High-Performance Machinery

Your body is truly amazing. You have learned about the intricacy of the bones, muscles, and joints, and how they move and support you. Look at the image of the gymnast. Think about everything that is taking place among her bones, muscles, and joints, and how these give her strength and range of motion.

You need to take care of your body by remaining active, whether it is with sports or some other physical activity; however, too much activity and not enough rest can be harmful. It is recommended that teens participate in at least sixty minutes of moderate activity a day every day of the week. This activity should include both aerobic and resistance training. Do not forget to get enough rest to allow your body to recover.

Remember, your body can be a high-performing machine with proper training and maintenance.
