Last year, my mile time was 10:12 this year it was 8:40 something, we'll have to run it again soon and I want to get it into the 7 minute range...so these tips are great!

I'm going to the beach next friday with a few of my friends to visit our bff who moved. I have already made a bet to not eat any desserts/sugary things before the trip. I've been walking almost everyday but the thing i need to work on are my inner things and abs. I have a short torso already so i want it to be lean. I'm not really wanting to lose weight, just tone up. Any inner thigh and ab workouts I can do? Thanks!!




Hey babe,

Try yoga or pilates workouts online to get long, lean muscles! They help you burn fat and, more importantly, build muscles without getting too bulky. You can also use the following exercises to mix things up!

I have Crohn's disease but I really want to do track. I didn't think Crohn's could keep me from doing that, but I get really tired easily and red faced from just jogging from one side of the court and back. We've been training in off season for some while and I feel like I will never get better. Will ever get better at running without feeling like I'm about to die??




Hey girlie,

You have to ask your doctor if you're able to do physical activity like this. It's possible that you're just out of shape and psyching yourself out. If you've never worked out before, it's going to take training and hard work to gradually be able to run without getting tired. But since you do have a medical condition, you need to consult your doctor to make sure it's safe and possible for you to do this. If you are feeling winded because of Crohn's, you could choose a sport that revolves less around running, manage a sports team at your school, or join a different club! <3 Ya gotta work with your bod to make sure you're the healthiest you can be.

Hey gymnastics111, you may not be able to run but you can do other exercises inside your home. Try jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, and leg lunges. Do these for a couple hours each day. Your bod will stay looking fit. Hope this helps!! Xoxo

i live in ct, its winter time, and during the day it gets down to like 20 degrees. I play field hockey in the fall, and I really improved my mile time and 2 mile time. I want to stay in shape, but running in 20 or below weather is not good for your body, or for mine at least, my throat starts hurting really bad when i run in the cold. But i dont own a treadmill or anything like that. I dont have a ride to the gym, and i really dont what to get out of shape over the winter. What can i do to stay in shape, and keep running? THanks!

is 11.46 a bad time?

Hey girl,

Instead of focusing on what times are "good" and "bad," work on personal improvement. You can't compare your performance with other people's times!

Is 6:42 a good time for a newly 12 year old? i won the school mile... but this article makes me feel slow.

Hey girl,

That sounds like an awesome time, especially if you won at your school! Don't compare yourself to other peoples' times -- it's about your personal improvement and success, so congratulate yourself!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
