Hey everyone,
I love spandex workout pants, but something is almost always missing from them - pockets! I always need a place to put my iPod, phone, or keys. Here's a way to add flair and function to your gym clothes. Just follow the steps below! What You'll Need:
Scissors
A piece of cool fabric like neon pink or cheetah
Needle and thread
Pair of workout pants or shorts Step 1: Go to your local fabric store and pick out some cool fabric. You want your pocket or pockets to add a unique touch to your workout pants! Step 2: Pick out a pair of workout pants to sew your pocket onto. Step 3: Pick out a place for your pocket or pockets. You can rock one on the ride, or one on each side. Step 4: Cut a square of fabric that will form as the pocket. Lay your iPod or phone on it before you cut to make sure your they will fit inside. There should be equal measurements on each side of the square. Step 5: Get your needle and thread ready! Make sure the thread matches the square or the pants so that the thread doesn't stand out against your pants. Step 6: Put the fabric on the area it will be placed and begin sewing on one of the sides. Continue to sew until the pocket is secured on your workout pants.
1. Gotta Keep Moving: Why drive two blocks? Walk there, if it's safe. Crowded parking lot? Forget it...park on the far end, and walk - if it's light outside. Talking on the phone? Walk around. Clean your room as you analyze what everyone said at the party. (Productive gossip, I call it.)
CAUTION: Do get plenty of sleep at night, and DO NOT EVER EXERCISE OR "KEEP MOVING" TO THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION! 2. No Couch Potatoes, Please: Watching TV? Surfing and Chatting? Are you accompanied by a bag of chips? Watch out! Sitting and vegging occasionally is great - - but for many hours a day, it's no good. Ditto for the chips - a few are cool. A bag - NOT. Get some fresh air and some non-virtual exercise. And an apple wouldn't kill you either. 3. Find a Sport You Love: ...and stick with it. Shooting hoops, running, kick-boxing - anything that you enjoy that makes you move your muscles. Not only will this favorite activity keep you in shape, it will also keep you friends with your body. When you see how much your bod does for you, you may appreciate your muscular legs. Super models don't play football or field hockey. Healthy people do. 4. A Few Good Meals: DO NOT STARVE. It's simple. If you deprive your body of food, it will eventually deprive you of proper function. You should not be consuming entire boxes of cookies, either. But there is a happy medium - well-balanced, healthy meals that fit your eating style. Do you prefer five or so small meals - an apple and a yogurt, or a salad with some bread - to three big ones? That's fine, too. But you need to get enough carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables, meat or fish or poultry, and dairy products - all of them, every day. If you are not sure about what's right for you, consult a nutritionist. They love talking about this stuff. (It's more than a job for most of them...)
5. Look Out for Number One: Be good to yourself.
Get some sleep, for God's sake.
Take care of your skin. Don't color your hair so many times that it falls out by the time you're thirty.
Don't smoke. Don't do drugs. Don't abuse alcohol. Surround yourself with supportive people. Screen out the non-supportive.
Treat yourself like you would treat a boyfriend or girlfriend with whom you are in love.
If you don't, who will?

Physical fitness includes heart health and muscle strength, stamina and flexibility. For teenage girls, good fitness can help improve athletic performance, avoid injury and prevent health problems later in life, such as osteoporosis. If you are a teenage girl, follow guidelines of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to stay healthy and fit.
BUILD AEROBIC FITNESS
HHS recommends that most of your daily exercise should be aerobic, which is vigorously intense exercise such as jogging or jumping rope. You should break a sweat, but you should be able to talk while you are exercising. To build cardiovascular fitness, start by getting your heart rate up and taking a break after a few minutes if you need to. Don't stop completely, though. If you're new to jogging, jog for five minutes, then walk until you catch your breath. If you are cycling or rollerblading, add coasting and downhill grades to your route to give you a break. After you have built up your stamina, exercise at this level for 20 to 30 minutes, three to five times per week. You can dance, swim, jog, skate, cycle or use exercise machines to create aerobic workouts.
When you build muscle, you can run faster, jump higher and hit balls harder. You can use your body's weight to do muscle strengthening exercises, doing push-ups, sit-ups, squats, lunges, pull-ups and chin-ups. To help with your basketball shooting, volleyball spiking, softball throwing and tennis serving, work on your upper body strength by practicing pull-ups and chin-ups. Even if you can't do one, the effort it takes your muscles to try will help build strength. Keep trying until you can do one, then you may get strong enough to do more. Push-ups are another good exercise for upper-body strength. Your core area is very important to most sports. Core strength also helps with good posture and helps prevent back pain. Add sit-ups and abdominal exercises three times each week.
IMPROVE BONE STRENGTH
Weight-bearing exercises also help you maintain bone density, which is important for girls and women. As you get older, your body will produce less estrogen and you'll lose bone density. You can take calcium pills, but weight exercises are the best prevention. Use dumbbells and resistance bands to do exercises such as biceps curls, which have you lift weights up and down from your hips to your shoulders. Strengthen the backs of your arms with triceps extensions. Put your hands behind your head, then lift the dumbbell or pull the band straight up, turning your arm forward so your palm faces away from you. To work on your chest, do flyes. Start with your arms straight out at your sides, then bend your elbows inward and bring your hands together so they meet in front of your chest.
People today live busy, fast-paced and sometimes stressful lives which comes as a part of living a more modern lifestyle. Finding the time for a regular physical workout can be challenging for those who have a lot of things on their plate. However, there are things that busy working girls can do to put in the time for exercise on their full schedules.
Here are some simple suggestions:
Find a gym close to where you live or work
A lot of people waste their gym memberships by not going to work out. One of the easiest and most simple things you can do is to join a gym close to where you work or live so that it will take less effort for you to go to your workout or fitness class. Some companies even have their own gyms inside their buildings, so it would be best if you take advantage of this employee benefit. You can bring your gym wear to work in sports bags so that it is ready whenever you have the time for a workout.
Invest in a home gym
One of the best ways to be fit when you don’t have much time in your hands even to go to a gym is to set one up right in the comfort of your own home. You can start with having the basics such as weights and a treadmill. If you are on a budget, try looking for exercise equipment from second-hand stores and surplus shops, just make sure that they are still in good condition when you buy them. This way, you can get to work out anytime you want without making the effort to go out of the house and drive all the way to wherever your gym may be.
Set small goals first
A lot of people feel frustrated when they fall off the exercise wagon that they stay out of it completely. One of the ways you can motivate yourself is to set up small goals for yourself and work your way up to bigger and better fitness goals once the smaller goals have already been achieved. This way, you do not feel overwhelmed by the looming task that seems ahead of you while at the same time still keeping your fitness goals manageable and attainable.
Have a healthy and balanced diet
Aside from regular exercise and physical activity, having a healthy and balanced diet is also important to your personal fitness. Remember to bring water bottles whenever you are working out so that you do not feel dehydrated in the middle of your exercise. Dieting and exercise go hand-in-hand when it comes to reaching your fitness goals so finding a balance between the two is very important.
