Not only do they love the buzz from the achievements that come with focusing on a healthy body, it also helps them sustain a positive attitude to the academic and social stresses of day-to-day life.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, they still might enjoy the occasional lie-in on a weekend, but it seems for many, this has moved to the bottom of the list of their favorite past-times. Here \u2013 in the first of my series on these six real teenagers living active lives \u2013 they explain their approach to being healthy and what staying fit means to them (in columns coming up, they will outline their sporting loves and goals).<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tippa Chan (TC): Tippa is a 14-year-old competitive swimmer who attends Chinese International School. She has been swimming competitively since the age of nine, following in the footsteps of her elder siblings. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Freddie Fawcett (FF): Freddie, age 11, is about to star in HKYAF\u2019s newest production of Oliver &#8211; as Oliver himself. Freddie is a Chinese International School student &#8211; a gymnast, runner and swimmer &#8211; who competes with his older sister across a range of sports.<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Noor Shalabi (NS): Noor, aged 12, attends Harrow International School and is the daughter of Flex founder Heather Thomas Shalabi. She counts sailing, Pilates, netball and swimming as her sports. <\/em><\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>India Tory (IT): \u00a0India, aged 13, studies at Chinese International School and hails from a very sporty and fit family. India is a budding football and tennis player, golfer and runner.<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Mason Edwards (ME): Mason, aged 10, is at International Montessori. He plays ice hockey competitively, with extra time allowing him to play football, baseball, basketball. He also likes running. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Katie Lam (KL): Katherine (Katie) Lam is 13 years of age and attends Chinese International School. She is a ballet dancer and also competes in netball, football, basketball and swimming competitions. She\u2019s soon to perform at Clockenflap with Dance Kho. <\/em><\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12012\" title=\"Untitled1\" src=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Untitled1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"370\" height=\"370\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hope Patterson (HP): What does being healthy mean to you? <strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TC: Healthy means regularly exercising and eating healthy foods (fruits, vegetables, etc.) as well as sleeping well.<\/p>\n<p>FF: Being healthy means staying fit and exercising regularly.<\/p>\n<p>NS: Being healthy means staying fit and having a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables alongside exercising, but also having a balanced life. Do some sport, but also leave time for academics and social life. Don&#8217;t fill up with junk food, but don\u2019t starve yourself either.<\/p>\n<p>IT: Being healthy is one of the most important things I need. I achieve this by completing hours of exercise, eating well and being strict with my habits.<\/p>\n<p>ME: Being healthy is my top priority, as it really helps with my (chosen sport of) hockey.<\/p>\n<p>KL: Being healthy means maintaining a healthy diet and keeping your energy levels high, especially when you\u2019re still growing. I also think being healthy means keeping your physical activities consistent. Exercising &#8211; even just going for a walk &#8211; can be healthy.<\/p>\n<p>HP: Do you think a healthy mind is a healthy body?<\/p>\n<p>TC: Definitely! Without a motivated, happy and healthy mind, you won&#8217;t be able to push yourself further into living and acting healthier.<\/p>\n<p>FF: Of course. Without a healthy mind, you will not be able to keep track of when to exercise!<\/p>\n<p>NS: You need to have the right mindset to have a healthy body, but you also need to take action. Having a healthy mind means you are motivated to stay healthy and to take initiative.<\/p>\n<p>IT: Yes. If you do not think like a healthy person, how can you be healthy? If you don&#8217;t think about what you do or eat before you do it, how can you know what it will do to you? How can you prevent becoming unhealthy?<\/p>\n<p>ME: Not necessarily, because you could sit at a computer all day and be feeding your brain with knowledge, but still not doing anything.<\/p>\n<p>KL: Yes, I do think that a healthy mind is a healthy body. If you\u2019re sad an depressed, then you won\u2019t achieve much &#8211; which effects your health.<\/p>\n<p>HP: What does exercise mean to you?<\/p>\n<p>TC: Exercising means regularly doing a sport or working out and making sure that you&#8217;re improving from it each time (and obviously staying healthy throughout exercising).<\/p>\n<p>FF: Exercise means being healthy and having an appreciation of beauty and excellence.<\/p>\n<p>NS: To me, exercise means some sort of physical activity that gets your blood flowing and your heart pumping, something to make you lose calories and get in shape. Sports are exercise, as you run around and sweat, so is doing pushups, Pilates and yoga, or even walking up a flight of stairs.<\/p>\n<p>IT: Exercise means two things to me: fun and fitness. Most of the exercise I do is with other children and we work hard but also have fun. It also means fitness. This is something that is worked on while exercising. I feel like being fit is an element of being healthy and that\u2019s important to me.<\/p>\n<p>ME: To me, exercise means having a healthy body. You can\u2019t be active if you don\u2019t have a healthy body.<\/p>\n<p>KL: It means getting up and doing something active. I try to keep myself busy with at least one exercise everyday.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Next time?
