A Little Belly Fat that needs to disappear!!!
Alright... I am a 13 year old girl and i am very actice. I play softball, tennis, basketball, and Cheerleading.. I sometimes feel like i'm a little fat. I have a stomach pooch! Oh, forgot to mention this: I'm 5 foot and 126 pounds. I have huge leg muscles.. (Huge enough for me to squat 115 pounds if that helps any) I'd love to shed a couple pounds and get rid of my stomach fat.. It's just a little.. I have some abs but still a pooch!! I want to make my legs smaller and get rid of the pooch! Any ideas on what i should do? Like some excercises? I eat pretty healthfully and i drink a lot of water. PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm not even going to touch the stomach issue because you can pretty much figure out that eating healtier and doing crunches is the way to go on that one.
But I was a cheerleader for seven years and I have those massive leg muscles too. It's all the stunts, jumps, and gymnastics which are all pretty much just strength training. Strength training (most types) builds short and thick muscle fibers. That's why you're legs are so bulky. Cardio exercises are what build the long and lean muscles that you want in your legs. Other than basic cardio exercises like treadmill and eliptical a great thing you can do is swim laps. But if you're not getting tired doing laps, you're not going fast enough, strong enough, or doing enough. It's a low impact exercise which means you have to do LOTS of them for them to make a difference.
Also, remember to drink plenty of water. A lot of people forget to drink while their swimming because you don't feel the sweat easily. Stay hydrated.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Try laying on your back and putting your hands behind your back, Bend your knees and bring them to your chest do that about 15 times a day and you'll be fine ;)
