Get fit before the bell rings--without hitting the gym

There’s no way you can fit in a trip to the gym or a super-long run before school starts, but that doesn’t mean ya can’t exercise...

I have tummy fat and i dont know how to lose it. I eat healthy but is ther a certain workout that can help get rid of it?

 

Hey girlie! The thing that stinks about tummy fat is that it's tough to get rid of and you can't really target it.  Just make sure you're getting your cardio in! xoxo

I have a problem with junk food. I crave it all the time, even when I'm not hungry. I always sneak into the pantry and take tiny bites of fatty foods, and by the end of the day it all adds up. It feels good when I eat, but I feel guilty afterwards. I'm thin now, but I'm know that all this eating will eventually catch up to my weight and health. How do I help my craving?

Hey girl,

When you feel hungry, try eating fats that are good for you, like nuts and avocado, and sweets that are good for you, like fruits. If you stick to natural goods, you won't want the processed ones! If you're worried about your eating habits, though, you should speak with a trusted adult like a parent, teacher, guidance counselor or older family member about your habits and how you're feeling so that they can help you sort things out.

I have, like, this red flat pimple on my nose. It's kind of like a blister and my nose hurts when I rub my nose. Is this a cold sore??? If so, how do I treat it - and fast!!! It looks like a zit!!!

 

Hey girlie! It's probably a zit, so put a sit zapping cream or gel on it (something with benzoyl peroxide).  xoxo

hey i was wondering typically how long it takes to lose 25 pounds and how would you do it??




Hey girlie,

It's completely healthy to lose about 1-2 pounds each week. I know it doesn't feel very fast, but it's safe to lose 25 pounds over the course of about 4 months <3 With healthy diet and exercise, of course!

So I heard that when working out walking is better than jogging/running, is it true?




Hey chica, walking is less strain on your joints, but it's not gonna give ya much cardio. Running is way better exercise, and as long as ya don't overdo it, it's definitely a better workout.

My thighs and legs are really sore from my two days of volleyball tryouts ( sadly, i didn't make the team. But, there's always next year!!). What can i do to make them less sore?

 

Hey girl! Try taking ibuprofen or soaking in a hot bath.  Make sure you stretch and stay active, too.  Don't do too much, but walking around and stretching will help your muscles heal.  xoxo

If you want to cut down on chocolate, don't eat it! I know it's hard but try to limit yourself to once a day. When you eat it, have it in moderation.

i have thick, wavy/frizzy hair. i straighten it, but it takes forever (a half hour ish) b/c it's so thick. i won't not straighten it, but is there any way to not take so long without getting a perm or anything?

 

Hey girl!

Depending if your hair gets oily, you can go a day or two extra without washing your hair. That way, you don't have to spend time straightening it every single day.

So this year I can try out for a sport. I really want to do volleyball but I'm not that good. I have been practicing all summer and I've only improved a little. Then I think about cheer leading and that sounds like fun but I don't want to be known as the sassy little cheerleader stereotype that all the cheerleaders at my school go by. What should I do?

 

Hey girl!

You should do the sport that makes you the happiest and the one which you have the most fun doing. You shouldn't worry about the stereotypes of any sport. If you think you'd enjoy cheerleading, do it. It doesn't matter what other people say about it. If you love volleyball, then who cares if you haven't improved that much? You'll definitely improve over the course of the season.

Hi! So i was wondering what some good workouts are to get rid of love handles and armpit bulge. I'm a dancer, so both are very noticeable when I'm wearing a leotard. It's not bad, but some things make it really noticeable. ThAnKs! Smile

 

Hey girl!

For the armpit bulge you should do dips. Find a chair or couch and sit down. Then, scoot your butt off and keep your knees bent at a 90 degree angle. Hold on to the chair with your hands. Then, slowly lower yourself down closer to the floor using your arms, and then push yourself back up. For love handles, I would suggest doing interval training. Run for two minutes at a comfortable pace and then run for 30 seconds as fast as you can. Then, go back to two minutes at your comfortable pace. Interval training can be really good for targeting belly fat. Good luck!

Hey girl!

I'm not a performer so I can't give you any specific tips on performing techniques. However, my best suggestion is to be confident! I'm sure you've been practicing so have confidence in the skills that you've worked so hard to perfect. Be yourself and have fun and I'm sure it will go well!

So ive been working out (running around the block) for the past few days cause i just started and i didnt run yesturday because i had a lacrosse game
Then i was gonna run today but now it raining and theirs a storm... Whats a way i can still do a work out like alot but inside....1.i just dont know a work out that i can do...
2.How can i stay on track with the work outs
3.Should i keep a journal about my work outs and what i eat?

 

Hey girl! Be careful about keeping a journal of what you eat and how much you work out- that can make it easy to slip into dangerous territory and develop eating issues.  It's fine to take a couple days off from workouts (you should take at least 1 or 2 a week), so while you're inside, you can either take a break or focus on doing strength exercises like wall sits, crunches, and push ups.  xoxo

I recently got a really bad sunburn from marching band camp. How can I get rid of it? Or at least make it a little less red. I also have horrible tan lines from my tank top and socks. Thanks so much!!!!!




Hey girlie,

Unfortunately, the only thing that will really "get rid" of sunburn is time. Try to be patient as it fades! In the meantime, try using an aloe lotion or gel to ease the pain and cut down on redness. They can also help keep it from peeling, which can get so gross if the burn is really bad. <3 Hang in there! And don't forget the sunscreen next time!

ok so i am having big problems right now. Mainly it is with my dad. He always yells at me for little stuff, and i never get to go anywere. he has never hit me or done anything physical,but he is really rude and stuff. I have no brothers or sisters wich really sucks, because i have seen nobody my own age for the past 3 weeks. I have only texted one of my friends all summer because none of my others will reply. I am really lonely. also my parents never let me go anywere, like ive been to 3 sleepovers my entire life, and im twelve. i live in a really small town, so like, walmart is the only hangout. My parents get mad at me if i even get out of their sight there, much less hang out with my friends. I have never been anywere in the town like to mcdonalds, chicken express(that's all we have) without parental supervision, and so i look like a dork with my parents in the booth next to me. i really need help!!!




 Hey girlie! Your parents are just trying to protect you.  I know they seem overbearing, but they're doing it out of love.  Talk to your mom calmly about having some friends come over for a sleepover (that way your parents can supervise).  After a few times, your mom will see your friends' parents and maybe be more willing to let you spend time alone with your friends.  xoxo

These are good, but I think the best and easiest way to stay fit is to start a sport of some kind. I swim, which is great. But any sport is great, volleyball, basketball, karate. It so much more simple! You just do that fun sport on a regular basis and eat healthy and you don't have to worry about what workout to do and all that.

Hey girl! I don't think the two are connected. The gel your mom gave probably numbed you a little bit, so the relaxing feeling was just your skin relaxing after being irritated.  You have to be really stressed to not get your period, and sometimes your first period comes without warning.  xoxo

I wanna lose weight and have a healthier lifestyle.
Also I want a flatter stomach.
Any tips?

 

Hey girlie! A flatter stomach comes with weight loss and abs- work that core doing crunches! The only way to have a lifestyle change, though, is to make sure you are losing weight the RIGHT way- no crash dieting!  The amount of weight you want to lose might take awhile, but healthy eating (meaning you eat enough calories for you body to work, about 2,000 a day) and daily exercise will get you there! Good luck! xoxo
