What does she mean by 'pulses' and can you simplify the c curve for me.

Hey chica, a 'pulse' is just another word for 'repetition' so you know how many times to do a certain exercise.  To get a better idea of what the C-Curve looks like, have a friend check out the description and give it a try.  A visual will def help simplify this move.

MOD!!!
I am not sure how to do the "C-Curve" workout above. When I try it, it doesn't feel like I am working on my abs, but it is working out my calves. I tried getting on my toes and then pulsing up and down from there, but it didn't work. Is there any other way of explaining this so it makes more sense? Thanks!

Will I see results faster if I do it five times a week?
And will this help slim down a pooch in my lower belly?
Thanks!(:




Hey girl!

This can definitely help slim down a lower belly pooch. The more you do an exercise the better the results will be. So if you're up to the challenge, why not do it five days a week. Good luck!

Hey missy, nope you sound okay to me. I would suggest switching your meals up and eating healthy sometime, other than that you're good to go. Smile Smile

Does anyone have any workouts that will help me for volleyball? I started this summer and i want to continue doing it during school time. But the thing is i dont have a lot of upper body strength and not a lot of muscles. Any advice? Thank you!




Hey girlie,

First, you're going to want to build up your stamina. Sprints and long-distance runs will be great for this! As for your arms, try these workouts on our site. They're our faves and we're sure you'll love 'em too!

So glad these exercises dont include equiptment.Phew. Laughing

Umm, I'm sorry to say this but... the instructions to these exercises are not very clear. They dont make much since.

MOD,MOD,MOD Smile I'm trying to train for cross country and I need some really good workouts that I can do in my room without thumping and jumping. I have to do them in my room because it is rainy all season where I live. Also any cheap healthy eating tips? Thank you so muuucch! This means the world to me Smile

Hey girly,
You could start with lots of strength stuff like sit ups and leg stretches, but there really isn't much cardio that you can do without making some noise. Try looking for another space to workout or be prepared to thump. As for eating tips, you really can't go wrong with eating fruit or checking out your grocery store for some low cal stuff.

I am just starting the working out stuff (like your exercises in the back of your magazine), and I don't have weights. Any ideas what I could use otherwise, without having to buy stuff?




Hey girl, you could always use household items such as bottles of water for now. Once you get more used to the exercises and integrate them into your daily routine, individual weights (2-pound dumbbells, for example) may not be a bad investment -- you only need two to go!

I am saving up for a bikini this summer, and also trying to tone up a litt. I'm not fat, but also not super skinny. I could use some tips for being confident! Also, what are some great simple tone up exercises? Thanks!




Hey babe,

I completely understand where you're coming from! The best thing to do is eat healthy, exercise, and choose a bikini that makes you feel totally YOU when you wear it. None of us are ever going to be the skinniest one at the beach/pool, but it won't matter if you stand up straight (shoulders back, just like your parents probably always told you!) and hold your head high. Remind yourself of your great qualities (your good grades, creativity, friends, skill in basketball, whatever it may be!) and approach the beach/pool like you own it Smile As for toning up for bikini season, check out these articles!

Mod!
Do you recommend any good workout instructors on YouTube? It would help for me because I'm a visual learner. Thanks! Smile




Hey girlie,

I've actually never looked on Youtube for fitness help. My advice would be what I do though - go to the library and find workout DVDs that you can rent! They're really useful, especially if you're a visual learner Smile

I'm kinda confused about these exercises... they seem good, but I am such a visual learner. Anyway they could show example pictures?

mod mod mod,
i have a friend who is obsessed with being skinny.
She always saying how she looks fat and isn't thin enough.
I try to tell her she is not fat and when your growing its normal to gain weight but she doesn't listen. I'm worried she might have an eating disorder because i know how dangerous that can be. What should I do or say? I dont want to offend her by saying the wrong thing but i care about her too.
Thanks




Hey girl, I'd just keep an eye on her eating habits. Hint she's been like that to her parents if you notice she has been skipping meals or not eating. Let her actions speak louder than her words.

MOD MOD MOD ok, im looking for sweet 16 dresses and i found out i have 34 inch hips, 35 inch bust, and 30 inch waist... is that really weird? I can see my collarbone, hips and ribs but i have some tummy fat...Frown
o and what are some good belly fat busting exercises? (i have 8 months until my birthday and i want to loose a few inches.)




Hey girl!

  No body type is "really weird," because everyone is different. Some great belly exercises are crunches and the ones seen here: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/11/04/five-moves-for-flat-abs.aspx. Just remember to stay healthy and don't over-do it with the exercising! Good luck! x0x0

mod mod mod i want to go out for my schools water polo team next season, what are some good workouts, i have a pool so i can do a lot of water exercises i just dont know any please help




Hey girlie,

You're gonna wanna focus on two things: cardio and upper-body training. For the latter, you'll probably wanna start weight-training and doing push-ups to strengthen your arm muscles. Water polo is super demanding that way! As for cardio, do whatever will keep you interested so you do it every day. Swimming laps, rigorous bike riding, jogging, and kickboxing are all great ways to do that!

I looked at the "Ace your exams!" article on GL, but it didnt hurt and its the weekend so it's not like I can just ask my teacher today. What do I do? How do I fit it all into my brain in 2 days???? I am freaking out!!!!




hey girl,

i see that you're freaking out since you've posted it everywhere! but don't freak out--try to borrow notes from friends or arrange a study group.  if you can't, skim through chapters and make sure you understand vocab/highlighted words!
