My teenager says exercise is
only important for adults How
should I respond?
With all the electronic attractions
for teenagers today, a lot of them are
only exercising their thumbs and fin-
gers. Even though age is in their
favor, teens do still need regular
physical exercise. Exercise helps
them build lean muscle, which im-
proves self-image and contributes to
weight control because lean muscle
burns calories at a higher rate. Regu-
lar exercise also builds strong bones,
making it less likely they'll experi-
ence broken bones now and later in
life. Teens that exercise sleep better,
resulting in improved mental and
physical coping skills. Being physi-
cally inactive increases their risk fac-
tors for diabetes, obesity, heart
disease, high blood pressure and
stroke. Obesity and Type 2 diabetes
are on the rise in this age group.
How do I get my teen interested
in exercising?
This is a familiar refrain, but it al-tion for teenagers?

Moderate physical activity is
healthy for all ages and there is no
need to see a primary health care
provider to begin exercising. If your

he/she may be required to have a
sports physical. If your teen has a
chronic disease, physical impedi-
ments or complains that exercising
hurts or causes pain, it's a good idea
to make an appointment for him or
her with your primary health care
provider.
