NIFTY idea for parents of teens

By MALLORY COATS

Some parents have the angel child that when they come home they immediately go to work on homework. Others are not so lucky. If your teenager just comes home and goes straight to the tv then here is a cool energy saving tip I learned from Dr. Main. Studies show that kids who watch more tv get less exercise. And kids who watch tv all the time just run up the energy bill. Mr. Main told me that he used to make his kids hook up exercise bikes to the tv and they had to pedal whenever they wanted to watch. So they get to watch tv and they get exercise. And when they get tired maybe they will finally do their homework.

So do all teenagers exercise? NO
Can they? HECK YES!
