It seems unnecessary to say that we all need regular exercise for good health. As well as keeping the muscles (including the heart) and other body tissues in good shape, exercise refreshes your spirits by relieving tension caused by stress.
Many teenagers are so busy with their studies that they give up sport to spend more time with their books. It becomes a bit of a vicious cycle: the less exercise you do, the less fit you are and the less you want to do.
If you don’t play sport regularly, try to have about 20 minutes exercise at least every second day. It doesn’t matter what you do – walking, swimming, cycling, skipping – anything that gets you moving is good for your health and you’ll feel more alert when you go back to your desk. Dancing makes a great break from studies. ‘Letting your hair down’ to half a dozen of your favorite rock songs is equal to a good 20-minute workout at the gym.
It’s also important to start pelvic-floor exercises in your teens so that you can learn good control of these very important muscles while they are undamaged by child-bearing. Keeping these muscles in good shape will also increase your enjoyment of sex, when the time comes for that.
