What is Plyo's?

You can google it much quicker than waiting for a reply here but here you go...just one of many sites that has information on Plyometrics!

Plyometrics -- also known as jump training -- is a training technique designed to increase muscular power and explosiveness. Originally developed for Olympic athletes, plyometric training has become a popular workout routine for people of all ages, including children and adolescents.

Plyometric training conditions the body with dynamic resistance exercises that rapidly stretch a muscle (eccentric phase) and then rapidly shorten it (concentric phase). Hopping and jumping exercises, for example, subject the quadriceps to a stretch-shortening cycle that can strengthen these muscles, increase vertical jump, and reduce the force of impact on the joints.

Because plyometric exercises mimic the motions used in sports such as skiing, tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, and boxing, plyometric training often is used to condition professional and amateur adult athletes. But children and adolescents also can benefit from a properly designed and supervised plyometric routine, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.

Plyometric training is associated with many benefits. First popularized in the 1970s by state sports trainers in the former East Germany, it's based on scientific evidence showing that the stretch-shortening cycle prompts the stretch or “myotactic” reflex of muscle and improves the power of muscular contraction.

Trainers have developed thousands of plyometric exercises. A simple routine for children and adolescents can start with one to three sets of six to 10 repetitions of one upper-body exercise such as a medicine ball chest pass and one lower body exercise such as a double-leg hop on two nonconsecutive days per week. As muscle strength increases, the routine can be expanded to include multiple medicine ball throws, jumps, and single leg-hops.

Plyometrics routines for qualified adults range from low-intensity double-leg hops to high-intensity drills such as depth jumps, which involve jumping up to and down from boxes or benches as high as 42 inches. High-intensity drills can subject a participant to forces up to seven times his or her body weight.

For sports that require explosive lower-body power, a plyometric routine may start with ground-level jumping on soft surfaces such as padded mats or grass, progress to jumping over cones or foam barriers, and then advance to bounding exercises performed in straight lines and patterns.

I suggest seeking serious help before you totally mess up your body. Eating the amount you are, with the exercise you do is utterly ridiculous, and totally lacking in common sense. How on earth do you think you are going to achieve anything worthwhile in life, if you destroy your health at this young of an age? And you certainly wont be getting anywhere in the athletic field abusing your body in this way. If getting into a smaller size of shorts or jeans is more important to you than your health and your having some kind of decent, productive future, fair enough. Otherwise, I suggest using your brain and sorting yourself out before you end up down a path that is very difficult to climb out of, if you aren't there already.

Wow, honestly?

This girl obviously already has self esteem issues or she wouldn't be eating so little and working out so much. Why do you feel the need to continue to bring her down? Do you think you're helping her by making her feel like crap?

OP - I do agree with most other posters that you need to seek some help. This isn't scolding, it's just a real concern for you. Your body is probably in starvation mode because you're eating so little and burning off easily half of what you eat with the amount of exercise you do daily. I know it can be scary, but you've got to up your calorie intake and put some protein into your body. You will not lose weight if you're not eating enough.

As far as thighs go, if I'm being honest, I think girls with muscular thighs are incredibly attractive. I hate seeing girls with chicken legs walking around in short shorts all summer. Girls with muscle pull them off WAY better, I always actually wished my thighs were more muscular!

Your relationship with food and your body doesn't sound healthy. Is there someone you can talk to? A parent, counselor, older sibling, even a doctor? You need to eat to be healthy. 1500 - 1800 calories a day, maybe more.

Big muscular thighs are healthy, sexy and beautiful. You need to stop trying to force your body to be something it's not. You sound like you are built like I am. I spent a good portion of my life hating my thighs and only the last few years liking them. A LOT of women are shaped like us. It's natural and healthy.

It is a bit unhealthy, but I am talking to someone about it to keep me in check! Honestly though, 1500 calories sounds scary. I can do 1000 and be a little uncomfortable. But anything over that doesnt make me feel very good (I kid you not, I actually feel sick). I honestly dont see it a "sexy", on me anyways. I just feel gross. What helped you get over those feelings and begin to love your thighs?

OP...please seek professional counseling. What you are doing is in no way healthy; this is an eating disorder.
