My 13-year-old daughter is a little overweight and wants to start exercising. I have a home gym and we have access to some aerobics and yoga DVDs. I don't want to overtrain or injure her so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Getting into cardio shape, is good for anyone of pretty much any age I think. we used to do jump rope for heart and running stuff in grade school. I just wouldn't over do it, maybe 3 or 4 times a week, lightly. However, this won't help much unles she changes her diet. Eating healthy will do alot more god with the cardio and joga, than just the dvds alone.
