What is a healthy diet and exercise routine for a teenager?

I’m 13 years old and I don’t do any exercise. I’m not fat, I’m just average. But I don’t think I’m really that healthy so I want to know a healthy diet and exercise routine. I’m not really aiming to lose weight. I only take a walk around the neighborhood for 30~45 minutes. I just eat anything that I like. I’m not very obsessed with my weight I’m just trying to be healthy people!!!

Use exercises that use you own body weight (like push-up, pull ups, dips n such). If your going for a nice stomach, I’ve found combining leg lifts as you do a crunch is quite effective. As far as diet, stay away from high sugar intake. People become addicted to sugar and it starts in the early teens. Drink mostly water. Eat a healthy balance, and maybe talk to your parents about taking a multi-vitamin too. Cardio is important and when the motivation hits you go jogging. Start with 15mins and increase the time at your pace.
