Fitness and physical activity are important for all ages. However, there are some exercises that teenagers should avoid doing.
Over Head Squats
This exercise requires a lot of strength. Most teenagers have developing bodies and this can lead to spine injury.
Deadlifting
Deadlifting with moderate weights is okay. However, using heavy weights can lead to reverse pressure on the spine.
Bent Over Rows
Bent-over rows can lead to back pain in teenagers and pinched muscles and nerves.
Abs Machine
Abs machine is teenagers' favourite gym equipment. However, it can give you a bad posture.
Leg Press
Teenagers are in their growing phase and they shouldn't put pressure on their knees. In some cases, it can stunt height.
Overhead Press
The overhead press puts direct pressure on your ball and socket joints. It can lead to chronic pain in the shoulders and spine.
Conclusion
Teenagers should perform weighted exercises in the presence of a trainer only to avoid injuries.
