about

Hi everyone! My pen name is Hannah and I am a 17-year-old girl. I like languages, friends, cats, and many other things. I really love giving advice, and I am studying psychology now. My favorite questions have to do with mental health. As I said above, I am taking psychology classes now, but I also do a lot of outside research, so chances are that if you say something to me about a disorder or anything like that, I will know what you are talking about. Although I am not a licensed psychologist, I hope to someday be one and I would love to get some practice here.

Also, if you ever have a problem and you like my advice and would like to talk with me, I have many messenger services so I would be more than happy to set up a time to talk with you about whatever you need.

I hope to here from you soon!

Well, Ive gained alot of wieght since last summer
And I was wondering if anyone knew of any workouts I could do at home to shed the weight. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :]

Thank you for this good question. I will give you a workout that I have heard. Please keep in mind that it takes time to lose weight, so don't be discouraged if change doesn't happen right away.

A relatively easy thing to do is dance for about half an hour to 45 minutes a day. I saw results in just a few days. I did Irish dance, but it doesn't make a difference. You just have to make sure that it gets your heart rate going.

The following workout was something I found hard, but it works if you stick with it. It is a little long, so bear with me. The whole workout is to be done three times a week, and you should see results in a month. You might want to get an exercise or yoga mat.
Remember to stretch out before you start. The people who made this workout recommend that you run in place for three minutes. (By the way, all the info about this workout was taken from Girls Life Magazine, April/May, 2004)

1.) Toning Push-Ups. Hold a full push-up position (knees off the mat) for a 20-second count on both the "up" part and the "down" part. Your goal is three sets with 12 complete push-ups.

2.) Squats 'n' Shoulders. This is used to develop strong, lean legs and powerful shoulders. Start with dumbbells at your side (if you don't have these, you can use a bottle of bleach that is weighs a few pounds, but the dumbbells are a little better) with your feet shoulder-width apart. Raise the dumbbells out from your sides, bending slightly at the knees. Do three sets of 12.

3.) High Hip Run. This is similar to running in place, but you have to bring each knee up as high as you can toward your chest. This is hard, but try doing four sets at 30 seconds each.

4.) The All-Over. This works your arms, chest, and back muscles. Start in the push-up position. Raise one leg up and down for a total of 15 reps. Switch legs. Try doing three sets of 15 on each leg. You can make it harder by doing an occasional push-up.

Also, make sure that you eat healthily so you have plenty of energy for all this exercising! I wish you the best of luck, and don't give up. I will be rooting for you. :)

If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to send me a message. Good luck!
