OK, so we all know hitting the pool is a great way to get toned without breaking a sweat. But, uh, we know everyone doesn’t have an all-access pass to a pool (we don’t!). Here are a couple other ways to tone up, without sweating buckets. 

Get awesome abs in the AC 
Sure it might be a million degrees outside, but you’re about to put down some roots in your living room. Doing a yoga or Pilates DVD in the AC (or with a few fans set up around you) is an awesome way to get yoru bod moving and stay chill. We’re currently digging Exhale: Core Fusion Cardio Pure Intensity by Acacia. The workouts are broken into chunks, so you can take water breaks or wipe your brow in between 10-minute sessions.

Hold a nighttime captain’s practice 
Scour your town to find a soccer or softball field that’s lit up at night (make sure it’s in a safe neighborhood!). Then, get a bunch of your teammates together to work on your skills. Or, vow to become champs at something totally new to you, like Ultimate Frisbee or rugby.

Get your run on in the a.m. 
Don’t groan! Sure, it can be a challenge to roll outta bed early, but then you’ll have your sweat sesh outta the way before the sun is blazing. Take new routes, join a running club or set up a schedule with a bud to ensure you two hit the road (or trails!) on a regular basis. Why not sign up for a July 4th 5K today? Get training, girl!

Hey girl,

Try doing squats or wall sits to strengthen and tone your thighs. x0x0

My fitness goal this summer is to tone up but NOT lose weight. I am already at a healthy weight! How do I do this, while making sure I don't lose weight in the process?
And also, I have really skinny legs, so I really want to tone up my thighs, but I heard doing cardio like running or jogging will make you lose weight in your thighs...AAHH, I am so frustrated about my fitness routine. HELP ME?!




Weight loss depends on the person. Weight training, running, etc. can help you tone up

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!I live on a backroad. a long one too. so it's perfect for me to run... i just can't do it! I just can't wake up! I did for a time in the afternoon after it cooled down and i loved it.... it really helped my stress level during school time. and i lost weight! i had so much fun doing it and i loved everything about it! my only prob? everytime it was time to run i always had to do something! i really didn't even have to go but my mom made me. is there anyway to do this and keep it going??




Set aside a time for running and stick to it--as far as waking up, use an alarm or ask someone in your family to wake you Smile

MOD MOD MOD!!! My legs are a little big. Is there any exercise to get them small in a few days?




Hey girl,

It takes a little time for you to start seeing results after you start an exercise plan, but doing squats or wall sits is a great way to build muscle. Muscle burns fat, so the more muscle there is in your body, the better. x0x0

MOD MOD MOD The other day I tried to run in the morning but I chickened out. I don't want my neighbors watching me run!!! It's so awkward to me!!! How do I overcome this?

Hey girly,
Unfortunately the best thing you can do is to push against yourself and make yourself go running even if you are embarrassed. There really is nothing to be embarrassed about. Most people will not see you running and if they did, they aren't going to judge you. Just remember that what you are doing is for your health and enjoyment, and shouldn't be ruined because you are worried what others will think of you. Good Luck!
