Answer 1

Depends on ur current age.And stature. If ure really slim,It might take couple of weeks that is, if u keep exercising the pelvic region to make it flexible.Take light meals and plenty vegetables(Spinnash) Go for gymnastic training if u can afford it. Only 3 months and u will be a pro. Good luck!!!

Answer 2

It takes lots and lots of stretching...every day. Here is one we used when I was on the pompon team. All you need is a wall and some space. Lying on the floor, put your butt up against the wall, with your legs together, straight up in the air. You will look sort of like the letter L. Then let each leg drop to the side, and lay like that. Like open scissors...it kind of hurts, but listening to music you like while you're stretching is a good distraction. This was not the only stretch we did, but trust me, its very effective! Please post a comment if you try it, I want to hear what you think!!!

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
