ok i'm really short like 5'0 and I think I'm over really weight I'm about 125-130:-/ and I want to get myself bad into shape. Do you think I'm honestly over weight? Can you tell me some workouts that can help me?
I'm swimming alot now and getting back into doing a lot of crunches every day. But I need more to do. Plus I'm trying not to eat junk food and eat health (fruits, salads, some veggies) although I don't do good with veggies I don't really like them what do I do in that case?
MissJ1414 answered Monday July 5 2004, 12:59 am: I have your same problem except i'm 5'3 and 130. I don't consider myself fat, and your shouldn't either, we're just a lil chunky :)!! If you really wanna get rid of it for convedence or health or w/e then just do a 30 min cadio daily (maybe take one day off a week) and do 30 ta 50 sit ups and do leg lifts for a little while and then curls. Don't eat simple carbs and don't eat alot of fruits (lots of sugar)..try to make yourself eat some veges..don't eat big proprotions

You seem to be doing the right thing so far. You're doing exercise and eating well. Just keep it up!
On the veggies, find one or two vegetable that you really like and eat them. Find ways to eat your veggies with other things, like with pasta. There are some great Pasta Primavera recipes out there! [ lynx_wings's advice column | Ask lynx_wings A Question ]

ballerina04 answered Saturday July 3 2004, 7:34 pm: it depends on your body type. If you really feel uncomfortable, go to your family doctor and see what they have to say. I think you are doing all the right things right now though. Make sure to cut carbs (breads, pastas, ect.) Hope i helped! [ ballerina04's advice column | Ask ballerina04 A Question ]
Cammie answered Saturday July 3 2004, 6:44 pm: Naw, I don't think you're overweight! You just have a little extra weight, but you can easily get that off with some work. Swimming is great, so is eating healthy and crunches! But crunches alone don't cut it- they only focus on the central ab. But that leaves out your obliques and transverse ab muscles! Here are some to work those abs: :)
Diamond Crunch: Lie on back, knees open to sides, soles of feet together. Extend arms to a 45-degree angle over torso (hold a weight in both hands for added intensity :) ). Life torso, reaching as far forward as you can. Slowly lower to start.
Cross-leg Crunch: Lie on back, knees bent. Place left ankle on right thigh near knee. Extend arms at sides of thighs. Curl upper and lower body, brining them as close together as possible. Return to start. Do reps, then switch sides and repeat.
Ticktock: Lie on back, legs together, knees bent, heels lifted, toes on floor. Place hands behind head. Life head and shoulders, then twist legs left, then right. for [rep].
Side Raise: Lie on left side, left knee slighty bent, right foot on florr behind it. Extend left arm straight up, palm on floor; put right hand behind head, elbow open. Crunch to right (curling shoulder toward hip). Lower to starting position.
I hope those help your abs atleast! Also, since you're not eating a lot of veggies, try having a multi-vitamin pill every day. :) Keep up what you've been doing though! I hope I helped! Please rate me!
lillegend222 answered Saturday July 3 2004, 6:42 pm: dont worry to much. most of you're weight is probably muscle. I think that for a fifteen year old thats a normal weight. I'm a couple years younger than you and i have a cousin whos thirteen and wieghs about 130. If you're still concerned, keep eat health food and exercising. But be sure that the health food you are eating are really going to help because alot of fruits have lots of natural sugar like bananas. [ lillegend222's advice column | Ask lillegend222 A Question ]
