MOD MOD MOD What are some ways for me to get in shape for soccer? I ran about a mile yesterday and 2 miles today... are there any runs I can do on the treadmill or weight things to do? Like situps, lunges, weight lifting? Thankssss(:




Hey girlie! I'm not a soccer player myself, but it sounds like you've got a good start. I would recommend adding some sit-ups, squats, and maybe some stretches for flexibility - and also checking with your coach or a trainer to see what they would advise. Good luck!

so my preseason for track just started and i'm really determined to good this year. so far i've been running like 2 miles and lifting weights and honestly in the past week, ive noticed i'm sleeping better and have had more energy and i've been less likely to eat junk food/larger portions. the only thing is when i go to workouts, the people i run w/ are either just a bit too fast for my pace or wayyy too slow. i like to run with another person so i can talk, but it's frustrating to run alone all the time. do you have any tips i can use to cope/possibly get up to the speed of the faster kids? also where can i find a good sports bra...i have bigger boobs, and it can be awkward when i'm running w/ guys, since some kinda poke fun at me for it (they don't hurt my feeling or anything. they're just my immature buddies who try to make me laugh-even if its not in the nicest way!) thanks!

 

hey! 1) try timing yourself when you run and set goals. as time goes on your speed will improve as long as you keep practicing 2) Underarmor is a great brand to try i hear. good luck to you girl!

I'm sixteen and have never been skinny. I'm at the heaviest that i've ever been at (161) and the smallest i was 125 when i was twelve and that was because when i was 11 i got really sick, and lost alot of weight. my doctor got really worried, and i had to gain weight. i really want to wear a bikini this summer, and want a flat stomach (mines kinda puffy) i know im not over weight and i eat pretty healthy though i love sweets, i dont exercise much because i dont really get the chance. im homeschooled and dont have access to a gym. any advice?

Hey girl! Okay my number one tip is to drink plenty of water. It seems counter intuitve, but the less water you drink, the more water weight you have. It's because if you don't drink a lot of water, your body is afraid it won't get enough water, so it holds onto everything, making you bloated and slightly puffy. By drinking plenty of water (8 to 10 cups a day) you'll flush out all the H2O your bod is trying to hold onto. Also, try to exercise! You don't have to go to a gym. try online workout vids, renting DVDs at the library, or going on a run or walk.

I am 15 years old and I know I weigh to much. Any good ideas for workouts that don't require snow?

 

Hey girlie, you can do any workout without snow. YouTube is a great place to start. You can find all kinds of different workout videos that are fun and burn calories and build muscle.

How can you loose thigh fat fast> THX

 

Hey girlie, cardio workouts are your best place to start. Something like running or a brisk walk will help tone up your thighs and help you lose weight everywhere. Another good exercise for you thigh muscles is squat. When you tone them up and build new muscle, you'll burn more fat.

I ride my bike all the time in the summer. In the winter I can't. It gets really cold, so I hate going outside. What are some indoor workouts to keep fit... but are fun, too? Also, how do I get less lethargic in the winter?

Hey girlie,

If you have stairs in your house, you could run up and down them! You can also do pushups and situps, jump roping and yoga or pilates indoors. If you want to be less lethargic, make sure you are getting enough sleep and eating enough veggies!

I'm 14 I'm 5'0" and I only weigh 85lbs. I'm a vegetarian (my doctor makes sure I have enough protein) and I want to work out to have stronger core and toned legs and arms but I'm afraid if I work out I'll lose weight. If anything, I want to gain weight so what are some good exercises that'll make me gain muscle weight in those areas. I basically want to be fit, not short and skinny like I am. Thanks Smile

I consider myself to be very active, I run a lot and am doing a half marathon in the Spring, and I'm also on my school's swim team. I am also a vegetarian, so I eat pretty healthy, though I could always do better in that category, but I can't seem to lose any weight at all, I'm not fat but it makes me discouraged when other girls are thinner than me and don't exercise or try. Is there anything more I can do to make my muscles more visible or to lose this layer of fat?

Hey girl, first of all, way to be active and healthy!  That's wonderful.  Everyone's bod is different, and sometimes this can be really frustrating.  It sounds like you're doing a great job eating well and staying active.  Check out this article to see if you find it helpful.  Best of luck with the half marathon!

I have rock solid abs,but-there's still a layer of tummy fat underneath!!!What can i do to ditch the fat and enjoy flat abs!i'm going on a cruise in 2 weeks!!!PLEASE ANSWER AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!

Hey girlie,

If you are happy with your muscle, don't worry about having a little fat, because that's normal! As long as you are eating right and exercising regularly, try focusing more on that and living a healthy lifestyle more than your appearance. Check out this ab workout for more http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/12/22/Beyonces-trainer-shares-an-ab-workout.aspx?cp=all tips, and try to be happy with how you look, because if you have muscle and are exercising then that is all you need to worry about! Have a great time on the cruise Smile
