The Best Way to more
Getting more active doesn't have to be complicated! Here are some fun and easy ways to move more:
- Start with just 10 minutes of walking each day - that's like walking around the block!
- Dance to your favorite music in your room
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator
- Join a school sports team or after-school activity
- Play active video games like Just Dance or Nintendo Switch Sports
The key is to find something you enjoy! Experts say teens should get about 60 minutes of activity each day, but you can break this up into smaller chunks.
Pro Tips:
- Invite friends to exercise with you - it's more fun together!
- Set reminders on your phone
- Track your progress with a free fitness app
