Treat Teen
Teenagers who are trim and toned have a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes and other chronic health conditions later on in life. Let your teenager in life choose an exercise of her choice. Teens who exercise regularly— as compared to their couch-potato counterparts— have higher self esteem, perform better in college and are less likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as smoking, alcohol and drug abuse.
The teenage years, typically, see a decline in participation in sports and physical activities. Parents usually become concerned about weight issues in their children when they get into their teens. This concern can often result in conflict with the child. As Peter, another friend, tells me, the conflict over the weight issue makes her teen actually eat more and exercise less. Motivating your teen to exercise is very important. Here are some easy tips to inspire them to exercise and get them moving on the path to a healthy lifestyle.
Remember, a fit mom has fit children. If you grumble and complain through your workout, chances are your child will also pick up the attitude. You certainly don’t have to become an obsessive sports mom to demonstrate your enthusiasm for physical activity, but showing your teen that you enjoys exercise will certainly motivate them. Make sure they notice. You may get up early and go for a jog every morning in the hope of inspiring your sedentary 17-yearold but if she does not wake up that early, your enthusiasm is not going to help.
There’s nothing a teen likes more than being in control. Empower their exercise habit by allowing them to choose a physical activity they are most interested in. If they’re not into organized sports, for example, sign them up at a local gym. Or enroll them in a dance class, or encourage their new-found cycling habit. This will make your children embrace exercise as a way of life. In addition, talk to your teen about limiting the time he or she spends on sedentary activities.Motivate your daughter to exercise with her teenaged friends. Teenage is the time when catching up or hanging out with friends is most important for those youngsters. Your phone bill probably is proof of this! Cash in on their constant need for companionship by encouraging them to join activities with a friend or letting them invite friends along for a walk. Chances are they’ll be so busy chatting with each other, they won’t even notice they’re working out. The focus should be on having fun while exercising.
You’ve hosted birthday parties, endured dance practices and praised academic success—just about celebrated every milestone in your child’s life. Why not celebrate her fitness achievements as well? But rather than rewarding their improved fitness with a big fat chocolate cake, choose prizes that will further their athletic pursuits, such as a new football, a pair of good sports shoes or tickets to a cricket/tennis match.
