Why Exercise Matters
Take a look around at teens. They have countless social media tools that are supposed to help them be more connected with others than ever. Unfortunately, these social sites can cause teens to forget how to socialize with real people in real life. Get these kids to the gym and encourage them to exercise with other teens, and you give them an instant lesson in socialization.

But exercise is about more than being socially adept. It’s about good health. And in case you’ve not picked up a newspaper or magazine in the last 10 years, you should know that there is an obesity epidemic currently taking place. It’s affected plenty of adults, but it is now affecting teens as well – especially as they spend less time exercising and more time sitting around watching television, playing video games, texting, and chatting online. Get your teen exercising today, and you’ll help them obtain and maintain a healthy weight and develop lifelong healthy habits.

How to Get Them Moving

Sometimes, getting a teenager to do something is as easy as teaching a rhinoceros to fetch. Don’t let their attitude get you down. Remember your own attitude problems as a teenager, take a deep breath, and prepare to put up a fight. When you’re going into battle with your teen, try these tips out.

Make It Fun. Remember when your teen was a toddler? Exercise wasn’t something you forced him or her to do. It just happened, via hide-and-seek, tag, or just running all day long. Find what physical activities interest your teens, and encourage him or her to get out and do it.

Up the Chores. Is your teen lazing around the house doing nothing, while you’re working frantically to keep everything in order? Flip your teen’s world upside down by having him or her take over some of the more physically demanding chores. Have your teen rake leaves, plant flowers, scrub toilets, and take out the garbage. It may not be the same as lifting weights, but it’ll get your teen’s body on the move!

Do It Together. If your child isn’t motivated to get in the gym on his or her own, offer to do it together. Whether you lift weights, ride bikes, swim, or hike, doing it as a family makes it easier to keep your teen on an exercise schedule.

Take It Easy. Your teen needs to exercise. There is no question about it. Just don’t let this need override your parenting know-how. Ever tried to force your teen to do something he or she didn’t want to do? Didn’t work so well, did it? Remember this when working with your teen, and encourage your teen gently. You may be surprised at the end result.

How Much? While medical experts normally recommend adults get 30 minutes of exercise five or more days a week, the same doesn’t hold true for teenagers. Instead, try to get your teen to exercise for at least 60 minutes most days of the week. It doesn’t have to be incredibly vigorous. A light jog, a game of kickball, or riding bikes will do the trick.Dr. Kenneth Cooper, who coined the term, “aerobics” lists the Ten Commandments to Get A Kid To Exercise in his book, “Kid Fitness”. One of the most effective tools in that list is to PAY them. That’s right! Pay them for doing it and when they will begin to see the benefits that will motivate them to continue– even when you stop the payment incentive.

If you want to expedite you and your teen’s results then consider working with me on a fitness plan that will turn you both into fat burning machines.

Teen Weight Loss Camp in Nevada

Teen Weight Loss Camp in Las Vegas-Henderson, Nevada

Obese boy celebrates his ninth birthday at teen weight loss camp with parents and boot camp team.

Every day is a fitness day at Las Vegas Live-in Fitness Teen Weight Loss Camp.

 The birthday agenda started with a group bike ride, TRX total body conditioning, and team jump rope with adults and kids together. The group presented the birthday boy with a Nerf football and he led his peers in throws and kicks while adults applauded their efforts. Back at the live-in fitness residence, the kids enjoyed friendly competition with bean bag tossing. When adults include kids in their conditioning and recreational activities, good habits and attitudes are established. The teen obesity epidemic won’t affect your family when you schedule time for the whole family to be fit. You won’t need a teen weight loss camp for your kids!

We can thank the Baby Boomers for recent advances in research and development for arthritis. Safer treatments will improve the quality of life for all–not just the senior population.

Arthritis isn’t just a disease that affects aging adults.

While it is true that a lot of people will develop arthritis as they age, it is also true that plenty of younger people are afflicted with it as well. Many people develop arthritis after breaking a bone. Some individuals have a genetic predisposition to get early onset arthritis. It is easier for you to pick out a good course of therapy if you learn how to recognize the early symptoms. This can help you keep your full range of activity for longer in life. If you let early onset arthritis to take hold, it will be a lot more challenging for you to stay healthy and fit. Here are several things to look for.

Joint pain is an evident warning of arthritis.

While joint pain is a symptom of lots of things, one of the more obvious causes for it is arthritis. If the pain in your joints worsens with weather conditions (most particularly moisture in the air or dropped temperatures) or only comes on when you have a fever it is more likely an indicator of the early stages of arthritis. Talk to your physician about doing some X-Rays and finding out what the underlying cause for your joint pain may be. Don’t just pop pain medication and expect it to go away.

Another indication of arthritis is the reduced ability to move your joints normally.

Everybody deals with stiffness from time to time. If we have been affected by the flu our muscles get tense and our joints get inflexible. If the stiffness sticks around even after the illness has got better, then you should have it medically evaluated. Do not try to merely “stretch” or “exercise it away.” You could end up accidentally tearing a muscle and making the condition worse for yourself. A family doctor can determine early onset arthritis after doing a number of muscle tests.

Arthritis diagnosis-earlier the better.

More and more advances are made in this area daily. The truth is, if you catch it in the early stages of the disease, there are lots of treatments and medications that you can use to reduce the speed of the disease’s advancement. You are no longer bound to copper bracelets and struggling. There happens to be quite a few new developments that allow people to keep their range of motion for a long time. Try to keep an optimistic frame of mind. There are lots of people who suffer from arthritis that have completely normal lives.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found more than half of adults diagnosed diabetes also have arthritis. Another important finding released by the government in 2008 suggests that nearly one in two people will develop painful knee osteoarthritis over their lifetime, with the highest risk among those who are obese.

Avoid the risk of obesity-related arthritis by learning to manage your weight.

Learn to Live In Fitness and you won’t have to worry about Arthritis or other diseases brought on by negligence.

Jack LaLanne started the first fitness show on TV in 1957 at age 43 when he taught viewers the fitness lifestyle.

Television had just become available in American households and his popular program continued to air for 34 years. His message was always consistent and his life exemplified health, and wellness through a fitness lifestyle. As a child, I cannot forget my activities in front of the television while mimicking Jack Lalanne’s exercises.

He enjoyed the benefit of good health until his recent death at age 96 and had exercised daily throughout his life. For his 60th and 70th birthdays he performed public exhibitions with his physical fitness feats that were amazing. Jack Lalanne swam a mile and a half with his hands shackled while pulling 70 boats full of people to celebrate his 70 years of life. He claimed he did this to prove to people that anything is possible at any age when you life a fitness lifestyle.

Due to his fitness lifestyle, Jack was an inspiration to countless people for health and fitness.

His mentor was Paul Bragg, the legendary nutrition guru who started the first health food stores. You can still purchase Bragg food products such as Bragg’s Amino Acids at any food store in the health section. Let Jack Lalanne’s senior fitness legacy inspire you to learn the fitness lifestyle of daily exercise and good nutrition.
