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.”
