This article really caught my eye since I am taking fitness this semester and our class has gone to Griffins Boxing to do a cardio workout. It was the hardest workout I've ever had to do, leaving me sore for days but it felt really good to do it. I think it's very important that teens are incorporating a workout into their lives since the child and teen obesity rates are high. This article really shows that they care, introducing "weight training programs" at William Griffin and Parkgate Community Center. If centers are making fun programs that don't look boring more teens will be interested it doing them. If it weren’t for me taking fitness I would never have signed up for a workout class. The workout may push you but in the end it feels rewarding and the effect is really worth it. Teens need more opportunities to sign up for classes like this and being able to have a fitness program here at Sutherland really helps. Buy a gym pass and go work out once a week, as long as your prepared and you don’t push and overdue it you will see positive changes. We need to try to help bring down the teen obesity rate even if its one step like this at a time.
