Got Election Night jitters? Work off that pent-up energy by creating a workout game around tonight’s marathon presidential election coverage. From bust-a-sweat buzzwords to ab blasters and cardio bursts, here’s how we’re spending our election evening. Come on, chicas, join Team GL!

 

When someone says…"exit polls"

Spend 60 seconds high-stepping your way up and down a set of stairs.

 

When you hear…"swing state"

Bust out 20 bicycle crunches.

 

When you see…an election button, sign or bumper sticker on camera

Drop to the ground and do 5 burpees, stat!

 

If there’s a reference to…Hurricane Sandy

Hop up and pirouette your way around the living room.

 

If your candidate wins a state…

Take a victory lap around the house.

 

If your candidate loses a state…

Hit the floor and gimme 12 push-ups, pretties!

 

When a republican voter, candidate or pundit is interviewed…

Grab a water bottle first in one hand, then the other, and knock out 20 bicep curls on each side.

 

When a democrat voter, candidate or pundit is interviewed…

Get down on the ground on all fours, back relaxed, and kick your right leg out behind you, squeezing your booty. Draw your right knee to your nose, then kick out again. Repeat 10 times, then switch sides.

 

And if a commentator says “It’s just too close to call”?

Tag, you’re it! Chase a sibling or a bud around the house for two minutes.
 
What are you doing tonight, babes?

sorry for the double post.
I play tennis (and have for 3 years) I'm starting to run track. When I asked my parents if I could run track they said yes because it will aid me in my weight loss.But when I asked to do cheer or dance my mom said yes but my dad doesnt think they are sports. How do I convince him? And how do I tell him that I don't really WANT to play tennis?




Hey girl, by just being honest: tell your dad that you really want to give cheer or dance a shot in addition to track and that you just don't feel tennis suits you or what you want to do anymore. Your 'rents should support you in cheer or dance regardless of whether or not they consider them to be sports as it's something you're curious about and that's active. Ask them to let you have a shot at it, and just continue exercising. Best of luck, girl! Remember, honesty goes a long way!

xoxo

I am a tennis player and I want to do long jump and high jump. My parents said yes when I asked to run track because I want to lose weight(I am 13 and 5'3"ish and 130).
I want to do dance or cheer but my dad doesnt think they are sports. How do I convince him that they are and how do i tell him I want to give tennis a break?

I am 13 yrs old and 5'3 tall and I weigh over 130 pounds. I know I'm overweight for my age. My Jean size is 5/6 in juniors. Is there a way I could loose weight quickly in my thighs or maybe just a diet I could do?
Thanks!

MOD! So I am just looking for some advice and tips. I am 15 and am 5'3" and weigh 108 lbs. I am very active (i run cross country and do alot of other sports). i want to weight 100 lbs. I do have alot of muscle mass (that is what most of my weight is!) But here's the sitch- the "fatty" area is my butt, and i do alot of exercises to help there, but it doesnt work! How can i safely "diet", so that i get to 100 lbs. and lose some of my butt and muscle yet be safe and healthy while doing so? Thanks in advance! You guys (or should i say girls!) are greatSmile

 

 

 Hey girlie, it sounds like you're already doing everything right! You sound super active and you're doing a great job keeping up with your workouts. You really don't need to diet. Just make sure you're eating high protien foods to feed your muscles and keep the junk food to just a once in awhile thing. Always eat when your hungry and drink plenty of water. And that's about it! You may not lose weight, but if ya keep working out, you're bound to get more toned. If your eight doesn't go down, it could just be that your at the perf weight for your bod. And as you grow, you might find yourself gaining a couple pounds too and that's totally normal for your age! Pay less attention to your weight and more attention to how fab and strong you look and staying healthy. Good luck, girl!

Hey klbugg97, you'll never know if you don't try, so try running. There was a quote I read that I think will help you: "Never let inexperience get in the way of ambition." For that tummy, head over to our HEALTH&FITNESS section for tips on loosing the weight. Hope this helps! Xoxo
