From stephanie, Age 13

the basketball season is over at my school, and my cardio is going to go down a lot. i really don't have the time to run around now that basketball is over. my mother generally gives me a lot of extracurricular activities like piano and art to keep me busy. i need to find some workouts that i can do fast and efficiently. ionly have about thirty minutes for excercise every day. i would also like to know if anyone has any stregth training regimens that don't include weight. (my mom doesn't apporove of them, don't ask me why). i have been eating quite well, but all through basketball i haven't lost a single pound. i still weigh aroung 160 pounds. i'm 5"2. it really bothers me because i train for 1 1/2 hours twice a week. i have P.E. twice a week for the same time. that means i excercise officially for 6 hours a week. then i do push ups, tricep dips, squats, and lunges in my spare time, or about 2 hours weekly. i think that i am excercising plenty, and eating no more than 1200 calories daily. it's frustrating. i don't know if i should work out more or eat less. if you know what i'm rambling about, and if you have any suggestions for me, post me a reply. i would really apppreciate it.
