:.Hey x3
My name is Emily and blah blah blah.


:.I have a lot of personal, family, and friend issues of my own so a lot of times, I can probably relate to you a lot of times if you have personal, family, and/or friend issues.


:.I can offer a lot of information, help, and advice on family and friend relationships, love lives, depression, stretching/flexibility, weight loss, violin, being organized, dog training, forensics (public speaking), keeping up with school/extracurricular activities, eating disorders, writing (stories and poems), and probably a lot of other random stuff like what to drink when you eat something spicy and why.


:.Although I can help a lot of you guys on the above subjects, I don't tend to take my own advice so it can become quite an awkward/ironic/contradicting situation for me or make myself sound like a complete and utter hypocrite.


:.Hannah Whitall Smith once said, "The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right." I agree 100% of it. Advice is advice and it is given when asked for. I give it and I leave it at that. It's up to the questioner/advice seeker to take it.


:.That point leads onto my philosophies in advice giving:
1. Advice is given when asked and no time else, unless your friend is about to irritate a black bear, then you should definitely advice your friend to back away and run for his or her life.
2. Advice is not critical, not judgmental, and definitely not biased. Advice is advice and should remain neutral.
3. Advice is to help, not to get 5s on every answer. As a result, my advice ends up being quite blunt and frank with a hint of rambling mixed in.

If you have general questions on the topics I can be a lot of help in (as listed above), most likely, they will be in my FORUM

If it is not, you can inbox me to request me to put it up.

:.If you want to ask me a question directly...
a)if it is not urgent and can wait a week or so, inbox me.
b)if it is an urgent question such as "I'm being eaten by a shark! What do I do???" first of all, I'm quite amazed that you can type while being eaten and second of all, e-mail me at cancel.life@gmail.com. I will answer you by midnight of that day (or if it's 11:55PM, probably by 3PM the following day).

advice

well this summer i really want to work out and get some hot abs before i go back to school, since i'll be starting off as a freshman in highschool and i wanna look AMAZING!! so- i was wondering if i could get some healthy eating tips and some workout tips (for abs-duh) so i can get a toned stomach for the fall. i already have an ab cruncher but i also need some other tips so please help!! thank you!!

Okay, well, there are 3 parts to getting the amazing abs.

1. Removing the fat.
2. Eating well
3. Toning.

1. To remove the fat, you need to control what you eat (will talk about after this) and you need to obviously burn it off. The best way to do it is aerobic exercises--running is helpful and of course, aerobic classes is a duh. Do aerobic exercise[s] 3-5 times a week for 30-60 minutes. Removing the fat is essential because no matter how many reps of crunches you do everyday, your abs won't show because it's hidden beneath the fat. Crunches tone your muscles, not melt away you fat.

2. Eating is a major part if you need to lose weight. You need to figure out how much calories you need to consume to maintain your weight or lose your weight (http://www.advicenators.com/talkaboutmetopic.php?t=365&userboard_id=35415) will help you with that information. Also, if you have a specific number of pounds you want to lose in a specific amount of time, use this site to figure out how much you need to eat to reach the goal (http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/calculators/calories-required/)
Be sensible and dont eat less than 1200 calories a day. Avoid fatty foods and eat more veggies and fruits. Don't waste your calories with chips. Fill them up with fiber and protein rich foods.

3. Toning exercises:
Upper Stomach:
Crunches. Haha. Cliche, but crunches.
Lay down on your back with your legs bent at the knee. Put your hands where your head and neck meet and support it there to reduce the strain on your neck, but by no means use that advantage to lift yourself up. Make sure your head does NOT touch the ground while you do this. Do all that with your stomach. Come off a few inches, go back down. Do 2 reps of 8 and pulse for 8.

Lower stomach:
Get in a crunch position with hands by your sides [or behind your head that is ON the ground to make it a little advanced] Lift your legs, still bent, so that your knees are over your rib cage. Now lift up your buns and lower back off the floor a little. It's a very SMALL movement but if you do it correctly, it should help. 2 reps of 8.

Obliques:
Crunch position again with your hands on your head and neck for support ONLY. Make sure your head stays off the ground the ENTIRE time. Now, remove one hand and put it straight down your side and reach for your shoe...feet, whichever. Do 2 reps of 8. Switch sides.

Lay down on one side with your body in a straight line. Take the bottom elbow and bent it at a 90 degree angle so that you're elevated from the ground. So right now, you should be elevated form the ground with only your feet and elbow [and lower arm] touching the ground. You can hold it there in that position if it's hard enough. If it isn't, take your top arm, bend it at the elbow and place your hand behind your ear. Slow bend forward/down so that the top elbow touches the ground near where your bottom hand lies. This is pretty hard and you should do however many you can.

If you want more exercises for toning other parts of your body, go here:

If you want more exercises for your abs (or if you can't do crunches becasue of back problems) inbox me and I'll give you more.

Good luck!
