14/f I weigh 142 pounds. I really need to burn the fat from my buttocks and my stomach. Maybe my thighs to? Is there anything besides situps and workouts that can help? I get so bored that I give up, even if I do listen to music or something. I want a flat stomach and a butt that isn't all flab. Are there any scientific treatments that are a reasonable price & can be used from a girl my age? Plus, dieting doesn't work. I've dieted all summer and seem no results. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in my diet, though.
rosie2999 answered Monday July 31 2006, 6:20 am: 14,105 female. Well... what I do is I work out every day. I do exercises called plank,bicycle,and roll up for my abs and reverse lunge and pulsing squat for my thighs and butt. Dieting wont really work if you dont work out or exercise! Try running,or stairs. Oh and when or if you run make sure you go at a pace where you can still talk and run at the same time.
Plank: (arms abs and lower back)push up position,forearms on the ground,form a straight line from your shoulders to your heels. Abs pulled in and raise your right foot about 6 inches off the ground hold for 10 seconds and do the same to the left leg. Do this 3 times. (right left, right left, right left)
Bicycle: (abs and obliques) Lie down, hands behind head. COntract abs to bing head and neck off the floor. Begin cycling be extending your right leg as you bring your left knee and right elbow together. Do 20 reps (left knee and right knee = 1 rep)
Roll up: (upper and lower abs)Lie down with your knees bent. Feet flat on the ground and palms at your sides facing downwards. Go up into a sitting position (hands still out) Do 10 reps.
Reverse Lunge: (thighs and butt) Stand with feet shoulder width apart, arms at your sides and have a 3 pound weight or full 20 ounce bottle of water in each hand. Keep your back STRAIGHT! lol. Step back with your right foot about 3 feet and dip your right knee untill it an inch or 2 above the ground. Push off and get to starting position and the do it again. Do 3 sets of 15 reps (do 45 for each leg) and then switch (do 45 reps for the other leg too)
Pulsing Squat: (thighs and butt)Elbows bent, hands together (palms together) at chin level. Lower your butt as if you were about to sit in a chair to get into proper squat position. Pulse up and down using your butt and thigh muscles to raise your butt about 4 inches from the starting position (when you are about to sit in a chair). Do 3 sets of 15 reps.
Diet and exercise will help! As long as you feel the burn you ll do fine. Also try leg lifts. Look on the internet for more exercise tips! Oh and if you really want to lose weight go get professional help! :) Hope I helped. [ rosie2999's advice column | Ask rosie2999 A Question ]
