1) My name is Sarah Beth and I am 12
2) pilates is the best known toner for inner thighs. as for the butt problem- if you have a local ymca or rec center there are some great body sculpt classes. otherwise, you can find a good workout on the internet. if you would like, i can find one for you.
3) i LOVE abs. if you lie flat on your back and lift up your legs and pulse (one at a time) for a few minutes every day, your abs will be beautiful in no time
4) i am VERY athletic. i do track and field and cross country. also, my mom is a personal trainer/fitness instructor so she helps me with ideas. i go to the YMCA at least 3 times a week
5) every morning i do as many pushups as i can and keep track of my progress. i run to the bus stop before school, and run back after school. at school my friend keirsten and I use the gyms treadmills and stairmasters and talk before 1st period starts
6)oooooooh! i love this question! sorry, i get excited over little things. but def. AVOCADOES! i love guacomole, but its much better to eat this delicious snack raw. it does wonders for your blood pressure and also has a truckload of protien. i eat one every day after school and it makes me feel great
7) oh boy, you should meet me! so far, it is 10:58 and i have eaten: a bowl of special k, 2 bananas, a dark chocolate cherry granola bar, and some peanuts
8) hate to say it, but no. my mom does and she is willing to help
9) running. gotta love it. bike riding is a great one, just get some of your friends together and enjoy yourself
11) every day except for a few holidays, and sometimes even those!

oh yeah i 4got 2 add, i played soccor 2 (not anymre tho) (i dnt hav tme)

1. My name is maggie and I'm 14.
2. Try wall sits or chair exercises. The bikram yoga series may also be helpful =)
3. effective ab workouts could be situps and there are many bikram yoga poses that work out your abs.
4. I am very athletic, i play alot of sports including: volleyball, soccer, lacrosse and basketball.
5. My exercise is usually whatever i sport i have that day and it usually last a few hours. On the days i don't have practice, i run or jog. spin classes are also a great workout.
6.Try new things!!! Did you know that it takes 15 times to like a new food??!! Some suggestions are exoctic fruits like papaya or mangos, try cumquats or pomegranite 2! I would eat turkey sandwhiches w/ fat free cheese on a whole grain bread, delicious, and filling.
7.The key is not to stop eating, its to eat smaller amounts of food every few hours to avoid getting hungry and eating large meals or binging. The worst thing you can do is be in the kitchen when you're bored! Try eating a filling breakfast eggs and whole grain toast maybe, or multigrain cheerios, then before you eat lunch, ahve a granola bar or yogurt, lunch of turkey on a whole grain bread, then after school, maybe a fiber 1 bar, and then a balnced dinner of a protein, fruit or veggie and a complex carb.
8.No, as long as you are exercising and eating within the normal range of calories (1900-2000), you should be fine.
9. running, biking, aerobics, swimming or other sports like soccer etc. maybe join the track team to get fit.
10.I know you can do it!! i totally understand and i was overweight too, i lost 20 lbs w/ exercise adn diet. its one of the hardest things to do, for tips go on www.drweigh.com. the trick is to stick to it and think of the benefits. also, if you are going to a party, to avoid grabbing handfuls of chips, chew on gum, you can't eat if you're chewing gum.
11. About once or twice a week. comment on my pf if you need anything at all, support, advice or to share some good news!!!! keep me posted about how you're doing!! I really am interested!

Hello!
My name is Molly and I'm 13 years old.
Workouts for inner thighs:
do 'da splits, of course! and do an arabesque,
and hold it for as long as possible. do it often so your body will get the idea to tone up.
Ab workouts: Situps, crunches, hang upside down from a bar and bend up and touch your chin to your knees. and sit down on the floor with your knees bent up and just do a situp without hands and hold it. do it while watching a movie or something.
Figure skating is a GREAT way to tone up legs because your using muscles you don't use while walking and stuff. go to your local rink for open skating often.
My favorite healthy foods:
Lunch: Grilled cheese sandwhitch with whole grain bread and REAL cheese, salad with fat free salad dressing, a glass of milk, and apple slices.
Breakfast: a bowl of oatmeal, fried egg, and glass of milk.
How to stop eating so much:
You don't want to starve yourself, cuz that will actually help you GAIN weight. Just eat 3 meals a day and try not to snack in between. It may take some time to get used to, so you could snack on some almonds when your hungry if you absolutely need a snack. if you need something with sugar, try candied almonds. they are still healthy and very filling! here is a recipe for candied almonds

http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Candied-Almonds

Burning calories:
The trick is to work out long and often.
If you just excercise a little, all your burning is calories. But if you excercise for a long time, you start burning fat.

Cardio excercises: Jumping jacks, jump roping (my favorite) hopscotch, roller blading (fun AND fitness!) and tons others. be creative and have fun!

MollyJoy on 8/27/2009 6:23:25 PM

hey ik that this is past your deadline but I'll fill this out anyway.


1) What's your name, and age?

Taryn and I'm in middle school

2) Any workout ideas to help me tone my INNER thighs greatly? What about my butt?

Run. Jogging only hurts your lungs for a little bit. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Run short distances, like up to 1 mile every few days. And squat thrusts.

3) What are some fast, effective ab workouts to tone my belly flab?

Running will get rid of the "flab", especially if you keep it up regularly. Sit ups will tone your abs and pull ups help, too. Crunches are good, too, though.

4) Are you very athletic/ What sports do you play?

I'm pretty athletic. I do competitive soccer, basketball, and lacrosse.

5) What is your daily exercise routine?

I wake up and stretch, I run 2 miles every other day, I do 300 sit ups every other day and STRETCH CONSTANTLY, and do pull ups every once in a while. I do push ups on the days I don't do sit ups. I like to play outside, too, and so I practice soccer and juggling, and we play tennis and shoot hoops. Sometimes, I practice sprints.

6) What are some good, healthy foods besides the same old fruits and veggies?

I like to eat grilled chicken. If you can have things that are grilled or broiled instead of friend, they will be much less fatty.

7) I can never seem to stop eating (haha). Any ideas how?

You don't have to Stop eating, just make sure what you're snacking on is healthy. Plus, it doesn't absolutely always have to be healthy. Having a treat will help you feel better all of the time.

8) Do you know all the facts about burning calories and all those calculations?

No, i don't know all of the facts about calories but I do know that they are measurements of energy, not fat. If you burn them, you can eat as many as you want as long as there aren't other negative products in the food.

9) Any other cardio exercises besides dancing?

run! Plus, you can just do regular things like jogging to classes instead of walking and stuff like that.

10) Anything else you want to add, add it here, thanks! Smile

You can ask me any questions or anything. Good luck!

11) Do you come online GL often/how frequent??

Once or Twice a day

volleyballgirl1129 on 7/12/2009 6:04:54 PM

1) What's your name, and age? (if you dont mind me asking!) My name is Hannah and I am 14 years old.

2) Any workout ideas to help me tone my INNER thighs greatly? lunges and high knees really help tone most of your leg. Running is a very effective workout for legs if you do it for at least 40 minutes (about 3-4 miles) 3 times a week.

3) What are some fast, effective ab workouts to tone my belly flab? Frog leg crunches. Go into sit up position but make the bottoms of your feet together (like a frog!). Do a normal sit up but hold at your highest for 3 seconds. Do 20-30 of these every other day for 2 weeks and I promise results.

4) Are you very athletic/ What sports do you play? I am a dancer myself, but I also run on the track and field team for my school.

5) What is your daily exercise routine? I don't workout daily but I usually do cardio (like running or biking) 3 or 4 times a week. Then I target certain areas of my body after each session. Like one day I might do abs and the next day do legs or arms and chest. Drink 2 glasses of water after each workout to detox yourself. Stretching is very important for a healthy body as well. Five minutes a day will be good.

6) What are some good, healthy foods besides the same old fruits and veggies? Salmon is a very good choice because it is very low fat. You need some fat to maintain your health and glow of your skin. The fresher the food is the better it is for you. This goes for fruits and vegitables.

7) I can never seem to stop eating (haha). Any ideas how? I eat 5-7 mini meals a day instead of the 3 big ones. You always want to eat a little healthy thing every 2.5 hours to keep your energy up and all that. NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST!

8) Do you know all the facts about burning calories and all those calculations? I know that to loose a pound. You have to work off more calories than you eat. A healthy goal is 1-2 pounds a week.

9) Any other cardio exercises besides dancing? Running is always a good option. If you are close to a gym, then use an eliptical trainer for 30 minutes, increasing the resistance by 1 every 5 minutes. A Bike machine is very good as well.

10) Anything else you want to add, add it here, thanks! Don't kill yourself over excerising. Start out small then work your way up!

11) Do you come online GL often/how frequent?? a couple times a week.

I really hope that you pick me bacause I am looking for a workout partner as well. I know I am cutting the deadline a bit close but please consider me, anyways! Thanks!

hey i wrote a big long traing list but i dont see it so i dont think i pushed the right button my moms a personal trainer so i know a few things my name is cutie 23 just ask for the advice and ill rewrite and i want to know some good fat burning dance routines because i used to be in really good shape but kinda let myself go for about a year and gained 30 pounds and my mom says dancing burns fat the best so if you need my advice ill give it and please respond to mine

cutie23 on 6/26/2009 3:57:02 PM

Hello! My name is Kylie, I am 17 years old, and I am so committed to being your healthy trainer! With my advice, you can get in great shape before school starts up, and it will leave you feeling healthy and happy. Here goes!
Some great workouts for your glutes, thighs, and hips are side planks, which are push ups, but there for your elbows and build strength and tighten glutes, Another one is side lunge slides. To do these, stand hip width apart, left foot resting.Bend the right leg while moving your left leg to the side. The slowly move the left leg back to the starting position, with the right leg still turned. Slowly come back, then do another. Do about 5-10 reps, or sets, of these, then switch legs. Also, just plain old squats are AMAZING for your glutes!

Pushups, side planks, and plain old side crunches do wonders for your abs and inner core muscles. The more the sets, the better!

You asked if I was athletic, and the answer is yes! I play lacrosse, soccer, and am captain of both my volleyball and softball teams as well. I also help referee kids basketball.

My daily exercise routine is composed of 30 minutes of cardio, or whatever makes your heart pump. I do 30 minutes of cardio or more, then abs workout one day with the cardio. Then a break the next day, then the next cardio plus legs and a break and ext.. This gets your body into a system! Also, a casually light walk or jog around the block is cool.

Some healthy snacks are popcorn with no butter, lean cut meat like turkey and chicken which give you protein, rice, and beans. Fish is great for you too! Stay away from anything processed, or frozen foods.

To stop eating, remember to have portion control. Rice, pasta, and beans should be about the size of two fists, and meats or veggies three or four. Put away all snacks so there not in broad open areas, and go to your room or do something to get your mind off as soon as your done eating.

To burn one pound, you will need to burn 3500 calories.

Some great cardio exercises other then dancing is swimming laps or swimming, jump rope, riding your bike, and stair climbing. Rock climbing is great too! So is ice skating!

I go onto my GL account about twice a day, however I am takig a family vacation for 18 days, in which I will try to get back to you soon. This starts the 1st of July!

Remember to take a break every once and a while, and if you feel sick or sore stop and see a doctor or rest. You need to stay consistent of these, or you wont see results as quickly. Doing these exercises helps give you a stronger body, which can make yo live longer and have a stronger metabolism to eat healthier foods.

So sorry to bog you down with all this information! Message me back soon, I hope you dont mind!

Stay safe and happy!

Luv Kyley!

pimplehead13 on 6/24/2009 11:20:45 PM

Hi!!!!!! Just thought I'd post a couple of workout tips! Plz be my friend!

1. I dont give out my name but you can call me L & I am a teenager (not going more in depth than that)
2. You can do yoga! That works the musels really good or you can try lying on your side and lifting your leg up and down slowly and doing circles.
3. Sit ups or crunches are a great workout and for a more challanging workout, stick your legs up in the air and lay on your back and do crunches like that.
4. No I am not athletic....but I swim and play volleyball
5. Swimming in the summer, volleyball twice a week in the fall, exercise macshines (bike, elptical, treadmill) in the winter and i reide my bike in the spring
6. Almonds are a great snack and are really heathly too. Try a wrap for lunch/ dinner with lettuce, chicken/ turkey, tomato, and cheese and whatever else you prefer( mayo, oney mustard, ect.)
7. Try chewing gum cause it ditches your cravings and if you feel you need to eat something, grab a stick of gum- sugar free of coure- dont chew like hubba bubba cause that is just as junky.
8. not really
9. Swimming- thats an all around exericse, and yoga
10. Reward yourself when you do good- for example- if you lose 5 pounds, tell yourself that you can go buy that shirt you really wanted.
11. All the time- 5-6 days a week!

hope this advise helps- plz be my friend- i have tons more o share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
