Before starting any new exercise program, it's important for teenagers to consult with a parent or guardian and, if necessary, seek guidance from a fitness professional to ensure safety.

High Knees (2 minutes):

Stand with feet hip-width apart.

Arm Circles (1 minute):

Extend your arms to the sides and make small circles in a clockwise motion.

After 30 seconds, switch to an anti-clockwise motion.

 

Strength Training: Perform each exercise for 3 sets of 12-15 reps, gradually increasing intensity as you progress.

Bodyweight Squats:

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.

Lower your body into a squat position, keeping your chest up and knees over your toes.

Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.

 

Cardiovascular Exercise: Choose your favorite cardio activity and perform it for 20-30 minutes to elevate your heart rate.

Jump Rope:

If you don't have a rope, mimic the motion without it.

Jump continuously for the duration of the cardio session.

Dance Workout:

Follow a dance workout video or create your own dance routine to your favorite music.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT):

Alternate between 30 seconds of intense exercise (e.g., burpees, jumping jacks) and 30 seconds of rest.

 

Cool Down: Finish your workout with a cool down to gradually bring your heart rate down and improve flexibility.

Static Stretching (5-10 minutes):

Focus on major muscle groups, holding each stretch for 15-30 seconds.

Include stretches for your legs, arms, back, and shoulders.

 

Hydration and Nutrition:

Stay hydrated throughout your workout, and remember to refuel with a balanced meal or snack after exercising. Include a mix of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to support muscle recovery and overall health.
