For starters, you shouldn't be doing this just so your boyfriend will like you. If he doesn't like you now as you are, then he's not your boyfriend. Don't let something he may have said make you think there's something wrong with you...boys that age say stupid stuff all the time- trust me, I was a 12 year old boy once.
For you as a 12 year old girl, working out shouldn't involve anything more than normal exercise... so going to a gym isn't necessary and you could hurt yourself if you overdo it. If you are worried about your weight, you should first talk to your parents about your concerns and together, look at your diet and what you are eating. Your metabolism at 12 should be high enough to help burn calories, so the right food along with some regular exercise should be all you need. By regular exercise I mean normal exercise...walking, running, biking, swimming (it's a really good one)....these are all aerobic things that are good for your heart and lungs, and will tone you up as a bonus. The key is, don't overdo it. But first and foremost, talk it over with a parent first. I hope this helped you out.

What? Anyways, I think 12 years old is a little young to work out at a gym. If you get a home gym, it might be safer.

if it's for a bf yes... I think that's ridiculous. But going to the gym is a good thing for all ages as long as the work out is age appropriate. Also, do it for yourself... you'll feel a whole lot better than you would if you were doing it just to impress someone.

absolutely not, at least your kid wants to learn to have some sort of activity. most kids just sit in front of the videos or tv and eat and get fat. i would try to monitor how much exercise he is getting at the gym to make sure hes not overdoing it.

sad world we have become when preteen are worried about looking hot. sad sad sad. I think exercise is good and healthy for anyone any age. The looking hot for someone at your age makes me hate life and the sick way we have been acting that has rubbed off on our children. *****going to go throw up now*****
