Hi I'm Lindsey, 5'3" and 120 pounds. I am not "overweight" but I want to feel more comfortable about my body when I'm wearing a bikini at the beach! I'm a pretty lazy teen, and I want to get active. What are some healthy exersizes that will help my body get in better shape? I don't care so much about losing weight, but I want to look better! Please give me any tips you have. Thanks ^_^

Reply from Kathryn, Age 18 - 01/17/05 - IP#: 68.222.55.xxx Yeah, you definetly don't need to loose any weight. But if you are looking to tone your body, try doing sit ups or crunches, depending upon which one you're more comfortable with, I find that sit ups are a lot easier to do, personally. But that should tone up your stomach! Also try doing...I can't remember what that's called...when you lay on your side and lift your leg that's facing towards the ceiling up and back down, but not completely down...but...yeah ^^;;
