Well my resolution was to lose 20 lbs by may and i have been eating salad for lunch instead of the bad stuff my school serves. Just recently my American musical theater class has gotten a dance instructor she comes in twice a week. to warm up she makes us do 3 sets 0f 25 crunches, 2 sets of 25 push-ups(which i can not do to save my life), she makes us do 4 different kinds of pliaes*thoes balerina squats, and these strattle streches then the rest of the block we are moving... the warmup seems like a lot on paper but it only lasts for like 15-25 mins so i was wondering 2 things... would this be enough exercise to where i could start loosing fat and possible gain muscle? and how can i get better at push ups? ohh and by the by I'm 5'4 and weigh 140lbsthanks ~Amanda

Reply from Natalie, Age 13 - 01/23/05 - IP#: 165.247.92.xxx Yes, That excercise combined with eating well will definately trim you down, even just 20 min of it. Start working on baby pushups, with your knees on the ground. That will stengthen your arms. Also, practice just being in the pushup position without actually doing any push ups. that will strenghen your abs. Pretty soon youll be able to do the regular ones
