HEALTH & FITNESS | WORKOUTS

Bust that muffin top workout

 
Whether you wanna rock a form-fitting tee with your jeans, a body-con dress on a hot summer date or your bikini over Labor Day weekend, we’ve got the workout you’ve been looking for! Bust that muffin top and strengthen your core abdominal muscles with a kick-butt workout that’ll get you in shape in just 30 minutes a day.

 

Cardio

They key to blasting fat is heart rate-boosting cardio. It doesn’t matter if you prefer running, cycling, dancing or jumping rope. Pick an activity and get moving for 10 minutes at the beginning of your workout and 10 minutes at the end.

 

Vertical leg crunch

Lie on your back with your legs straight up in the air. Put your hands behind your head for support. Lift your shoulder blades off the floor, but make your abs do the work! Do two sets of 6 crunches. Not feeling it? Add another set.

Reps: Try 2 sets of 6 crunches.

 

Side plank

Lie on the floor on your left side. Lift off the ground using the support of your feet and your elbow.  Keep your body straight! Breathe normally and hold in this position for 10 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds, then repeat ten more times.  Lie on your right side and repeat.

 

Bicycle

Lie on your back with your hands behind your head as support. Lift your head so your shoulder blades are off of the floor. Lift your left leg off the floor and bend your knee towards your stomach, while taking your right elbow towards your left knee. Switch, and bring your right knee towards your left elbow. Keep alternating sides, like you are pedaling a bike. Do two sets of 10 reps on each leg.

I'm 13 years old, am 5'4" and I weigh ___ pounds. I feel like that's a lot because my friends who are only an inch shorter than me weigh like, 5 to 10 pounds less than me. I have a small muffin top that I'm starting to work on getting rid of, though I'm not very good at keeping a consistent schedule with it. I feel like I'm unhealthy. I dance 3 days a week but I feel like it's never enough. Am I healthy?




Hey girlie,

We MODs aren't qualified to judge you on your weight. If you're concerned about your weight, that's a question for a professional - aka your doctor! Remember that weight is more based on height than it is on age - it's normal for friends who are shorter than you to weigh a little less. And honestly, as long as you try to make good diet choices, don't overload on junk food all the time, and get exercise, you're doing a great job! If you don't feel like dance 3 days a week is enough, try going for a jog or playing a game of soccer with friends on the "off" days. That way, you'll get moving and feel WAY healthier...and be treating your bod really well <3

Hey danceforever58, no you sound really healthy to me. Everyone's body shape is gonna be different even if our weight, height and age are the same. So no worries, you're fine girl. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Ok I'm 12 years old and almost 5'10. Im really tall for my age and such. I weigh 128 pounds. I wouldnt consider myself fat but I'm like not that skinny. (I mostly have mucels not as much fat). I eat really healthy most of the time, and workout 3 or so times a week. I'm not the skinniest of the group because I have alot of mucels. Do you think I'm over weight? Thanks so much! Lynae P.

Get bored on your runs? Bring a buddy along, and you’ll find yourself running longer with more ease.
