Answer 2

Answer

As a teen, your goal should be to puts habits in place that will last for a lifetime. Try to be more active in your daily life; every little bit counts.

Try to involve all three components of fitness: cardio/aerobic, strength training, and stretching. Cardio and strength training are the most important for fitness and health.

Work for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. It doesn't have to be formal exercise to count; exercise should be a fun and natural part of life!

There are hundreds of free or inexpensive ways to get exercise. Play frisbee, go on a walk as you talk on the phone, take a dance class, try an active (Wii) video game.

Resistance (strength) training can be done at home. A few inexpensive pieces of equipment, such as a Swiss ball and resistance band, can help, but are not necessary. Try to target all major muscle groups rather than isolating small ones. This means doing full body exercises such as lunges, squats, rows, and so forth. It is very important to perform all exercises with correct form. Otherwise you will likely hurt yourself. There are plenty of reliable internet sites (make sure they are not trying to sell a product or promoting unhealthy practices) that contain videos and how-to's on weight training. I also recommend consulting with the P.E. teacher at your school, who can help you put together a good workout and demonstrate the moves to you. Local YMCAs or a gym can help, too, though that may cost a little money.

I hope this information helps! For some more solid and easy to understand advice, check out the guide to exercise for girls by clicking on 'fitness' at www.girlshealth.gov. Good luck and have fun! And remember that fitness is a life-long endeavor, so rather than forcing yourself to do things you can't or won't maintain, focus on establishing long-term healthy habits and becoming more active in your everyday life.

AnswerAs far as how long to exercise - forever (or however long you want to be healthy).

What exercise depends on you. Great for women include; aerobics, Tae-bo, speed walking, yoga. Running/jogging is great too, but if you are large busted, get a very good bra so you don't get stretch marks.

Answer 3

If you want a fun and interesting work out routine, I suggest this:

-Jogging (Although stretching,weight lifting, etc. Will build muscle, cardio still works off fat)

-Yoga (Fun and insanely relaxing. I enjoy doing mine on Wii fit. If you don't own a Wii any Yoga DVD will work wonders)

- Dancing (Dancing is a fun interactive way to maintain weight. If you decide to do this dance classes or even Dance Dance Revolution are great ways to maintain health)

- Healthy Diet ( Eating healthy is a number 1 priority if you want to maintain a healthy weight.)

-Warm up/ Cool down Stretches ( Important for not injuring yourself during a workout routine)

Hope this helps! :)

Get out and DO something; run, ride a bicycle, play Racquetball, swim... anything that gets the heart pumping and makes it a LITTLE difficult to talk. Heavy breathing associated with exercise is a GOOD thing.
