Although I’m only 5’3” (on the short side), my weight is pretty much in check – I checked out my BMI and I’m very close to being underweight, but that’s not the problem..

For the last month, I’ve been pretty inactive. I wanted to exercise and be in shape, but I’ve just been really lazy and relaxed quite a bit. My jaw muscle (?) has been hurting recently, and random muscles in my elbows, or thighs or the one connecting my calves to thigh muscles (behind the knee), and my gums in my mouth…

This is bad, right? How do I make myself feel better (exercise releases endorphins?) but without a whole lot of commitment, I don’t want to have to hit the gym for like an hour everyday – I’m just a teenager so I have school and other things to focus on.. I play tennis, but that won’t be regularly possible, if at all, at least for another month.

Any suggestions appreciated :] Thank youuuuu

Tennis tryouts are Monday. I’m pretty sure there are no cuts, because not a whole lot of people join, but what are some good things to do to get in shape for tennis? I’ m already okay with the running, because I play soccer, so I’m used to it. I haven’t run since about November though. What are sme good exercises that will help with my tennis practice?
Oh, I’m not trying to lose weight.

okay, so i actually got injured (my foot) and had surgery to repair it. That was almost a year ago. Previously I was very active (I ran, worked out, ect)

I wanted to start doing things again because I had gained a bit of weight from being in a wheel chair. Sooo, I went to ultimate upper(group fitness class/upper body weight training) and it was a WHOLE lot harder than i remembered (x,x) I did use really light weights ~ 3lb and 5lb~ but this morning I woke up and I couldnt move my arms. My whole upper body seems frozen in place and it is painful to move(reach for something, pick up somthing) ect. Almost like a whole upper body cramp, i cant rotate my shoulders and bending at my elbow also is quite painful.

I’ve never had any problems doing this class previously and i could do ~5lbs 10lbs~ quiet easily. I’m not very familiar with injury or soreness in my upperbody so I am not sure what I should do and if I am actually hurt or just sore. Streching the muscles and poping the joints havent helped but created a burining sensation(which makes me think its an injury instead of soreness) the only type of muscle realted injury i am familiar with is in my legs and feet (quite prone to those) so i really am in the dark here about the problem.

Areas in pain:
Lower arm muscles
upper arm muscles
chest muscles
shoulder muscles
back muscles

now i know they cant all be injured but I do know that my shoulder area is where allmost all the pain is, (as in if i try to rotate the joint its horribly painful) my arms feel like they are just sore except that my right elbow feels like I may have pulled something… similar to throwing a softball wrong and hurting the elbow and shoulder area it seems.

What should I do, am i hurt in the joints or no?
