Dieting is a very big thing when you are young and still growing and developing and need the calories and the healthy stuff in their food to help them grow properly. Some young people are overweight, and being overweight can cause health problems, but kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic, like skipping meals or deciding to eat only lettuce.
A simple but effective way to keep healthy for children and young adults, like me, is to simply eat more healthy foods or be more active.
Which brings me onto the next part of this blog:
Being more active could simply mean walking to school or helping to walk the dog in the afternoon after school. Don't worry, if you can't do either of these things then talk to your parents about joining a sport club.
However, if, like me, you are extremely anti-social then I suggest going to the gym, most gyms do a teen membership where you are only allowed in at certain times and restricted the machines you can go on but it is still really beneficial.
My gym routine:
Firstly I go to the loo because you don't want to be half-way through a work out and you suddenly need to pee.
Then I go on the cross trainer for 45 minutes on level 7. I find this increases the heart rate and is a very good warm up.
Next I go on the bike for 30 minutes and then the tredmill for 15 minutes.
Finally, I go on the floor mats for 1 hour and do all sorts of work outs such as press ups, skipping, sit ups and all that sort of thing.
Don't worry about people looking at you, they are doing exactly the same thing. If you are self-concious then ask a friend is he/she will go with you as it is more fun that way.
Bye guys
