how often and for how long should ‘I’ exercise..?

I am 13 yrs old, 5’2 and 98 pounds. Everbody says I’m skinny but what they don’t see is that I have some fatty body parts that needs to be worked on (eg. waistline; used to be 24 inches; now 27). For short, I have gained weight.

I do exercise 6 times a week (pilates & cardio), 60-120 hours per session. I just wanted to ask how often should I exercise with my case for faster results.

P.S.
If you don’t have something HELPFUL to say,
then don’t say anything at all!

P.P.S.
Please don’t tell me to accept for what i am right now.
I really don’t need sentimentality..

    At 13, your body is still growing!!

    What you think is a bit of “excess fat” is your body trying to store some energy for your growing process…

    You need to fill out. Your body needs to ascertain what it needs and as long as your eating a balanced diet, of minerals and foods that you need, your body will assimilate what you need and expel the rest.

    What you dont need to do is follow the “fad diets” because your girl friends are doing it, or, you think the boys will like you if your so thin that you can be in a shower and not get wet!!

    That is unhealthy and totally disruptive to your body. Let nature take its course and who knows, you may even shoot up, in a growth spurt, with the little bit of body fat that you accumulate..(yes, the body DOES need some energy in which to grow, or you will be short changed)…

    At 5’2″ and 98 pounds, you seem like the ideal weight! (maybe a bit thin, but check with a Doctor and they will best advise you).

    Your waist will not be skinny all the time. Your body is changing, ready for Motherhood, when you get older, yes, your still growing inside and you need to be relaxed about what your body is trying to do, when you are 22, then your body will have stopped growing, and you will have to determine what is best for it “then”, not now)..

    I wish you well…

  2. You are 13, probably you still have some baby fat? It could possibly be genetics too. Find an exercise that targets your waist only. Could it be the pilates you have been doing is building muscle in your upper abs and make it seems like you have a bigger waist line?

  4. You are probably exercising too much which is not good for you. Second of all you are still very young and your body has not caught up with what it will be later so at 13 you need to stop worrying so much about your body because you will regret it later. Regardless of how much you exercise or diet you will not lose all of the fat on your body without lyposuction no matter how hard you try without putting yourself in the hospital.

  5. You’re doing the right amount of Cardio, 60-120 minutes (not hours) per session. Do not do more than one session per day though. Cardio burns fat all over, so as long as you’re doing that you’re working on your waistline and everywhere else that there’s fat on your body. I know you don’t need sentimentality, but don’t stress yourself out about it too much. The body you have today won’t be the body that you have as an adult. That’s like trying to get excessive work done on your baby teeth when they’re going to fall out anyway.
