Fun ways to stay fit
Exercise is so important. It can keep you healthy, happy and strong.
Exercise can help us feel better and look better. This can boost our confidence.
Just in case you feel too busy with all your chores and have no time to exercise.
Here are some sneaky ways to get moving
Dance and dress
When you’re getting dressed, put on your favourite song. Dance like nobody’s watching. You’ll be surprised how energized you will feel.
Do abs during ads
Next time you’re watching TV with a friend or your siblings, challenge them to see who can do the most sit-ups or jumping jacks during the ad break.
House help
How many times do you get asked to help out around the house?
It may seem pretty boring to sweep or clean the floor. How about you pretend the mop or broom is your guitar or microphone. Sing a song you like.
Not only will the chore be fun, but you would have filled your body with feel-good hormones called endorphins – these keep sad thoughts far away!
Put your phone down
Give your fingers a break and rather talk face-to-face.
Take a walk while you gist with your friends.
Laughing out loud with friends while getting some fresh air fills your body with good feelings, plus your stomach and leg muscles get a workout. That is way better than a smiley emoticon.
Babysitter boot camp
Have you been asked to look after your baby sister or the neighbour’s son?
Challenge them to fun games or play hide and seek.
You could even teach them one of your favourite games that you played when you were young!
This way you will exercise your muscles.
You don’t need to visit the gym to stay fit and healthy.
You know staying healthy and fit can make you feel more confident about yourself.

Hey Honey! Thanks for the comment. If you do not have the liberty of singing while doing your chores, there are other options to try out that have been listed out in the article. You can also "act a play" or drama with yourself while you are doing your chores. This way, you do not feel alone and you get to enjoy it at every point. We hope this helps

Hey 123! Thanks for the comment. Virginity has nothing to do with age. As long as the hymen is torn, the person is no longer a virgin and this has nothing to do with age. We hope this helps

Why is it that some girls have small buttock and big breast

Hey Polyanna! Thanks for the comment. The size of your breast and buttocks are hormonal and is different for everyone (even siblings). We are not all meant to have equal sized breasts and buttocks. Even twin sisters may not have the same size. This is because we are all unique individuals. We hope this helps

Hey Stella1! Thanks for the comment. First of all, it is not a crime to have stretch marks. It is part of growing and you should first of all learn to love those beautiful marks on your body. Some natural cures for stretch marks include; aloe vera gel: apply and leave on affected area for about 20 minutes. Wash off. Lemon juice: apply and leave for about 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Potato: cut potato into round slices, rub on affected place. Once the potato juice has dried off, rinse off. Shea butter: apply shea butter on the affected place as cream. Keep doing this. Be sure to use any of these methods. We hope this helps.
Hi Stella1 I used to be so ashamed of stretch marks on my butt, hips etc but a day came in my class and all the girls were talking about beauty tips so I asked about stretch marks and at end of the gist I found out all the girls were also worried about their own stretch marks even the girls I thought were perfect. So just know ur not the only one
stretch marks are bad i cant wear bum short because of stretch marks i hope all these remedy works
I won't say stretch marks are good but mine are only on my ass and to be sincere am not ashamed of it
