Do sit-ups really help burn calories? 2. I've herd that you should eat five small meals a day. Is this true? 3. What's some cardio I can do inside? (Preferably not too loud.) Thanks! Nina

You can, yes, it increases metabolism which can help one lose weight. Lots of people find it inconvient, but if you can, it's definitely worth doing. 3. You could try dancing, or jogging in place, jump roping if you have high enough ceilings. Running up and down stairs works too. Anything that gets you out of breathe and gets your heart pumping is probably good cardio.
