Exercise can make me taller
Your height depends on how tall your parents are and your posture. The period of rapid body growth starts at 11 years in girls and around 13 years in boys. For girls, the growth spurt happens between 12 and 16 years, with an average growth of about 3.5 inches per year. It tapers off at around 16. Boys experience their growth spurt between 14 and 18. The average growth during this period is approximately four inches every year. By age 18, most boys reach their adult height.
Strength training stunts growth
It doesn’t. Don’t let the fear stop you from being active. Pull-ups, pushups, squats and abs crunches help tone up and shape your figure. Needless to say, any form of exercise, including strength exercises can have negative consequences if performed incorrectly.
Power lifting and body building are also best avoided until you turn 16, at least.
I can bulk up easily
Strength training exercises will help you get very toned and fit. But don’t attempt to get too big or bulky, as power lifting requires physical and skeletal maturity, which only comes with adulthood.
For overall fitness you need to build stamina, strength, suppleness and stability. If you are a running enthusiast, run to build your stamina, run uphill to strengthen the leg muscles, improve suppleness by performing stretches after running. Stability can be achieved by trying to balance by running on an uneven nature trail.
Push-ups, ab crunches or pull-ups are safer than machines or free weights
Not really, as your body does not know the difference between machines, free weights (dumbbells) and its own resistance. However, it is always safer to start with easier strength exercises on machines or free weights and master the correct technique.
To ensure your exercise program is safe and effective, here are some tips to follow.Too much, too fast, too soon are the main causes of injury.
Water lost due to perspiration and sweating needs to be replaced.
Drink plenty of water before, after and during an exercise routine to prevent dehydration.Muscles need at least 48 hours of rest between workout sessions, especially while weight training.

Supplements are essential
There is a lot of hype built around protein supplements. Everyone thinks of them as some kind of wonder food that buffs up your body to superhuman proportions. Sorry to disappoint you, but this is simply not the case. Consuming protein in excess will only cause it to metabolize into fat and get stored in your body.If you are an active teen, you require one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, per day. If you are really athletic, one to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight will more than suffice.
