Xulia is a 12 year old girl living in a Galician village. Already going to the Institute: this year she started ESO. She usually goes by bus, which she picks up in front of her house. Not that she lives very far from the Institute, she could walk. It would take about 10 minutes. But many days it rains, or it is cold, and the friends go on the bus ... So she too, so they catch up on many interesting things before they get to class.

In recess, at the Institute, Xulia goes to the cafeteria and always buys a cola and a cake. She sits there, sipping her breakfast. It is the first thing she takes in the day, because at home, when she gets up, she does not feel like taking anything.

In the afternoon she always stays with her friends in the house of some of them, to snack and do some homework. Then she goes home, watches TV, dinner and before going to bed she plays with the game console. Sometimes the games go on until very late, and the next day she's pretty tired.

Physical activity in adolescence

Look for information on physical activity in the Galicia Saudable website, .

Do you think Xulia should change some of her habits? Which? Why?

Together with your teammates, open a text document in Google Drive and explain five physical habits of teenagers your age who you think are harmful to your health, and then give them a healthy alternative to each of those habits.

When you finish the document, share it with your teacher.
