I’m 13, and i want to have a flatter stomach and a smaller waist by summer. I weigh 130 pounds, and am 5′1. I’ve been eating healthier for awhile, but I havent been seeing results.
What are some simple excercises to help burn of excess weight around my stomach?
what are some tips?
any advice will help.
thank you in advance.
jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat – if you have any – six
pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
crunches – I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.
Go swimming or a swimming club with a coach.. it really really helps. i lost a lot of weight from swimming and plus it is very relaxing and fun!
u can free style, butterfly, backstroke, and many things and you can become a really good swimmer!

In order to lose weight, you have to exercise a nice amount each day. You don’t have to catch a workout video, though. They can be boring. Running, dancing, or playing a sport is the best way to do it because you’re having fun at the same time. Walking for 30 minutes a day helps too. Just make sure your constantly moving during your exercise and get your heart rate up.
Also, making changes in your diet will help too. They don’t have to be huge changes. Instead of depriving yourself of something you really want to eat, just eat a little proportion of it so you can taste it and be satisfied. Try eating fruits or pretzels at random times during the day between meals so you won’t feel as hungry when you start eating again (because then you tend to overeat). And, believe it or not, if you chew your food a lot more it can help lose weight! If you chew it down to a mesh instead of just swallowing chunks it will process faster in her system, so it won’t sit there and accumulate as much fat.
Once you start to lose weight, you might see that your skin is a little lose, mainly around the arms or some excess skin on your belly. To fix that, just tone them with weights and sit ups. Do a little each day and you should be satisfied.
Also, try to stay away from diet pills. Seriously, most of them are just caffeine and not worth it. Plus, it won’t be healthy for a 13 year old. If you want to try something, though, the only one I would recommend is Alli because it’s the only weight loss pill you can get over the counter that’s FDA approved. But even when taking Alli, you have to continue to eat right or you will have to go to the bathroom a lot and oil will come out instead of poop!
I have done this since September 2008 (6 months ago) and I have lost 50 lbs! I could have lost more but I let myself slip a few times.
Hope this helps and good luck!!! =)
