Quick Q of the week: My fitness goal for this year is to get a flat stomach. How much cardio do you recommend I do to get rid of the belly fat?

 

Wellness expert and CEO of girlsgonesporty.com Laura Williams says, “Teens should aim for 60 minutes of activity a day, but try to make at least 30 minutes of that cardio - dancing, walking, jogging, etc. Then, make sure you're eating healthy foods, like fruits and veggies.”

 

Make it happen! Need a li’l inspiration? “A great way to stick to healthy habits is to schedule them into your weekly planner every single week, then make sure you're treating them like any other appointment,” Laura says. “One thing I did when I was in high school was post sticky notes around my room with motivational sayings. They were always front-and-center so I couldn't ignore them and I was more likely to follow through.”

MOD MOD MOD!!!
I went to the movies today with some friends from school & my ex that i still like. He is really werid 2 me now & acts totally freaked out when he sees me & like hes scared of me. How can i just get us 2 b friends. My friends talked 2 him & he says he doesnt hate me but hes scared for his life whenever hes around me. I talked to him for the first time in a month(since we broke up) tonight & i really want him back please help!




Hey girl,

You gotta decide what exactly you want here - "getting him back" and "getting us to be friends" are two different things. Honestly, it sounds like you just need to show him you're laid back and friendly right now. He isn't comfy around you and he's scared that you might be angry, mean, awkward... all those bad things that can happen when you're around an ex. Try giving him subtle smiles and waves as you pass him in the hallway, say hey if you see him in the lunchroom, and chat with him through texts/online every so often. Just keep things casual and relaxed. Show him you're totally chill and can be friends without bringing any drama or awkwardness to his life! As time passes, getting him back could be an option. But start with the most important part first, before you even start thinking of that - showing him that a comfortable, calm friendship can happen!

I do just dance 3 almost every day. I don't need to worry about being thin. MOD MOD MOD! I am getting my haircut tomorrow. I'm getting it cut to my jaw with bangs. I am SUPER nervous. Any stress tips? Please?

 

Hey katgrace11, if you're worried about how your haircut is going to turn out, look up pics of the style you want. That way once you take them into your hair stylist, they'll cut it the exact way you want it. No worries. Hope this helps! Xoxo

MOD MOD MOD! every guy i like hits on me, and flirts with me, and texts me.. then hits on other girls in front of me, then ends up liking my best friends..i dont know what to do! any advice?

 

Hey friendsrforever, mhmm that's wierd. Are you postive they're fliritng and hitting on you? Some guys might just be being friendly. Flirting is sometimes just a part of some guy's personality, so really pay attention to what they're doing. Do you think there's something you're doing to make them stop talking to you? XOxo
