Question

im 13 and i live in new york it's summer time and i want to lose weight im not fat it's that my belly n my thighs are fat wat should i do

Answer 1

Try Pilates. They just tone the tummy and the thigh area. Plus you get the body of a dancer, lean and tall. rather then bulking up with heavy muscle.

Answer 2

Running is great for toning your thighs and butt as well as giving you a slim physique overall! Kickboxing is also fabulous if you're into workout tapes--Tae Bo is a particularly good one, as well as Denise Austin's Power Kickboxing.

If you change your eating habits to eat healthily (lots of water, vegetables, small sandwiches, and cereal with fiber) 80% of the time and eat snacks 20% of the time, that can also help.

The BIGGEST thing for me was cutting out soda (Coke, Mountain Dew, Pepsi, Sprite) and switching to diet--you can drink a LOT of calories that way, and also lose a LOT of weight quickly if you drink water instead of soda!

Just remember that if you don't exercise now, building up to exercising 30 minutes per day can take awhile--don't feel frustrated and don't give up if you can't run out your door and keep going for 30 minutes! Work your way up to it by walking in between spurts of running and you'll still burn calories!

Answer 3

It sounds like you just need to firm up, so exercise. Swimming is an excellent overall exercise, walking or stair climbing will firm the legs, crunches focus specifically on the belly. Watch what you eat and avoid junk food and exercise, you'll feel better and look better in no time! Good luck and have a great summer!

Answer 4

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.
