kids bicycle protective gear image
Karolina G
I am 11 1/2 years old, female, and I weigh 179 lbs. I am always the one being picked on. I hate not having any friends! I'm sick of not feeling good either. I want to be able to run that mile in p.e class! I want to be able to keep up to all the toher kids. I'm sad, lonely, and fat! I want to lose weight before it becomes more of a problem!
I have no energy, and no friends.
PLease, Can you guys help me. I'm tired of being made fun of.
I have a horse, and I ride. My cupboards are bare, but my family eats out EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! AND MORNING
Answer
It all comes down to eating less and exercising.
Try starting with lower impact exercise. Your heavier weight might make you more prone to injuries.
Get yourself a bicycle and get riding. Great exercise, low impact. Also, if you have access to a pool, swimming might be good, although it is not as good for weight loss.
While you might be a little young, you might want to consider light weight training. Start with your body weight with squats, pullups, situps, pushups, etc. When you lose some weight, try some free weights and running.
If your school has a sports program, try going out for a team. I don't think they become really competitive until high school.
If you have a game machine that has Dance Dance Revolution, use it. I've heard that is a great and fun way for kids to control their weight.
Your family's habit of eating out every day is both expensive and unhealthy. I'd be suprised if the rest of your family wasn't overweight as well. You might have to start buying some of your own food for your own health if your parents refuse to take their responsibilities seriously. Maybe you should call child protective services. I think the way your parents feed you can be considered parental negligence.
In general, eat more salads, greens, vegetables, etc. Pass on white starchy foods and eat more whole grains and lean meats. Above all, avoid all processed foods. For example, if you eat popcorn, don't eat microwave popcorn, learn to make your own and you can control the butter and salt.
Above all, avoid sugary drinks! They are poison and probably do more to keep you overweight than anything. Stick to water, some milk and real juice and unsweetened tea.
But at the same time, remember to let yourself have a treat once in a while. If you want cake or ice-cream, eat some. But don't go overboard. Listen to your body and don't eat when you are no longer hungry and don't eat until you are full. You do not want to feel deprived at any time, nor do you want to feel stuffed.
You are in a vicious cycle. You overeat because you have low self-esteem. You have low self-esteem because you have no friends. You have no friends because you don't have the energy to do the things they do. You have no energy because you are overweight. You are overweight because you overeat and the cycle starts again.
Remember that the process will be slow. Do not get discouraged when you don't see results overnight. If you do start exercising and eating better, you will first feel much better about yourself, then you will start to look better. If you have a bad day and overeat, get over it and start anew the next day.
Good luck. Hopefully by this time next year you will be in a better state of mind and fitness. Remember that you are responsible for your own happiness.

Best pocket bike for kids?
Asia D
I want to purchase a pocket bike, mini dirt bike, or mini quad for my nephew's graduation present. He is 6 years old, about 60 lbs, average Height. I want to know the best thing to get him, if there are any with speed lock-outs or remote shut offs. A few good name brands would be awesome. I also need something I can get training wheels for. I'm looking to spend no more than 500. Please no comments about how he doesn't need one or that he needs to be supervised he is well taken care and we understand this isn't a toy. I just need advice on what to buy. Thank you!
Answer
Pocket bikes are Chinese made knock off's/clones of Japanese and European bikes. They are inferior to the bike they are cloned from. They do not have the reliability, dependability, quality or craftsmanship of the bikes they are cloned from.
With that said, I would recommend you look into a Japanese or European bike. He will fit on a 50cc to a 65cc bike. Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha and KTM all make mini-bikes.
Since you do not have a lot to spend, you will have to look used. Check Ebay, Craigslist, CycleTrader and BikeFinds.
If you go with a used older bike, Honda used to make a MR 50 2-stroke and an XR75 4-stroke. The XR75 is built like iron and will last for your nephew's children.
The Yamaha PW50 has a restrictor that can be removed.
When it comes to training wheels, just Google mini-bike training wheels. There are a lot of different ones out there. Example: http://gokartsusa.com/EZ-Bike-Mini-Motorcycle-Training-Wheels.aspx
Training wheels are not cheap, they cost around $150. You can also look for used training wheels on Ebay and Craigslist.
If your nephew can ride a bicycle, he will be able to ride a dirt bike. I am not a fan of quads. When I taught my children to ride, I also let them ride my buddies quads. They all preferred dirt bikes to quads. Quads are super easy to learn to ride, but are very easy to tip over and if they do not keep their feet on the pegs can get run over by their own machine. Quads are also heavier than dirt bikes and if the child flips the quad, they may not be able to get our from underneath it without help.
This is the motorcycle racing section, so we mainly only recommend racing machines, but since he is just starting out a true mini-bike from say Sears or Pep Boys might fit the bill fine. These mini-bikes brand new cost under $400. Have large 4-stroke lawn mower engines on them and are perfect for trail riding and basic transportation. If your nephew likes riding though, he will outgrow the mini-bike within a summer.
Don't forget riding gear. Helmet, goggles and a pair of riding boots. Goggles, gloves, shoulder pads with chest protector, kidney belt, armored riding pants and racing jersey can come later. You can find used gear at Ebay, Craigslist, garage sales and flea markets. Does he need the protective gear for a mini-bike? Probably not, but a helmet and goggles are the minimum he should have.
If he ever needs tips on riding or maintenance, tell him to check Youtube. The amount of information on there is unbelievable. He can learn everything from fixing a flat to rebuilding an engine.
