Teen Walk

Hey Teens!

Its time to ‘Get Your Walk On’

with….

“Teen Walk’

Finally there’s a workout that JUST FOR YOU! That’s right, this isn’t any ordinary workout you see everyday because its make FOR TEENS ONLY! Teen Walk is a brand new workout DVD created by Walk At Home, Inc. - Leslie Sansone. Teen Walk features a fun and youthful cast that will inspire and motivate you to ‘Get Your Walk On!

With all the buzz around what being in shape looks like, we often forget that being in shape does not mean we need to look a certain way. The shape you are isn't the same thing as the shape you are in. It’s hard not to compare ourselves to celebrity bodies and wonder why our bodies do not look the same. Realize that being in shape isn't about fitting into an itsy-bitsy bikini, skimping on meals, or winning the race. You should strive to be in shape because it is good for your health. It becomes unhealthy when you exercise to look like someone else. Sure, it can become difficult to ignore all the flashy photographs of celebrities in their designer clothing, but being shape isn't only about looking good. Being in shape is being fit and happy with the shape you have.

Teen Walk is a great way to incorporate all components of physical fitness-done in the comfort of your living room! The workout includes a 2 mile walk; your cardio component, a firming section that uses a firming band; this is your muscle strength and endurance component, and a stretching segment; which will improve your flexibility. Leslie’s motto, “Staying fit shouldn’t be intimidating or expensive,” is a great reason to try Teen Walk. Although participating in sports is a great way to stay in shape, it can be intimating and/or expensive for a lot of people. Teen Walk takes out the intimidation, leaving a lot of room for effectiveness! Invite your friends over for a Teen Walk fitness party and workout together- what a great way to support one another!

Along with the workout, a brand new website, www.teenswalk.com, will be your free online fitness tool. You have the chance to share your success stories, learn more about the Teen Walk cast, read teen related articles, sample free on-line workout videos and much more!

It was said that it is her choice to stay at home because at age 18 you are not required to stay with your parents. Another teen stated that being 18 does not determine you mind set as being "Grown" and if you do not get your mind right you are not considered "Grown"(an adult). Listening and learning are both factors in being "Grown"(an adult).
