Answer 1

If you are 12 years old you are probably eating a lot because your body is growing, which is good, but make sure you are eating the right things. I was captain of my squad six years in a row, and girl...let me tell you...you are gonna be proud of those legs when stunting time comes. Because you have larger legs, you will probably be a base, and all your power comes from your legs. If you want to get them smaller, eat small, healthy meals every 3 hours during the day. Keep an apple or wheat crackers in your backpack and drink lots and lots of water. Lunges always helped me to keep my legs and butt toned and looking great. A piece of advice I was once given to slim up my thighs was to sprint (run really fast) a short distance, barefoot, in the grass. It targets muscles you normally wouldn't use...the muscles that you want to trim down. But never ever be discouraged by your size, because cheerleading is all about power. Remember:
ATHLETES LIFT WEIGHTS BUT
CHEERLEADERS LIFT ATHLETES:)

Answer 2

Pilates involves a series of controlled movements that target specific muscles to address muscle imbalance and realign your body. This helps your muscles and joints return to their optimum functional state to regain strength and flexibility. Gradually you will start to feel lighter and taller, use your muscles more effectively, and improve your range of movement.

While some people may choose Pilates for remedial exercise, others such as professional dancers, actors and athletes devote their time to Pilates training in order to enhance their physical performance.

This is what Pilates will do for you: Improve posture, strengthen and realign the spine, develop firmer,sleeker, more powerful muscles, loosen tight muscles, relieve tension and stress, reduce body aches and pains, acquire natural rhythm and coordination, tone and define the body by lengthening and strengthening the muscles simultaneously and prevent muscle and soft tissue injury.

Answer 3

if your 12 you probably still have baby fat, it might just go away by itself when you hit puberty, and if you want to have 'smaller' legs, u have to work out. go for a jog everyday, use an excersise machine, anything that u can feel the muscles on your legs burning...eat more fiber, like green peppers, or drink green tea, this will help you have regular bowel movements so you lose some weight, and it pumps up metabolism. lay off junk food, and dont give up :)

Answer 4

I trust the men you learn approximately. I consider legs must no longer be too thin, and no longer too giant. Like no longer a excessive hole among your thighs, or possibly no hole, nevertheless it all is dependent upon the woman. Also, with muscularity, i really like a good quantity of fats, however nonetheless be competent to make out the muscle as good. Legs are an overly in-among factor

Answer 5

Exercise! Do a good regimen of cardiovascular work combined with leg exercises. The stairmaster at the gym is good, or perhaps nordic track kinds of machines. Or, simply run or walk every day and combine that with leg exercises. Good luck!

Answer 6

Walk Walk Walk...don't do any weight-training or stair stepping, b/c this tends to muscle up the legs more. You just need to walk everyday for 30min - 1 hour at a pretty brisk pace. Jog for half of it if you can....you'll start to see a difference, slowly but surely.
