MOD MOD MOD I am 12 years old and would like to get faster (running wise) and stronger. I would like to focus more on running to get faster for sports (like lacrosse, basketball, and track.) The thing is, I can't run by myself (my parents don't like me going places by myself usually, I also partly agree because i don't know the area as well as I should), and my friends are almost always busy, and i don't have access to a gym. I don't know what to do. Also, what is a good way to build up arm stength? Please help!

 

Hey girlyfriend, are your parents ever available to go running with you? If not see if there's a sports coach at your school you could train with. Maybe you could work something out where you run with them before and/or after school. That way you'll get training from a professional and they'll tell you what to do to maintain your running strength. For arm strength try push ups and lifting weights from 5-10lbs. Doing little things will help too, like lifting grocery bags, taking out the trash, and carrying your books up the steps. Hope all this helps ya!! Smile Smile

i'm getting really mad. I'm apple shaped (big tummy, small legs) i just don't understand. i eat right, and i exercise 1 hour everyday, and i'm still overweight. i weight 140 lbs! my belly fat just won't go away. whenever i loose weight, i loose it all in my legs. is there anything i can do to become less apple shaped? thanks.




Hey girl! 

Have you talked to your doctor about your body shape? He or she may be able to help you find specific routines that work for you or let you know if your body shape is do to genetics. Here are some awesome exercises to help you switch up your ab routine - hopefully some of them will work for you! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/05/06/5-ways-to-shake-up-your-ab-routine.aspx Good luck and have fun, xoxo!

Hey babe! 

Have you talked to your doctor? He or she might be able to confirm that your shape is due to genetics and not your eating habits or exercise routine. Here's are some of our best tips about how to trim your tummy http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/07/19/The-best-cardio-to-banish-muffin-top.aspx. Try switching up your ab workouts every once in a while too! Good luck! xoxox

Is it possible to change user names?




Hey babes,

Sorry, unfortunately you cannot change your username once you create your account. The only way to access the site under a different name is to register a totally new account <3

It seems like everyday I find out that somebody i at one time was friends with has done something stupid like smoked, stole things, drank alcohol, or do drugs.... I do not want anything to do with these people yet i have to see them everyday. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE. Seeing them do this makes me wanna go hide. i don't know what to do. Please help




Hey babe,

Everyone goes through a phase of testing the boundaries and, sometimes, making choices that aren't necessarily the healthiest or smartest. It's a natural part of growing up and learning about the people that we are! If you already know that this stuff turns you off, that's great. You can learn lessons from the people you're watching use this stuff - you can learn from their mistakes and make smarter choices right off the bat. Try to appreciate it as just that and you'll be able to get through it without so much stress <3
