stomach&thighs.
hi katie =] okay so im 5'2 and 135. theres times when i feel that my body is huge but then other times when i'm happy with my body. i'm currently doing 100 sittups a day. 25 normal, 25 to the left, 25 to the righht, ad 25 with legs crossed. what are other ways of toning my stomach? also my thighs.. i was a softball catcher for about two months for my school and that helped me gain muscle in my thighs, but now that muscle is much less. how can i gain that muscle back? is it possible to loose 15-20 lbs by may? and how can i do that? thanks

You have to eat healthy and get regular activity. First, I am not 100% sure that ab workouts everyday is good, becasue your muscle needs rest to build up and get stronger/toned. So, for when you do strength or core, skip a day, try strength/core one day then cardio another. Plus, if you want abs, you first need to loose fat (not saying you have any just talking ingeneral) around your stomach so your abs can show. If you have a little pouch covering your abs, you won't ever get a six pack. If you want to loose weight, try running, bike riding, or doing cardio workout videos (i like all of them). There are always cardio things to do, whatever gets your heart rate up. I know that riding bikes is cardio and when I ride I feel a big burn in my legs, and I think that when you ride a bike it will bring back leg muscles, and make your legs toned, so bike riding is my FAVORITEEE exercise. Here is some healthy stuff that I like and told people before (it will help you get healthy and loose some extra lbs)..
My top picks:
anything whole wheat- breads, bagels, english muffins, cereal, wraps, buns, granola bars, oatmeal, etc. you'll have to start looking at ingredients and if it says, "whole wheat" first on the list then thats good.
personal favorites- crispix, wheaties, flat out wraps, any Kashi
fruits/veggies- self explanitory.. the more color the better (dark red, orange, yellow, purple, blue, dark greens)
personal favorites- all fruit, carrots, cucumber, spinich (easily can sneek into sandwhiches without tasting, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, peppers
lean meats/fish (good source of protein)- skinless boneless chicken breast, turkey breast, lean steak, fish
personal favorites- fresh salmon, tuna, grilled chicken, deli turkey, ground turkey burgers
TIP- substituting turkey or chicken in a beef recipe is healthier and can taste just as good
WATERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! not like vitaim water, just normal water. the best thing for a healthy meal
skim dairy- low fat cheese, skim milk, no/low fat yogurt, show churned icecream(for a treat)
personal favorites- Lite and Fit yogurt 60 calories, skim milk
my heath/PE teacher told us that if you eat less that 1600 calories a day you'll loose muscle instead of fat, so keep that inmind! Ummm.. theres a bunch of tips that can help.. like writing down what you eat. if you ever get tempted pop in some gum to keep your mouth busy.
heres sites with alot of good tips..
