Edward Group DC, 2011). Some strategies that I think could help improve teens' daily exercise routine are obviously getting out and exercising. You can change your routine every day. Monday go cycling, Tuesday go jogging around your neighborhood, Wednesday do yoga indoors or outdoors if the weather is nice, Thursday three sets of ten jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups, squats and sit-ups at the wall, Friday go hiking, Saturday. play basketball or jump on a trampoline and run a mile on Sunday. Join a gym if you feel comfortable. Lifting weights can also improve your strength. Another strategy would be to plan your meals. It's so easy to decide you don't want to make anything for dinner and take the family out to eat. This is not a good idea. This is also where family support for exercising and eating healthy makes things easier. Some teenagers may not yet know how to drive and therefore depend on their parents. When parents make a good, healthy decision, children follow. If you bring your lunch to school each day with water, fruit, vegetables, and some type of meat, you will be on the right track. According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleeping at least eight hours a night can lead to less stress, improve the immune system and reduce high blood pressure. Another strategy is to weigh yourself every day. Don't worry if the scale doesn't change after a day of training and eat well. It takes time. Once you start seeing improvements, you will become addicted to this new lifestyle. Your attitude will change and you will start to regain your motivation
