Exercise Safety
It is important to follow your healthcare provider's advice about fitness. The exercises featured here are for teens that are in good health and have no physical restrictions. Be sure to listen to your body. Exercise should feel like you are working out, but not like you are injuring your body. If a particular exercise or stretch hurts, STOP immediately. You may be performing the task incorrectly, working beyond your limits or injuring your body. If you feel dizzy, have trouble breathing, or experience any pain while you are exercising, STOP.
Your body needs energy (food and fluids) to perform at it's best. Our Sports Nutrition Guide will help you understand what you should eat and drink before, during and after exercising so that you will feel good and have a safe workout.
Remember, before doing this or any exercise program, be sure to consult with your own healthcare provider.
