My brother is 12 years old and he is currently 4'11 and weighs 107 pounds. Is this an average weight for him?

Question:

He is now trying to jog every morning through our neighborhood which is about 1 mile running back and forth. Also, he uses the Ab-Scissor, a fitness machine that can help with his abdominals. Can this help him reduce his weight? He is starting to be concerned about how he looks and I'm concerned.

Answers:
Sounds like he is doing the right thing
let him do it ,,cheer him on..

exercise is never a bad thing..

Other Answers:
