Nutrition and Exercise Needs of Your Teen

• Encourage her to try new, physically active activities, such as rock climbing, hiking, skiing or snowboarding.
• Make exercise a family affair - find a physical activity everyone enjoys and do it together.
• Give her a pedometer and challenge her to collect at least 11,000 to 12,000 steps a day (the amount recommended for adolescents). Once she hits that figure, challenge her to do more.
