HEALTH & FITNESS | WORKOUTS

3 festive sweat seshes to try with your friends

 
Can't wait for Santa to slide down the chimney? Work off some excitement with your very best sistahs in tow. We've got three fun activities that double--triple?--as your weekend workout. Three cheers for a sweat sesh with your sweeties!
 
Run, Run, Reindeer

Get a group of friends together and line up in pairs of two (like you’re going to pull a sleigh). Start off on a nice jog to warm up then the two girls in the front will race on either sides of the line to the front once they get there the girls who are now the back will do the same thing. Aim so that each pair sprints 5 times.

 

The Grinch

Imagine pulling that sleigh with all of those presents up a mountain. Sounds super hard, right? Imitate that by attaching a rope to an old belt or harness wrapped around your waist. Have a friend hold the other end of the rope. Start with high knee lifts in place, then move forward doing high knee lifts as fast as you can while your friend only walks forward (you will be pulling her slightly). Go about 10 yard then switch, aim for going six times each.

 

The Nutcracker

Got a few gals who aren’t afraid to look silly—and can definitely bring it on the dance floor? Whether your primas or not, this one’ll be a blast. Divvy up The Nutcracker score (or let your sistahs choose their favorite holiday songs) and have each chica choreograph her own dance. Come back together and perform your hearts out. Give awards for best move, most creative solo and most enthusiastic. Dare we say costumes are mandatory? Wink wink!

I really need to build up my stamina, cardio, core strength and arm strength (basically everything) for my dance class, what kind of exercises could I do to build these up (without over doing it and would be fine for a 12 year old to do) ????
Thanks Siena xo

 

Hey girl,

Try going on light jogs to work on cardio and jumping rope is awesome, too. Push ups and sit ups are the best way to promote arm strength and core strength. Just make sure that if you're working out and you're feel super fatigued, take a break before doing anything else.

I really wanna workout daily but the only place I can is in the living room because its SUPER cold and rainy where I am and my room is TINY! The only problem is my parents are always in there and it's just awkward trying to exercise in front of them :/
An I can't keep on exercising before I go to bed and they aren't in there.
Any advise???

 

 

Hey Girly, ask your parents if they want to work out too. it won't be as awkward that way. Also, for exercises like abs and wall sits you really don't need a lot of space. if you can lie down on the floor of your room, you might be able to get some done in there.

I plan to loose 30 lbs in about 6 months and I've already lost 5 in just one month! A lot of times I get a little hungry and want a snack, but if I eat something unhealthy I know I will start to eat more unhealthy stuff. Plus I have a brother and a dad who like to eat a ton of junk food so there's always some in the pantry that's not good for you. So what are some healthy snacks that are filling, tasty, and inexpensive? Thanks Smile

 

Congrats on your goal girl. Our health and fitness channel has a ton of links to help you get goin..check these out! click here and here and here.

MOD! MOD! MOD! My friend isn't online ever because she's really busy. I get that, but we never can do anything.
I planned a sleepover for tonight and she hasn't RSVP'd... This has been an event that I have been planning and told her about over 2 weeks ago, and if we don't have one now, we can't have one over break. It's really frusterating.

 

Hey girlie, some people do better with personal invitations. If she never has time to get online, hand her a paper invitation to something. Call her and ask her to do things with you. Make sure to ask her to let you know when she has free time so that you can hang out with her.

Mod!
How can i get abs?!
Please reply asap

 

Hey girlie, getting abs will take time. You'll need to eat healthy foods so that you're not gaining fat while you're trying to build muscle. Do different kinds of crunches so that you work all of your abdominal muscles and do them daily. There are a lot of great ab workouts that you can find on youtube or you could buy a DVD somewhere like Amazon for under $10.

Next time you’re bored in class, lift your legs up and down without letting them touch the ground. It’ll help you work on those quads and pass the time.
