April 16, 2015 Golden Valley News Page 3 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? ways bears repeating. Parents are Organized sports can be an excel- models for their children.

Incidentally, don't punish your Are organized sports a good op- child by using exercise as a form of discipline either. Your teen may find that exercise is more enjoyable if they recruit a friend or buddy to join them. Should my teenager see a pri- mary health care provider before beginning physical activity? 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 teen begins an organized sport. 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.
