What exercise should a 10 year old girl do to lose weight?!


Question: What exercise should a 10 year old girl do to lose weight!?
Answers:
Activities that would be considered play, not exercise!. Play tag, swim, jump rope, hide & seek, basketball, tetherball, soccer, baseball, ride a bike, etc!. These are typical for children any way & she'll enjoy this more & it won't hurt her self esteem to "play" as much as it will for her to "exercise"!. Get out there & play with her if you have to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A 10 year old girl should NOT BE POSTING HERE!! Did you not see the bit when you signed up about being a teenager!?

A 10 year old girl needs to be talking to her parents and having them make an appt with the family GP!. The family GP will then refer the girl and her parents to a dietician specialising in helping overweight and obese kids to lose weight!. Said 10 year old girl will then learn all about healthy eating and how to lose weight safely!.

However said 10 year old girl will not get any assistance here (at least not from me) as I will not be responsible for said 10 year old girl ending up in an ED clinic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depends on the childs interests!. If she likes dancing, then use dance classes as a form of exercise!. Same goes for swimming, football, or any other sport!. walking would be good too, with friends or family!. what's important is to get something she likes doing so it is easier for her to stick to it, plus she gets to enjoy what she is doing instead of thinking of it as just a means to lose weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on her weight!. If she is severely overweight, you should avoid exercises that involve running or jumping, since this could damage her joints and possible her bone structure!.
Dancing is good too, but again, her self esteem is at stake as well, if she does dancing where everybody else is skinny she may have some issues there!.
Swimming is a very good idea, but the best thing you can do for her is to help her eat more healthy meals that include lots of vegetables, more times per day!. She will start to shed the pounds!. Let her ride a bicycle in the afternoons!.
And most importantly, you do it with her so that she has some support!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

walking, ridding a bike, swimming, anything active really!.
although 10 year old girls shouldn't need to loose weight!. unless the girl is obscenely overweight, then see doctor!.
plus, the girl hasnt even hit puberty yet, so she probly has some of her baby fat still!. that will go away after the girl hits puberty!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

walk, jump roap, swim, dance and dance classes, gymnastics, riding a bike, trampoline, hiking, ballet, roller blade/roller skate, boogie boardingWww@Answer-Health@Com

walking is a really easy, fun and cheap thing to do to get excercise!. Also, riding your bike through your neighborhood!. It helps if the parents or one parent joins in, tooWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well, 30% of each diet is exercise while 70% is food intake so just the exercise won't do much good!. If you want, she could try this!. I'm sorry, I copy and paste this answer so it may say "you" alot!. But I think that 10yr olds can exercise pretty normally (she's almost a preteen) so as long as she shows she can do the exercises I think you could let her!. But don't pressure her or gripe at her if she doesn't want to do the exercise!. She should have 1 day off though if she wants!. I think hula hooping is good (it works better if she hula hoops fast and she sucks her stomach in as much as she can!. On her lazy days, get her to at least do or try to do 50 crunches, 50 pushups, and 50sqats!. Be sure to motivate her and let her have a treat like her favorite snack or meal or take her out to eat if she stays loyal to her diet for one week!. But don't pressure her and push her and degrade her and all of that!. More often than not, kids who grew up being pressured on diet or with their eating grow up being overweight reaching for the freedom they never had!.

Try this, you can feel and see results in about three days!. Muscle will outweigh the fat so don't let the scale discourage you :)!.

For exercise, try switching it out everyday, so your body doesn't get used to the exercise (Monday Arms, Tuesday Stomach, Wednesday Legs, Thursday Rest, Friday Arms, Saturday Stomach, Sunday Legs)!. Also, one the days where legs or stomach or arms come back around the second workout of the week focusing in that area, try switching the exercise out too!. For arms maybe lift weights (if you have none then use cans and be sure to hold them away from you or they won't work)!. For stomach, you can sit on a bouncy ball and do crunches (don't hold onto your legs), for legs, maybe lay on your side propped up on your elbow and lift the top leg slowly up and down, then switch!. If you are can't exercise an hour, that's fine but try increasing the time every week or so!. If you are old enough to buy equiptment or go to a gym, try that!. As you get further into it, maybe you can buy some equipment for mainly those three areas I listed!. Also, walk home from places or on the commercial break, get up and run wall to wall!.
Also, a REALLY good workout is at youtube!.com and search for 8 minute abs, 8 minute legs, 8 minute buns, and 8 minute arms!. Try doing these on other days (ex!.: Monday arms and workout from youtube, Tuesday legs not workout from youtube, Wednesday stomach and 8 minute abs, Thursday rest, Friday arms no 8 minute arms, Saturday no 8 minute abs, Sunday 8 minute legs!. Try doing those how I listed above and don't do it more than once a day along with your daily workout!.

For food, which is very important (70% of weight loss is food intake while 30% is excercise, though both are VERY important), try this schedule!.

Breakfast:Whenever you wake up or an hour after!.

Drink of choice: One hour after breakfast (all other drinks being water!.

Lunch: 1 1/2 hours after drink of choice!.

Snack: 1 1/2 hour after lunch (or two hours after lunch)!.

Dinner: 2 hours after snack!.

Try portioning your food, one cup for meals and half a cup for snacks and drink of choice!. As you get more used to this, you can decrease your portion sizes!.
Also try measuring your calorie intake and try exercising over the amount of your intake to build muscle which burns access fat!. You can measure that at www!.myfitnesspal!.com where it measures EVERYTHING for you :)!.

If you drink cokes and need help with that, try slowly decreasing the amount of cokes you drink, one day the usual, and decrease half of the amount of that you usually drink until it's half a cup a day!.

While your exercising, I have a problem with wanting to eat then and I'm sure everyone else does too so maybe bring a mug of ice with you and eat the ice so you get a little munch out of it and you hydrate yourself while doing no harm to yourself or your diet!.

Hope this helps and good luck! :)

Also, at www!.myfitnesspal!.com if you do everything it says exercise an hour a day, eat the amount of calories! Just keep in mind that whichever diet you do YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Good luck :)

I've been doing this and so far I've lost 6lbs in 5 days :)
Good luck

Check your BMR and eat that amount of calories (BMR is the amount of calories that you burn daily just by breathing, sleeping, etc!. so if you eat that much, you burn it plus exercise will be burning more then your intake :)

Alot of people simply say "eat right and exercise" and they may seem like little help but that's really all it comes down to; those are the basics of every diet!. There are different ways of eating right and exercising but those are just the two things it all comes down to (:Www@Answer-Health@Com
