You always hear people say you can go swimming or workout at the "y" but what does it cost? Is it as much as a gym membership? Do they have good equipment? Thanks!
The quality tends to vary by location. The one here seems very nice, has a lot of amenities, multiple pools, workout rooms, basketball/racquetball/volleyball courts, workout classes, childcare, etc. We went and looked at it, but it was a bit pricey for our taste. Still though, the locker room had a steam room and I thought that was pretty damn cool.
Go there at any time and they'll give you a free tour.

I am 13 male and i am 1.67mt or 5.5ft and i weigh 60kg or 132lbs. I eat a lot of everything but i am pretty skinny, i would like to make chest muscle and abs, but at the same time not get skinny, cause i dont like to be skinny. So is there any advice i can have here to make me buff up??
Eat more, more often, and put those calories to good use. You're too young and still developing so you need not worry about supplements. Just make sure that what you are putting into your body is good; less cheeseburgers, more grilled chicken. Get plenty of protein (protein shakes and such are almost never necessary, you can get more than enough from food) and do lots of upper body and core exercises.

Okay well I'm 13 and weigh like 100-103 pounds. I think I'm fat. All of my friends don't but I do. They are all super skinny. I really want to go to a gym and work out like on the tredmils but my parents don't think it's a necessity but I do. I'm also only 4'11 almostt 5'0. I do eat somewhat healthy but lots of sugary things witch I am doing my best to stop. I may think of dieting but I need suggestion to lose weight. I want to get back in the low 90s or mid 80s. No time limit so any suggestions?
At 5' even and 103 lbs, your BMI is 20.11. Getting below 18.5 would make you underweight, which would happen at 94 lbs or less. I don't think you need to lose weight. Instead, I think you should focus more on toning. Do exercises that target whatever area you find the most flab. I'm not the guy to ask about targeting areas, I tend to do the full circuit at the gym.
At your age, you don't need to worry much about what you eat, as long as you put some effort into working it off. Just focus on portion control. Eat until you are full, and try to avoid eating more than that. Wait before going back for seconds, you may not feel like it after about 15 minutes. Avoid unnecessary snacking. A lot of people eat when they're bored. Learn to realize that and have another vice instead.
It won't take much effort to see a difference. Make yourself a simple exercise routine and watch what and how much you eat.

I'm getting a treadmill in a few weeks, and I was just wondering, having never used one on a weekly basis, how much I should start of doing? And how much a week? Also, how long will I have to do before I see a change in my weight?
Thanks.
Well, I measure my time on a treadmill in calories burned, not minutes. I personally use one as a warm-up before I hit the other machines, and I'll do about 200-250 cals before I move on. This takes all of 30-45 minutes at a slow pace. If I feel frisky enough to do some jogging the time is cut in half.
Start slow and get your body used to it. Try 250 calories a session. Increase calories burned by 10 a day until you've reached a point you feel like you've gotten something accomplished, without over-exerting yourself. A good tip is to time your workouts with your favorite TV show. If I get on the elliptical or treadmill when Monday Night RAW is on, I'll workout for 2 hours straight. There's no way I'd have the attention span to do that without the TV.
Glancing at the wikipedia article I just pulled up, calculating how many calories to burn over a period of time to find weight lost looks like a pain in the ass. There's too many factors. Just limit how much you eat. Eat until you feel full, not necessarily until you're out of food. Use the treadmill to make yourself feel better, not run yourself into the ground.
The big point is, don't focus so hard on the numbers you generate on your treadmill display. If you have a decent diet, don't eat too much, and exercise, you will see a change in weight. I can't say how quickly, but it will happen.

Will jumping on a trampoline everyday help your weight problems? Please and thank you.
Well, yes, but if you are looking to burn calories with a daily workout, you can for sure find something more effective than a trampoline. It's low-impact and fun, but if you are looking to get serious, running or walking would do more for you. I get on the treadmill or cross trainer and watch my favorite shows. I'm gonna be staying in one place to watch them anyway; I might as well be doing something productive at the same time.
The trampoline will help your quads, but probably won't do a whole lot to lose weight.

Hey,
I am a 5'(foot) 3''(inch) 13 year old Female and I weigh 123pds. Is this over weight?
♥ Meg ♥
No one who is old enough to access this site and weighs under 150 lbs. is overweight. NO ONE. Unless you're under 4' tall, but I see that you are not.

Well Im 15 and im 9 and a half stone, the doctors say that my weight is perfect for my age and my height. but i still have a big stomach. its so annoying. My mum said that my weight is alright and always calls me skinny but im not! I need to lose some weight but if i lose too much the doctors put me on steroids. so how can i lose my big stomach but stay at 9 and a half stone? is it even possible? thankyou so much
luv shelly
You might want to specify what a stone is, as most people here are not from England. (A stone is 14 pounds, right?)
At any rate, your doctor is right. Your weight is fine. Just remember that you're not like any of us fat-ass Americans over here.
