HEALTH & FITNESS | WORKOUTS

Boost Your Workout!

 
Now that school’s winding down and vacay’s around the corner, why not use your free time to increase your exercise? Make your workout more of a challenge (that’s a good thing, we promise!) by following our tips. You’ll get faster results and have a sunnier outlook.

Up Those Weights
Lotsa times girls don’t wanna go full-out in the weight room. If you’ve been doing the same routine for a while, increase the amount of weight you’re lifting. Swap your 3-lb hand weights for 5-pounders or get a Kettlebell that’s a bit heftier. Either way, you’ll up the bennies for your muscles.

Do Mini Cardio Bursts
Don’t just sit there! Add crazy cardio to your sweat sesh. Even if you’re doing something low-key (like yoga or Pilates), add some extra movement. Think: sprints up and down the driveway or jumping jacks. Do 1-2 minutes of cardio between each set of weights, too.

Add a Fun Day
If you normally exercise 3 days a week, consider tacking another into the sched. Make it something you totally love, whether that’s playing field hockey with your girls, playing a game of pick-up volleyball or doing laps in the pool. What a blast!

MOD MOD MOD My parents think I'm tiny and skinny but I'm not. to be honest I think it's my posture that makes me look thinner, but I tried that "look-in-the-mirror-and-pick-out-your-best-bit" thing but it's made me really annoyed at my thighs and my belly. there's fat there and no where else on my body, how can I get rid of that? I'm prepared to diet and exercise-I'll do anything. But I can't make it massively obvious or my parents will think I'm trying to go annorexic (I'm not-I'm really not) thanks MOD!

 

Hey girl do you exercise? Start exercising and it should help alot! Also try to stay away from drinking and eating junk food snacks like doritos! But also remember sometimes we get annoyed and obsessed with parts we think are 'fat' but are totally not!!

I really want to go running more, but my neighborhood is absolutly terrible for it. In the two mile radius from my house is just a bunch of busy streets, driveways, hobos, gas stations, and cars. I have tried running around my neighborhood, but I spend half the time waiting for cars and I just feel super uncomfertable with all the hobos and other people watching. It seems like the only way for me to run is to get on my bike and ride three miles to some bikepath or something. What can I do?

 

One of the most important things you have to think about when you go running is where you'll be running and whether or not it will be safe. Where you live doesn't sound like the best place to run. Maybe you could go to a bikepath or park (if you think riding your bike there would be safe) - you could bring a friend. Or, if one of your friends lives in an area that's a better running environment, you could run with her at her house. You could also try doing exercises and things at home when you can or running up and down your stairs, if you have stairs that aren't too steep that would work for that kind of thing. Maybe you could talk to your parents about getting a family gym membership. Good luck!

Hey girlie, there are a ton of options: yoga, rollerblading, running, biking, dancing, kickboxing, swimming. Think about you are interested in and what you can have fun doing. Girls life has a lot of other suggestions check it out http://www.girlslife.com/category/workouts.aspx It don't matter how much you change you still have to work on loving yourself. Know that you are beautiful the way you are and just work on leading a healthy lifestyle.

Save your workout for when your fave TV show is on. Watching PLL while exercising will keep you distracted the whole hour. You’ll get in shape without even noticing!
