You've probably heard countless times how exercise is "good for you", but do you know that it can
actually help you feel good, too? Getting the right amount of exercise can speed up your energy levels
and even help you to feel better emotionally.
However, like all good things, it's possible to overdo on exercise. Although exercising is a great way
to maintain a healthy weight, exercising too much to lose weight isn't healthy. The body needs enough
calories to function properly. Remember that you're still growing and will continue to do so throughout
your teen years. You'll need the energy to fuel the growth.
Exercising too much in an effort to burn calories and lose weight can be a sign of an eating disorder.
If you have any doubts about how much you should be exercising, talk with a school nurse or family
doctor. And if you ever get the feeling that your exercise is in charge of you rather than the other way
around, talk with your doctor, a parent, or another adult you trust.
Considering the benefits to the heart, muscles, and mind, it's easy to see why exercise is wise. If you
exercise now, keep it up as you become an adult (this is often the biggest exercise challenge for people
as they get busy with college and careers). One of the great things about exercise is that it's never too
late to start. And don't forget that even small things can count as exercise when you're starting out-like
taking a short bike ride or sweeping fallen leaves. Even walking your dog counts as part of your 60 minutes
a day of exercise (and your vet will tell you that animals need workouts just like humans do, so if your
family dog is fat, he'll benefit from your dedication, too).
