Sandra asks…
My little sister wants to ask this question!?
She doesn’t have a yahoo account, but wants me to ask you this. So here she is!
Hey everyone! I weigh 172 lbs, and am 12, and my height is 5 ft, 3 inches. I know this is like obese, so I’m trying to change! My question is, how does this plan I made for myself sound to you?

Just going down the list, here are a few things i noticed:
eggs–when eating eggs, try just the egg whites. Like two egg whites instead of one full egg, there’s much less cholestorol.
Do more than just 10 crunches, add another 0 onto that.
Walking 2 miles? Try alternating distances of running and walking.
And lift weights for more than 5 minutes. At least like 15 i’d say, but make sure you’re doing it safely.

Wow a lot of reading! Just keep the basics in mind: you want a balanced amount of each food group, drink plenty of water (ur right about the 8 glasses, if water is boring you could try adding crystal light to it), at least 30 minutes of exercise and try and cut out white food in ur meals (which include like white bread, pasta, rice and flour and so on), you don’t have to totally give up sweets and stuff just make sure you eat everything in moderation! Hope I helped!
Linda asks…
Good Workout For A 12 Year Old?
Well, I’m 12 and I started working out. So far, I’m on my second day and its going great.I just wanted to know if what I’m doing is good for me.
My workout is 30 minutes long and consists of 20 minutes of Cardio and 10 minutes of Abdomenal Exercises.
My Cardio Exercise is quite simple.I do a lot of Airboxing and Jumping Rope, I also do Jumping Jacks and this thing called Killers where u go through every stage of Jumping Jacks and back.You start of with standing on your toes and then you go back down 10 times.Then you jump up and down 10 times, after that you do the leg motions of a Jumping Jack but nothing else, you do this ten times.Then you do the arm and leg motions of a jumping jack but your arms never touch, they go up and down horizontal to your chest, again, you do this ten times. Then 10 full Jumping Jacks and then you go backwards.My abdomenal exercise consists of :Foot-to-Foot crunches,Alternating Curls,Push Throughs, and things of that nature.
I weigh around 135-140 pounds but I’m not that fat.I have a little belly fat but other then that you wouldn’t tell I weigh that much.My height is 5’9.
But my real question is, Is my Workout good for a 12 year old of my size and weight.
I really want to focus on my abdomen so that in a few months I might have abs.
I’m also focusing on my calves to try and slim those down.
But yeah Is this a good workout for me? Should I add something?Should I remove something?
Thank You for your answer.
Jane answers:
Sounds like you have your stuff figured out. Doing the cardio everyday will definitely help tone your legs and calves. Just remember, your abs are a muscles just like all the others, and like all the others they too need rest. So my only suggestion is do abs every other day to give them a chance to re-coop.
I do agree though that defined abs on a woman is not a good thing. Flat stomach yes…6-pack, hell no!
