Question 10

are there any good fitness programs specifically designed  for teens?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: The problem is resistance training in individuals with bones that are not done growing. If that is you, focus on good form, using low weights, and high reps. Another approach is doing resistance training without weights at all.
