Is 5'5, 14 years old, and 120 pounds too skinny?
My parents think I'm too thin so they won't let me participate in Track and Field. Is that wrong, or are they right?

You have a BMI of 20, the normal weight range is a BMI of at least 18.5, up to 24.9. Any less or any more is underweight and over weight, respectively.

5 RepliesTrack and field is non contact, right? Why does physical stature even matter? Best advice: start working out now.

Edited by SawxFan : 2/11/2016 12:23:10 AMAs someone who is 6'0 and 135, and runs a 16:53 5k (roughly a 16:20 3 mile), you'd be perfect for distance running. Trust me. I'm pretty sure a freshman on my team is only 95lb and is about 5'6 or so.

Why does it matter if you're skinny and want to run it doesn't at all

Depends what you build is. If you're just really skinny then yes, but if you workout and you can tell that it's muscle then no.

I'm 5"9 and 124 you're fine

1 ReplyI'm older and taller than you, but weigh less. I run cross country and distance track, you tell me.

That's horrible. If anything, you're about average weight. Sucks I can't convince your parents otherwise.

1 ReplyEdited by SKYTECH24: 2/10/2016 10:55:09 AMIs any of it muscle like do you work out if not then it's a little in the light side

3 RepliesDo long distance, like me. The best runners are the leanest runners. And you sound more lean than skinny. There's a difference. Worse comes to worst, you tell them you joined Science and Eco Club, and have meetings every day after school.

13 RepliesWhat event? Distance (mile and 2 mile- everyone is skinny Sprints- they'll muslce you up with the weight room Throwing- don't be a thrower, unless you're jacked

I think it's wrong that they aren't letting you do that. Just start eating more, and buying stuff with some protein in it. It would also help to have a workout routine every day. I did this and gained like 40 pounds in about 2-3 months.

6'0" and 110 pounds. You're probably fine, considering how much I eat.

No. I ran track at 6ft 140lbs. That weight isn't too bad for track. It'd probably be best for a sprinter or distance runner.
