skipping can help strengthen bones while they are still developing.

A good workout can include different kinds of activities.

Teenagers should choose activities they enjoy instead of exercising until they are exhausted.

Beginners should learn the right technique and slowly make exercises harder.

Rest is important after demanding activity.

Pain, dizziness or unusual tiredness should not be ignored.

The goal is to build healthy habits that can continue into adulthood.
