Hello I am Journey and I am 15 and will turn 16 in aug. well I am 5 foot 4 in. and I weigh 157 pounds well the weight calculator says that i have a risk of becoming over wieght and i am pretty close to it I am very self consious about the way i look in a swim suit and would like to be able to look ok in a swim suit for my 16th birthday. so i was wondering if any one could help me loose my tummy and some of my thighs. If you have anything for me i could also help my little sister who is 11 and is also getting to be a little heavy i believe she is over weight but not sure so i will have to check that out but i want her to be more comfortable than i am because where i live you have to be skinny to be liked and i just want my baby sister to be better off than me so please help thanks journey
Reply from Agie, Age 14 - 06/12/04 - IP#: 24.55.116.xxx That is really sweet of you to care about your younger sister that way. My suggestion is this: Wake up each morning at about 8:30 or 9:00. It's healthier to wake up earlier then later in the day. Do some stretches, such as sitting down on your bum and putting your legs out in frnt of you like a "V". Try to touch your toes, or go as far as you can go. Another VERY good excersize for your thighs is to lay on your back and lift up your legs into the air. (You can hold your waist to give you support.) And do the bycicle in the air. That really works. As far as your tummy goes, do crunchies and sit ups. There is another thing that works very well. Lay flat on your back. (you may want to have a pillow underneath you.) keep your legs as straight as possible and roll your legs around. If you do it right, it should hurt your tummy, but it will feel very good afterwards. Also, get some Tae Bo tapes. Good luck, and eat lots of fruits and veggies! Journey is a pretty name!
