your fitness advice please?
Well I'm really skinny and I only eat healthy foods (with candy occasionally) but I've been gaining the pounds recently and it's showing, only through my stomach. I mean, I wouldn't really mind if my whole body got a bit bigger but it's just pushing through my stomach and since I'm skinny, it just looks as if I'm pregnant! (Well not that much but if this keeps up, in the future it will!)
For two years now I've wanted to have a treadmill or an elliptical machine in our house but my dad refuses to buy one so when I decided that when I turn 16, I'll go get a job and hopefully get a gym membership at this popular gym place that a lot of people in my grade go to. Do you think that's a good idea?
Oh! And it's like an additional...$180(?) for a personal trainer, do you think I should get one? Because I know that you can't just target a certain area, you got to do everything and I wouldn't know, I'd just use the treadmill and the elliptical machines every time. And I can't lift weights either (I can barely lift my back pack!).
And other info you can squeeze would be very nice, thank you! =]

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
You know what works wonder for the abs/stomach? Pilates.
It completely targets the abs, which is what you want, and the stuff isn't very expensive. It also makes you feel more fit and lean and you have more energy.

Well.. if your already skinny I don't think you need to be that drastic! You really just need to do some sit ups and pull ups, and your stomach should shrink. Are you eating foods high in sodium/salt lately? That kind of food makes you bloated.. how long have you been like that? Has this just happened recently? Have you gotten your period yet? Ask yourself these questions, it could just be something like that..
You don't really need a treadmill or elliptical machine to get fit and healthy. I have a treadmill and like a whole gym in my house, and I hardly ever use it. To me at least, tread mills get sooooo boring. Just staring at the wall or tv or something. Do you live in a neighborhood? Instead of taking your car or something to get to your friends house.. walk there, or ride your bike. that's a really easy way to be active.
I'm 16, almost 17, and I don't have a job (nor do i plan on getting one) If I did have a job though.. there would be no way I'd waste my money on gym membership or a personal trainer. Do you have a job yet? I don't know if you realize this, but minimum wage is like what 6.50? You can also only work so many hours because of school. They only let you work like weekends or 3 days a week or something.. (at least everywhere I know of, and that's how it is where I live.) So, it would take you awhile to get that much money.. I'd be buying like new purses and clothes hahah.
You can target certain areas by pull ups and sit ups. I think i mentioned that though.. also, do you like to dance? their is other ways of losing weight, you don't need fancy machines. :)
i hope i helped. :D
Write me if you have any further questions!
