Times are changing rapidly. Back then (in the 80s, 90s), teenagers had fun by playing in the street with their friends, going skiing, going to fun house parties, and so on. These forms of enjoyment still exist today, but most teenagers are more comfortable on their beds operating their cellphones and watching videos on YouTube with their computer all day.
This new lifestyle habit might seem harmless, but there are lots of health, mental and psychological issues that could arise as a result. For these and many other reasons, parents today are confused about how to get their children out of this digital lifestyle and into the real world.
The easiest way to get maximum benefits from your body is by working it and playing with it equally. That’s why encouraging your teenagers to exercise is one of the best gifts you can give them at their age.
Let us look at some of the reasons why you should encourage your teens to exercise and keep fit:
It helps improve brainpower
Exercise helps optimize your mind to become more alert and attentive, so that grasping tough concepts become a walk in the perk for you. It also encourages nerve cells to bind to one another and this allows for the acceptance of new information. Constant aerobic exercise does not only make the brain alert to receive and grasp new information easily, it also helps the brain retain information better.
It helps build your kids socially
While social media will help introduce your teen to a lot of people all around the world, it could have an adverse effect on your child’s social life. That’s why many teens are comfortable sitting at home, having a million friends, when they have zero friends in real life. Exercise helps your kids interact with people and build a social life, especially if they register with a gym, or a fitness group.
If you want your teens to get out of their digitalized lifestyle for a while, then you must find a way to get them to exercise more often.
It helps reduce the risk of mental illnesses
Depression, ADHD, PTSD and other traumas can be drastically reduced with the right use of exercise, as studies have shown. This is because endorphins are produced in the brain during the process of exercising, so general feelings of well-being are greatly improved. Also, exercise helps release dopamine in the brain, so you get fired up and feel wonderful throughout the day.
If you have teens that are going through depression or have depressive moods (which is very common with people in their age group), then convincing them to exercise would be in their best interest.
It helps improve your child’s discipline
Teenagers are the most undisciplined set of humans in the world. The easiest way to instill discipline in this bunch is to get them to do something consistently, especially something that generally makes them feel better, improves their social life and makes them smarter. Also, by teaching them to exercise at this age, you help them get used to the exercise culture, and that will help them lead healthier lives in the future.
Apart from the obvious health benefits of exercising, there are many hidden social and psychological benefits you stand to gain when you convince your adolescents to take up exercising as a hobby, and some of them are listed above.
