Playing sports with others can be even more fun!
If you want to try out a new sport, ask a friend who already does it to tell you more about it.
Many schools have different levels of sports teams you can join. Just ask around!
Many towns and communities have sports leagues you can join. You can usually find more information on your town’s website.
Before you sign up for anything, be sure to discuss it with your parents!
Are you a “couch potato” who wants to start sweating? Let’s make a plan!
Start with small goals and build them up slowly. This way, you won’t be completely worn out after the first time you exercise.
You can watch yourself become more and more fit. Who knows? Maybe physical activity will become a new healthy habit for you.
You don’t want to change anything? Tell us why!
Hate is a harsh word – perhaps you don’t like the feeling you get when doing physical activity or exercise.
Here are some ways to make exercise more fun:
- Do activities together with friends or family (or your pet)
- Combine the physical activity with something you know you like (e.g., listening to your favorite music, podcast, or audiobook while briskly walking).
- Choose activities that best fit you
- Swap out activities you find boring
- Start by becoming more active in your daily life (e.g., taking the stairs)
- Set small, achievable goals for each day. These will give you a sense of accomplishment and help you make physical activity a habit.
Awesome! Only 16% of people do, and you’re one of them!
Keep it up! And no cheating – be sure you aren’t counting raising your hand in class as part of your daily exercise routine.
People spend their time doing what they find important. Getting enough exercise is a choice we make!
Remember, you can increase your physical activity by making different choices in the things you are already doing (e.g., walking instead of driving, taking the stairs instead of the elevator).
Walking between classes is a good start. But unless you’re going to classes in different cities, that’s not enough exercise!
Exercising when you don’t feel well can be challenging – but it’s not impossible!
Exercise is actually good for tension-type headaches. You should avoid high-impact activities if you have a headache. However, the distraction and the endorphins released by brisk walking (or other low-impact activities) can actually help your headache.
If you have a migraine, taking a break from exercise makes total sense. BUT… the day after the migraine, you can start again.
