What would help improve my body?

[PessimisticLoon]

My recent measurements were 34-25-36. I am 5'4 and slightly under 115. I know that I don't have the "ideal" body and I was just wondering what I could do to improve it. I am 15 if that matters.

I was reading through the comments and... Girl what do you mean you're "big?" I'm the same height as you, 5 pounds heavier, and people tell me I'm tiny. I think you're good. I mean if you want to tone some muscles then do some cardio. Jogging for 30 minutes each day helps quite a bit, so do scissor kicks (start out with 30 seconds of them but try to work your way up to at least a minute each day. You're supposed to do 3 minutes each day but eh... I'm still working on that myself ^^;), and push-ups or stair push-ups do too (start with 10 a day before working up to 20). Increasing your protein intake may help with that as well.

tell anyone that wants you to change a damn thing about you to fuck off. i hate the society we live in and the ''ideal'' body.. its bullshit everyones body is unique and beautiful. but do stay healthy and eat right and exercise!

But I have one more question if you don't mind. I have a really superstitious grandma who constantly compares me to my aunt who is 21, 5'8 and 95-105 pounds (was in modelling school for 3 years) and tells me to trim up in my hips because I seem bottom heavy. So I was just wondering how to deal with this because I can't tell her that she is being hurtfully because she truly thinks she is just being helpful.

[somegirl95]

thats really hard im sorry you have to deal with that.. i would try to explain to her that you are in fact at a healthy weight and you are not skin and bones like your aunt. try to tell her that she is being hurtful and you are fully aware of what your body looks like she doesn't need to point anything out as if you dont! i gained 20 lbs my first year in college and people would feel the need to tell me like no shit i hadn't noticed...

[PessimisticLoon]

I gained 10-15 pounds over the summer... which is a lot for 3 months lol. Since then everyone has noticed and pointed it out and it gets really annoying. But thank you for everything.

[somegirl95]

yeah dude just tell em to fuck off you're beautiful! :)

[PessimisticLoon]

Hahaha. You're amazing! You really helped me :)

Well, firstly it depends on what you want to mean by improving. If you simply want to look good and be healthy, I would say you are doing pretty well, maybe if you don't feel comfortable you could try a little toning or something to gain a more "fit" look.(Granted I am saying without looking at an actual picture). Now if you want to improve for a specific sport, then you would have to do so accordingly, (The ideal soccer player will have a different physique than the average basketball player). Hope this helps.

Ok.. miss pessimistic loon: You know that with your measurements and your weight, you are very close to idea. So here is what you can do... don't worry about it

[PessimisticLoon]

Alright, it is just that I am A LOT bigger than all of my friends and I just naturally get self-conscious around them.

[JohnScofield787]

All i am going to say is... just exercise... for your health... but if there places you want to change it will help tone you i suppose... but really. Quit worrying. You are I am sure lovely in every way.

You are perfectly normal. The only thing you should focus is in having a healthy balanced diet and have physical activity as much as you feel like. Fifteen is the time to build your whole personality, not just your body.

[Klaatu51]

one thing... don't feel insecure about your body.

f*ck the "ideal" one

[parkway]

You have a mental problem. You should be thanking God for a body like that instead you gripe.

[David95]

Your perfectly fine regardless of your body there's always going to be a great guy that wants you for you and not just your body

[danodamano333]

Umm... that doesn't sound bad at all.
