Whether you wanna rock a strappy sundress or get a jump on swimsuit season, we’ve got one move that’ll give ya the right to bare totally toned, pool-perfect arms. Best of all? No weight lifting or push-ups required. Yes!

 

The triceps dip

Start by sitting on a bench. G grip the edge of the seat with both hands on either side of your butt. Hold your arms straight but not locked. Keep feet flat and knees bent. Walk your feet slightly forward, contract your abs and lift your butt so your hips are level with the front of the seat.

 

Supporting yourself with your hands, slowly lower your butt until your upper arms are almost parallel to the floor (elbows and shoulders will be bent at a 45- to 90-degree angle). Push yourself back up to the straight-arm position, and repeat for a total of 12 times.

ok. 2 questions:
1. i met one of my cousin's good guy friends that is like a dorky-cute guy. he agrees with me and is nice to me. he gives me funny nicknames and makes me laugh. he also helps me when we play xbox. i have only met him once though, and he doesnt go to my school. he's like my cousin's big brother. he is only a year older than me. from this, does it sound like he likes me?
2. i am so jealous of my cousin. she is popular, always finds money and buys expensive clothes, and all of the boys like her. she is pretty, and when i compare myself to her i just get upset and jealous. she is also on competitive cheer, and i am on travel softball. she is always winning competitions and getting fancy clothes and doing things with her (like) billion friends. i feel like a weirdo-freak compared to her. but she also goes to a larger (public) school, and i go to a (small) private school. could this be part of her popularity & the like? help!!
thanks Smile

 

Hey! 1) It's hard to say from these few examples. He might like you or he might  just want to be friends. just get to know him better and see what happens Smile 2) I also have a beautiful cousin who I sometimes feel jealous of, but whenever I start to feel that resentment I just have to remember that she isn't perfect and neither am I. I love my cousin and we're really good friends and i don't want to let my petty feelings get in the way of that. My advice is, don't worry about why your cousin has what she has, just be happy for her and you'll feel a whole lot better.

okay, so I'm going to florida for 8 days over april vacation. I dont want to have to shave much, if at all while I'm there!
I just tried waxing for the first time, and it only got about half of the hair it was applied to.. I think its long enough, but do you have any other tips? Also, is it normal to have red bumps, like the pores are red, where i waxed? and is there any other alternative that works well to remove hair for long periods of time?

 

hey! I personally haven't tried waxing, but here's an article about it. The red pores sound a little like razor burn but for waxing? May be you could also try Nair's hair removal creams? http://www.girlslife.com/tag/waxing-101.aspx

So about this... do you think that if I do this, along with other arm exercises, that I could get toned by May 5? Because I have a very important event that day and my goal is to have toned arms. Thanks!

 

Hey! If that's your goal, work hard and keep at it! but there's no real way to know if you'll see results by may 5. I always find that when I work out, I feel so good after that I think I see results even if they'd be impossible. My advice is to keep working at it whether you can see a difference by may 5 or not Smile

I'm in 10th grade and really advanced in math. Right now, I'm in AP Statistics and have already done algebra 1 & 2 and geometry. I was thinking of becoming a math tutor for elementary/maybe middle schoolers. How would I be able to start tutoring? I'm also home schooled so posting something at school wouldn't be an option.




Hey! Try checking with your local library. You could also ask your parents about helping you put up some fliers with your email and tutoring info around different schools Smile
