HEALTH & FITNESS | WORKOUTS

Make your crunches do double-duty

 
Wanna blast ab flab and score a six pack in just a few weeks? This move will have you bikini-ready in no-time flat. Just add it to your cardio workout three times a week and get ready to hit the sand!

 

Since sculpting is about muscle control rather than momentum, you want to do these moves as slowly as you can. Begin each sesh with a 5-minute warm-up, like walking or jogging in place. When your finished, stretch your bod out to give your muscles some relief.

 

The Two-Way Crunch

Start by lying on your back with knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Raise your legs so your knees are above your hips and your calves are parallel to the floor. Place your hands lightly behind your head, elbows to the sides. Contract abs, pulling your bellybutton into your spine. 
 
Finish by exhaling, and then squeeze your abs as you lift your hips slightly off the floor. Bring your knees toward your chest, simultaneously lifting your head and shoulders a few inches off the floor. Inhale as you lower. Slowly repeat for 15 total repetitions.

MOD MOD MOD!! My best friend just told me she is anorexic, and I didn't notice it before, but now I do, she hasn't been eating anything at school, idk about at home but she must eat something cause she doesn't want her 'rents to find out... So I'm really scared and confused, I don't want anything to happen to her, but I don't want to lose her trust.. She told me not to tell ANYONE. What should I do?!? I'm scared, I cried when I got home, cause I just lost someone else close to me, and she has been like my sister for most of my life.. Please help!!!

 

hey! I'm really sorry you're friend's going through this. The most important thing you can do for her is get her help early. She might not thank you now, but you have to tell an adult that you're worried about her. Anorexia is a terrible disease and you have to do what's best for her.

MOD Please!
I've been trying everything to lose weight. I've been eating more fruits and vegetables, cutting down my junk food consumption, drinking a lot of water,and in general eating less. I have literally lost no weight and I'm getting really discouraged. I want to be healthy and I feel really bad about myself, and I don't know why I can't get the weight off. Is there something wrong with my body? It's been like two weeks.

 

Hey! just so ya know, girls’ bodies change  a ton during the teen years and weight gain is normal and restricting your diet drastically won’t actually help you lose weight. That being said I'm gonna direct you to our fitness page for all our info on healthy living Smile http://www.girlslife.com/category/health-and-fitness.aspx

MOD PLEASE HELP!
I've been skipping both breakfast and lunch and so far I've lost no weight. I've been eating about twice a day, in normal sizes, and exercising for about two hours a day. I haven't lost any weight and I don't know why. I'm afraid that my metabolism is messed up and I always gain a pound when I eat normally. How can I just lose weight already? I'm really getting sick of this. I also drink about a gallon of water a day, could this be why I'm not losing weight? Please help.
