Exercise

Simple Exercise Suggestions

Regular physical activity supports heart health, reduces stress levels and improves overall quality of life. 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week is recommended. While exercise strengthens the body, it also positively affects mental health.

Exercise improves cardiovascular health, muscle development and fitness. It is recommended to perform cardio, strength training and stretching exercises in a balanced manner.

The Importance of Exercise for Physical Health

Exercise has a significant impact on high school students' physical and mental well-being. Regular physical activity improves overall health, reduces stress levels, and enhances concentration skills. Additionally, it improves sleep quality and boosts energy levels, helping students focus more efficiently on their studies.

Research shows that students who exercise regularly have a better mood and higher self-confidence. Experts recommend that teenagers engage in physical activity at least 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes. Parents can support their children's physical and mental well-being by encouraging an active lifestyle.

Tips for an Active Lifestyle

Regular exercise strengthens both the body and mind! Here are some easy tips:

• Support Your Height Growth with Evening Stretching:Do stretching exercises (for shoulders, back, and legs) before bed. This helps relax your spine and may support height growth.
• Active Breaks After School:Take a 5-minute jump rope session or walk up and down the stairs every hour while studying.
• Family Activities:Plan a weekly family walk or bike ride.
• Find a Sport You Enjoy:Basketball, swimming, dancing… Choose an activity you love and stick to it!

Note for Parents:

• ✔ Respect your child's sports preferences; don’t force them.
• ✔ Make physical activities fun by doing household chores together (dusting, gardening, etc.).
