LoveMeDo answered Wednesday March 22 2006, 7:07 pm: I would defientaly do some running, but you want to mix it up. Try going to the gym and do some weights. (just having muscle on ur body instead of fat burn calories every day) Also, pilaties is a great way to slim down and get more flexible. A lot of people don't think it's good because you're not exausted, but trust me, it works! I'd suggest the beginner's video, Pilaties For Dummies. It's good to rotate what you do as well. Run one day, do weights another..etc. Also, try to have one day of rest, because that helps you get stronger too. [ LoveMeDo's advice column | Ask LoveMeDo A Question ]

Use it while watching tv or listening to music, and also in the morning or afternoon go jogging if you live in a good area for that. Try push-ups and crunches, and you should just try to eat healthier. You can mostly eat whatever you want, but make sure they are smaller (but still good sized) portions of food. Maybe you could go to a gym if you want to keep in shape, so you could ask your parents if you can go to one.

- Get moving more. Not just the treadmill; who wants to be stuck inside with the same dreary landscape? Go outside and have some fun. Enroll in some sports, run, and enjoy moving. Rollerblading, biking, and riding a scooter are all things that you can enjoy with friends or by yourself, while also having some fun!
-Here's a typical workout plan that might help you:
Morning: Eat a light healthy breakfast, don't skip. Then get moving! Every little way will help. Taking the stairs, walking to school, pretty much just wearing yourself out. Then you'll sleep better, and have more energy for running on your treadmill and such.
-Eat healthy. You've heard this a ton of times, but to stay healthy, eat healthy. Substitute junk food with granola bars, baked chips, and energy bars. Instead of soda, drink water or milk. If you have a sweet tooth a smoothie could cure it. Of COURSE you can treat yourself sometimes, just don't go overboard!
-Get enough sleep. The more sleep you get, the more energy you'll have!
-Keep a positive attitude. Put a smile on your face, and jump into the program! [ Ringingphones's advice column | Ask Ringingphones A Question ]
