You don’t have to shake pom-poms to take a cue from the spirit squad.
 
We chatted up author and former pro cheerleader Lindsay Brin about the best moves for toning up all over. Perform each move for a minute and do the whole circuit twice.

PLIÉ to PASSÉ
Start standing with heels together, toes turned out. Tuck your butt under, and keep your abs tight with your shoulders relaxed. Bend your knees and immediately straighten your right leg. Bend your left leg and place your left foot near your right knee. Perform 1 minute on each side.

TRICEP DIP

Sit on the floor. Place palms directly under your shoulders with feet on the floor. Raise your butt off the ground (you’ll be in a table-like position). Bend your elbows to lower down until your butt almost touches the ground. Straighten back up to start.

FOOTBALL PUSH-UP 
Use chalk or a piece of string to make a line 5 feet long on the ground. Start in a push-up position, with your nose, waist and feet over the line and your hands wider than your shoulders. Bend elbows and lower to the ground. Push yourself up. Walk hands to one side of the line. Repeat push-up, then walk hands to starting position. Alternate sides.

KNEE BRIDGE
Start on your back with your knees bent and heels close to your butt. Keep knees hip-width apart and arms by your side, with hands on the floor. Squeeze your knees together and lift your butt off the mat. Slowly return back to start. Lower knees to the sides, keeping the edges of your feet on the ground. Slowly return to start and repeat from the beginning.

HURDLERS 
Start in a push-up position. Bend one knee up to your stomach. Clench your abs and keep the rest of your body tight. Slowly return your foot back to start. Switch.

TACKLE
Start in a push-up position. Quickly bring both knees into your chest. Jump back out to your starting position. Do as many as you can, as fast as you can, keeping your heart rate up.

**MOD**MOD**MOD**MOD
quick question. what does concealer do and how do you use it??sorry to bother you!!
Smile




Hey girl! Not a problem! Here are some tips on how to use concealer: Wash your face and apply a toner and moisturizer. Allow your skin to absorb them. Use a wand or brush to apply liquid concealer, which works best for dry skin types. Apply the concealer to dark spots. If you want to use a concealer stick (or coverstick), this will give you a less messy way to apply it. You can easily blend it in with your fingers. If your concealer comes in a compact or palette, you can apply it using a sponge or brush. This is perfect for hiding blemishes or circles under the eyes. No matter what type of concealer you get, the most important thing is that it works well for your skin type. Hope this helps!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD... HELP! Ok i am in 7th grade and there is this rly cute guy in 8th grade that i rly like. The thing is that he is going out with this other girl in my grade. She makes up rumors that are not true about them and how she goes ova to his house all the time and stuff. I am friends with his friend and i told him this. He says that he likes her but not that much and that all the rumors she is saying is not true. I am sooooooo confused and i don't know what to do. HELP!
MAGGIE <3




Hey girl! Honestly, there is not much you can do at this time. I'm sure the rumors will eventually get back to the guy, and he will realize that his gf is making up stuff about him. He will eventually come to his senses and decide that this type of relationship is not good for him (well, hopefully he will!). In the meantime, I would try to not get involved with all the gossip and such. Instead, try to become better friends with the guy ... he will find it refreshing to have a good (girl) friend he can depend on. Good luck!
