Task+3

Diet is not the only important factor in health for adolescents, physical activity also pays a major role. You can not have one without the other.

Go to these Websites and look at the Australian Physical Guidelines for Adolescents. [|Physical Activity Guidelines] http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/health-pubhlth-strateg-phys-act-guidelines#rec_12_18

Think about what physical activity you do on average per week. Are you doing enough?



Jimmy is a very inactive 13 year old, he spends most of his time in front of the TV, playing computer games or video games. Your task is to create a brainstorm in Inspiration, come up with some ideas on how Jimmy can become more physically active and how. Here is a list of equipment and facilities he has access too (be creative):
 * Park, oval
 * Lives near a recreation centre that has a swimming pool, organised sport (eg. basketball competitions) and stadium courts
 * Has a dog
 * His mum, dad, sister and brother all live at home.
 * His neighbourhood is surrounded by footpaths
