It’s funny what happens to gyms across the country around 2:30 to about 4. This is when the typical “housewife" leaves the gym and the typical high school (or college) student comes in to workout. They aren’t concerned with teen fitness, teen health or college health. They are much more concerned with other things.
If teens today cared about teen health and teen fitness, they might get better results at the gym, look better, feel better, etc. But they aren’t concerned with teen health. They are concerned with how they look and the numbers they put up.
College students and high school students (males and females, unfortunately….each have their own specific flaws) come to the gym typically for social/ego purposes.
(Before you bombard me with messages about how you are concerned with teen health and teen fitness, let me say I am generalizing after years and years in the gym).
Males at the gym not concerned with teen fitness: It’s a numbers game, not a teen heath game. By that I mean they throw on three plates on each side to squat, bend their knees three inches, and stand up. BOOM. They can now go to the locker room and say they squatted 315. Not exactly teen fitness.
Females at the gym: social hour, not teen health or college health. Either it’s boy hunting, or talking amongst yourselves between sets.
College health is not about chit chatting.
Teen health is not about squatting large numbers.
Teen fitness is not about socializing.
Now, don't get me wrong, teen health and teen fitness can be accomplished in a social atmosphere. But college health and teen health needs good workouts also. College health is a major problem with buffets and Jack Daniels, and college health will not improve while sorority sisters talk.
Teen fitness and teen health is about good, hard workouts.
College health is about simple lifestyle changes.
Teen health, teen fitness and college health can easily be accomplished with small workout and life changes. College health is key to living a healthy life in 30 years. Teen health and teen fitness is vital to starting off your life healthy.
Quick tips to improve teen health and college health:
-Shorten, but intensify your workouts.
-Talk less, lift more
-Lift weights to lose weight (very important to teen fitness and college health)
-Have fun!
Teen health, college health and teen fitness is easy and fun! Get fit, stay fit, live longer and live happier!
