What is the healthy weight for a 5'2 14 year old girl?
The Body Mass Index(using height and weight to judge if you are healthy) is an extremely flawed system.For example, these two gentlemen would both be in the same category on the BMI chart, but one of the two is obviously heaps more healthy than the other, assuming no steroids are in use.An accurate way to gouge if your body is in a healthy state is through body fat percentage.For females athletes, the normal range is 14-20% body fat. To be healthy, 21-24% body fat is suggested. If you are unable to retrieve your body fat percentage, this chart may be of use to you.Either way, at 14, you should not be worrying about your weight. Just enjoy yourself during these few precious years. Don't be reminiscing at 30, thinking about what you missed out on because you were so conscious about your weight.Of course, if you are in an extremely unhealthy state at the moment, I highly suggest you to take action.
Ankle and wrist weights for volleyball?
I would highly recommend against weights for your ankles or wrists. Particularly at your age. You are still growing and weights will not help. I was a little older than you when I put an extra weight on my golf club to help me warm up. You would not like to hear that noise in your wrist because of the weights. My right wrist made a LOUD popping noise and it felt like someone stabbed my wrist. And to make things even worse, I lost my match. That hurt even more. You can use pliometrics or other workouts instead of weights.
My wife is overweight by a 100 pounds at least, and she don't care.?
I have been married 14 years. When we got married she was 120 pounds. Now she is almost double that. I still love her, but she is defiantly not attractive to me anymore. I have told her I don't like it, but she just don't seem to care. I have no interest in sex with her. I mean none at all. Sometimes she makes me do it, and I actually get nauseous. How can I make her change?
I’m 14 years old and I have really bad chest pain and a severe headache but my parents are at work and I’m home alone, what should I do?
If this has happened before, it’s not an emergency. “Really bad” means different things from different people. At 14, you don’t have a lot of experience with pain. Any drugs involved? Have you ingested anything unusual?Time will tell; if the pain eases, you’re OK. The headache could be lack of food or oxygen to the brain. Eat a banana, if one is available. Any sweet fruit is OK and fast-acting. Can you walk? If you don’t feel dizzy, you should be OK, and after some rest, you should feel better. If you feel worse, in an hour, with more intense pain, call for help. It takes a lot to kill a human bean, esp. a healthy 14 year old; hang in there.
Can a 13 year old girl have arthritis?
i dont know much about arthritis but my little sister (whom i take care of for personal reasons) has complained for about a year now of very painful leg aches after she works out. she got it real bad yesterday. in the morning she did this 1 hour walkathon (which she ran for about 30 min) and then after school she did "Fit Club" which is basically an hour and a half long fitness option for kids (her school doesnt have gym) which they basically do presidential fitness exercises and some pretty tough workouts and sport games if you ask me. she was so sore she almost calapsed trying to walk into the library today. she was crying really bad. i dont know much about my family medical history but i think i can recall a couple people having arthritis. i talked to my professor and he told me that kids can have arthritis and i had no clue! is there anyway to ease the pain? she only gets in when she is active and doing sports. she also works out at a fitness center for about 2 hours a week (her school requires 3 1/2 hours of fitness per week) thanks!
