    In addition, to walking and biking, check out these eleven ways to stay fit indoors AND outdoors with the power of your favorite music pumping in your veins, and lighting up good endorphins in your brain! Here is a link to how music can lift your spirit and mood.

    Most ideas below are from your fellow teens:

    1. Find a FITNESS APP you like, such as Nike Training Club, PilatesAnytime, Peleton Fitness, Orange Theory...then ask a friend to join you to set shared goals and hold each other accountable
    2. Play soccer with the family dog
    3. Just Dance! (PlayStation5 and it’s upgraded version coming soon!) or literally just dance in your bedroom with your music pumping
    4. Order a trampoline for one, plus a set of juggling balls, and then put it all together (Talk about brain and body merging!)
    5. Jump rope, take a swim in your pool, bring your yoga mat outside ... or alternate between all three for your own “triathalon”
    6. Any free fitness workout on YouTube or via a local studio, such as cardio, yoga, weights, mediation, Tai Chi, choreography, dance....so many ideas
    7. Make or learn a TikTok dance video (it’s not beneath you;)
