I'm 13, 5"1.5 and 90 lbs. I know I'm fairly thin, but the muscles around my stomach are rather soft and flabby. Does anyone know of any exercises that might tighten up my stomach muscles a bit? I'm not talking 6-pack abs or anything....

Lie on your back with your hands behind your head, elbows out, like peope do situps. Pull one leg up and touch your knee to the opposite elbow, repeat on the other side. Make sure when you do this exercise you are squeezing yourself together with your stomach, not just pulling your knee way up. [ badmammajamma's advice column | Ask badmammajamma A Question ]
