Answer 1

Be careful with dieting...esp. while you're still growing! You don't sound overweight for your height, playing the sports you love & eating healthy should be enough. Practice would be great exercise.

Answer 2

First, quit eating fast foods. Too much fat and calories.

Instead eat sensible, balanced meals and cut down on the portions. If you get hungry, then eat some healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables. Oh yeah, drinking a glass of water before you go to bed and after you get up in the morning helps your digestion.

I know. I know. Easier said than done.

I probably lost you already. Are you still with me?

Next, try some isometric exercises for toning your arms and thighs. Isometrics use your own strength to put resistance on your muscles. For example, you can tighten you arms by pressing against a wall with just using the muscles you want to tighten.

For tightening the stomach, crunches, leg lifts and alternate sit ups should do it.

As for pumping up the heart rate (cardiovascular) exercises, try aerobics, jogging, bicycling, swimming or your favorite exercise that exerts your heart and muscles. Basketball does that too, but you want an exercise program to complement your basketball training that raises and sustains your heart rate while exercising.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Answer 5

I HAVE THE PERFECT DIET THAT WILL HELP YOU IF YOU STICK TO IT!

This is a weekly diet. For SIX straight days you are not allowed to eat anything that contains SALT, SUGAR, STARCH, FLOUR, OR DAIRY. On the seventh day you can eat what ever you want. After a few weeks on this diet, on that seventh day you most likely will be used to eating certain foods and wont have a taste for that other stuff. So from now on look at the ingredients in whatever you eat. IT WILL BE HARD AT FIRST, BUT AFTER A MONTH YOU WILL DEFINITELY START TO SEE SOME MAJOR RESULTS.

Answer 6

You can not really spot exercise weight off.
You can make the underlying muscles tighter. But not necessarily loose the fat in the areas that you want.

Just watch what you eat and continue to work out.

Answer 7

Get used to drinking lots of COLD water. If has more oxygen and promotes faster metabolism. Quit drinking soda, and high-caloire sports drinks. Eat 5-6 times daily, and each time, eat no more than the size of your fist. Do something that gets your heartrate up to at least 132 for at least 30 minutes, every other day. Increase as time goes on. Racketball is fun, and so is swimming, and soccerball-hackey sack. When your alarm goes off in the morning, roll over and do 10 pushups every other day, and 20 crunches every other day. Alternate days. Increase periodically. Volunteer to vaccuum often, and use both arms evenly, switching back and forth. Rake yards and mow lawns. Wax the cars. These are fun activities that build your upper body while getting things done, and earning priveleges from your parents. Plus, any boys you have over to help you, will earn points with your parents for helping you get things done. Best ab/arm exercise with a partner: lay on your back, hold your legs up, bent at knees, ankles crossed, lift your head up and throw a soccer ball to your partner standing in front of you, throw and catch back and forth as fast as you can, then have your partner stand beside you while you throw back and forth (you do not move positions, just exercise your obliques by throwing to your side). When you get stronger, graduate to a 10 pound medicine ball. You can accomplish 3 major goals for a 13 year old. #1-get fit having fun by switching things up, #2-do fun and healthy things with a boy you like, #3 show responsibility and earn points with your parents. Get used to doing this kind of stuff as part of your lifestyle, and you won't have to worry too much about dieting or giving up your favorite snacks. Get used to it now, and make it a part of your life, and you probably won't have to worry about cellulite until you are at least in your 40's. Use your exercise routine to get a cute guy's attention and spend time with you. it makes guys feel important to be asked for help, admired for athletic skill, and appreciated for their time and attention. It feels good to their egos, too. You will have their attention and get into shape while having fun and earning priveleges. Hope that helps you....

Decaf coffee is a great low-calorie fluid when you're having cravings (and an incredible source of antioxidants).
