Why Physical Fitness Is Important for Teenagers

So what do you commonly hear baby boomer compare and take notice of the younger generation of the present age? That kids are glued on the gadgets they actually have no knowledge of, while they used to be running around the village playing hide and seek when they were in those age.

Reality check: Things have changed, and so have those villages now turned into massive structures, most commonly known as malls and offices. The meat of it, as well, is that technology has evolved, and so have products you’d see in the market.

Uh-oh, I can easily hear baby boomer disgruntle, along with doctors, nutritionists and health experts. They basically unanimously agree with the logic: Food + Less exercise = Slower metabolism = Obesity. And what’s the worse thing in that equation? A domino effect of teenagers battling a lot of harsh elements as teasing and bullying, as well as television projections of skinny models regarded as beautiful, which logically result to other problems as depression, anorexia, bulimia, and as early as getting those “adult” ailments, diabetes, arthritis and heart problem conditions. So how to deal with this battle of the older said this, the younger feels that? Involvement in physical fitness activities. You might find the baby boomer smirking at this, but read through and you will be smirking back.

There are about countless things a home or a school can incorporate to get those kids out of those couches and up on their feet. There is cycling, dancing, jogging, sports involvement, gym, ice skating, skating, trampoline exercises and aerobic classes - among, again, countless others. So what’s the point? It’s to get the kids physically fit - meaning, getting the optimal functioning of the person’s body, as those of the heart, lungs and muscles. Along with it that domino effect of kids feeling a lot greater about themselves, getting that self-esteem, confidence, and energy to have more fun. In a phrase, it spells positivity about life.

But here’s the deal. So you find it hard to get involved in physical training, and rather stay at home than getting all greased up outside the house. So how about an alternative proposition: Exercise at home. You can make it rather fun through the use of those gadgets and technology baby boomers are frowning upon on. Get them to smile now when you fully utilize their functions. There’s WII for one, as well as those virtual reality computer programmed equipment. But, there’s a but to it. You have to choose a routine that you are comfortable of doing everyday - without a miss, as much as possible. Would you rather go for those videos of tae bo or hip hop abs? Then go sweat it out!

In this time and age, you would most definitely commonly hear baby boomer compare and take notice of how things are different with their time and the present generation. But just hear them out, as they mean only good things, only their delivery might need a little exercise, as well. They mean good, and they only want to get their grand kids more healthy, and ultimately very much happy, as well.
