Exercise Options
I'm 13, 5"3 and weigh approx 115 pounds. I don't want to lose weight, if that is what you are thinking. Simply, I am looking for another form of exercise that would suit me. Anyone with experience? (Sorry about the length of this post.)
Currently I take jazz dance Friday nights from 5:15 to 6:15. This is only my fourth year dancing so I just get a little sweaty.
I also have gym class at school 2 or 3 times a week. In gym we usually run 4 laps around the track (no walking!), which can be hard if you are tired, but is usually not too much of a problem. We then do another activity. (track and field, currently.)
My upper body is sort of weak and untoned, quite skinny. I have wider thighs (probably from running?), and my legs are in pretty good shape. I have a little flab around my stomach area, bum and thighs. My diet is also quite healthy.
I'm not to good in team sports (shyness), so I'm not looking for that. I want to tone my muscles and have fun. What else could you reccommend?
I've been looking at pilates. I hear that it is great for flexibility and grace (I could use that), muscle toning, and mind-body connection (could use that too for self-esteem issues.:D)
Thanks in advance for any help!

well DON'T weight lift, from the sounds of you, you DON'T need weight lifting. just try pilates and maybe occasional sit ups.;)

Try pilates, you might like it. If not, then you could try light weight lifting or swimming. Keep running on your track to keep your legs in shape.
Good Luck!
