[quote=Anonymous]My 14 yo DS is not getting enough physical activity. He is not interested in sports, and is not all that coordinated. He could do activities on his own but is unmotivated even to take a walk regularly -- so much whining and pushback (I know, I need to keep pushing him). I think he might be willing to do martial arts, but the challenge I see is that as a beginner, he'd probably be in with 5 year olds. I think its challenging in general to get a 14 yo to start a new sport, when it seems like most teens in a sport have been doing it already for years and are good at it. Questions: -- how have you structured things to get your uninterested kid to stay active? -- Any suggestions on martial arts (or other personal fitness) classes that would work for a beginner 14 year old boy? -- Any ways to make an individual athletic activity more engaging for an unmotivated teen? Thanks. [/quote]
