Picture taken from google Many teenagers perceived themselves as too slender or overweight. For teenage girls ages 12 to 17, anywhere between 95 pounds to 120 pounds is amazing! For boys of the same age, 85 pounds to 130 pounds is perfect. Even though this is what is considered fit, it all depends on height. “However, women with the same BMI but different body weights and heights can differ significantly with regard to their weight gain” (Neonatol, Relationship between Weight and Body).The taller a person is, the more weight is needed to provide the correct amount of nutrients. Many students at Bear River High School enjoy working out in their own ways.
Abram Dow, a student at Bear River High School, enjoys spending most of his free time at the gym. “I started lifting and going to the gym heavily about five months ago.” Dow said. He wanted to be able to get stronger and work on his own body image. “Fitness is super important to me. I want to be able to look and feel my best.” Dow also mentioned that he goes to the gym for about an hour and a half to two hours a day. Even though this is how long he goes for, he said it is very important to pace yourself and make sure you aren’t overworking your body. He recommends starting at half an hour to forty-five minutes. Eugene Wilcox, a gym teacher at Bear River, talked about how important fitness is to him as well. He loves being able to help kids be active and feel their absolute best at all times. “ I think everybody should try and exercise at least once a week. It makes you feel good and can help strengthen your immune system.” Wilcox said. He also talked about how he believes it is easier for teenagers to get fit and stay that way. “They just seem to have a lot more time than adults.” When asked what his favorite way to exercise was, Wilcox made it very clear that it was not running. “It’s definitely the best way to do it, but I hate it.” he said. Fitness is an important thing for everyone because it helps with physical and mental health.
