Teens should aim for between eight and 15 reps per exercise, suggests KidsHealth.

Flexibility training rounds out a healthy fitness plan for teens, helping them to retain range of motion, while activities such as jumping rope help retain bone strength. Both types of activities are important for a teen's overall health.

At the same time, pull your upper body off the mat with your abdominal muscles until your body is holding a V shape. In this position, reach your right arm across to your left side and back again, twisting at your trunk.
Repeat with the left arm in this deep core-strengthening exercise. After several repetitions, lower yourself onto the mat for a rest.

They can combine the above exercises with a balanced high-intensity cardio routine for optimal health. Establishing this routine at a young age will help to keep them fit and toned both now and later in life.
