Well, wow, exercise, eat healthy, don't smoke, don't drink too much???? Who would ever have believed that such things would improve your health?
It amazes me that people need to be told these things. Heck, follow those steps and not only will your chance of cancer go down, you'll have better skin, breath, teeth, moods (pms is no excuse to be female dogs), you'll live longer, look younger, be happier, and over all come across as much more intelligent than the people who complain about being overweight and unhappy and then go to McDonald's.
Only don't just power walk, at least jog thirty minutes, crunches, pushups and hopefully more. If you go to a gym, use real weights, not hand weights. I'm a girl, I can do squats, deadlifts and bench presses and I definitely don't look like one of the scary male hormone ingesting body builders. The standard bar without added weights is 45 pounds, you can at least squat and deadlift that unless you are excessively overweight, then start with treadmill and resistence.
I am tired of women not exercising properly: I go to the gym and the skinny girls with no muscles are bouncing on the elliptical machines and using five pound weights: that won't keep the weight off when you get a few years older, and having real muscles from real weights and running and you can eat more because muscle burns calories just sitting there! Elliptical and stair machines don't use all the muscles that running and doing actual stairs do, there's no pushing yourself away from the ground.
Stop being wimps and hiding behind "girls can't do weights, we'll get big ugly man muscles and boys will think we aren't feminine enough and I'm just too weak cuz I'm a girl...sob!"
That's crap and we all know it! I'm a girl. I have lost at least 70 pounds of fat over the last year and a half by not inhaling vitamin water (regular water has electrolytes and no sodium, sugar or calories: which one do you think will help you lose weight???) and sodas and all that crap and working out, hey I don't even like most sugary stuff now because food is disgustingly over-sweetened in America far too often.
Guys like girls who have athletic bodies: athletic bodies are hot. They also like knowing what you actually look like in the mornings as apposed to what your favorite ten million makeups on your face all at once look like. I talk to guys, and get their honest opinions, I have many friends who are guys.
Girl muscles do not get huge and have veins popping out unless we take male hormones and work out 4 or 5 hours a day. That's nature, we are smaller and feminine looking no matter if we do real work outs.
I find it horrible that articles aimed at women's health always say to do these things that we should be doing automatically. If you have ten minutes free time a day, that's enough time to do push ups and sit ups. Women's health magazines are crap too. Do lighter weights and the same things the guys are doing-you'll burn more calories, look better, and gain more respect from health conscious men.
grr.
