Nutrition is extremely important to leading a healthy life, but with all the food options in the world, exercise is still vital to good health. A lot of people nowadays seem to have trouble keeping themselves active. I admit, I might be one of them. What we must remember is that we spend most of our days sitting down at a desk for eight hours. If you're at work, perhaps you can get up for a few minutes and walk around. High school students, though, are in class all through the day. There is no time, it seems, for any exercise in between classes or after school, what with homework, extracurriculars, mealtimes, etc. What can we do to exercise?
Firstly, exercise during leisure time. You know, exercise doesn't have to stink. If you're watching TV, sit on an exercise ball, and do situps, or simply jump up and down. Do something, anything. Just keep yourself moving. Also, make time to exercise. I know, I know-- you have a busy schedule. But would you rather be miserable and fat for and extra half-hour three days a week? Definitely worth it. And do what you like. Why torture yourself (granted, you feel great after challenging yourself), but if what you like to do is swimming, for instance, then swim. But actually do it! In addition, a great suggestion is exercising with friends. Last night at dinner with my friends, we got on the subject of exercise. One of us mentioned she had gotten the Zumba series to do at home. After dinner, we headed over to her house and had the most amount of fun, simply mocking the moves on the tape. I don't think we did a single move right, but we were moving all right! We were worn out by the end of the tape, sweating, with aching abs just from the laughing. Seriously, get yourself a friend and a lame exercise tape, and just roll with it. Joke around and show off your dance moves, and have some fun! You won't even notice that you're exercising!
