Toning and muscle at 13?

Author Message ♥Summer♥ Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 12:12 pm    Post subject: Toning and muscle at 13? I'm a 13 year old girl and I'm a little underweight, not much, but still a little. I eat pretty healthy already, but I want to gain just a little weight. Is there a way I could do this with a little muscle instead of fat? I'm an iceskater and I'm going to do track so muscle would be good anyway. I have this excersise video that's for toning and it uses lunges, squats, and other arm excersises and you do it with light weights. Since I'm 13 I use 2 pounds weights. This won't stunt my growth will it, because the weights are so light? I plan on doing stretching, crunches, push-ups, and stuff like that too. Will this help me tone up and gain a little muscle. Oh and I'm not talking about a lot of muscle just a little. Thanks! I'd really like to be stronger, lol Back to top wade Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 12:17 pm    Post subject: well i am 13 and i use 50 lb weights. you should step it up. 2lbs wont get you any where Back to top philip Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 12:21 pm    Post subject: yeah do different exercises and also eat the right food and proteins aswell. go jogging and just try vary of exercises and sports. try chins up aswel Back to top gm0nk3y Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 12:22 pm    Post subject: No, it will not stunt your growth. If you are going to do track, you might want heavier weights. I would say a pair of 10 lb dumbells. Do jumping squats to train for explosiveness when you are on the track. It helps you get that first step out quicker. The lunges, squats that you have mentioned are excellent. They are compound exercises that work multiple leg muscle groups. You might want to do lightweight bench presses too. Strong chest helps with your speed too believe it or not. Definitely work on your abs every other day but not everyday because your muscles need time to recover. Abs (your core) are very important to running faster. Hope this helps.
