Who to listen to Ballet teacher or Polo instructor, about putting on weight.?

Question

My polo teacher (riding instructor) wants me to put on some more weight, as i am under weight to play on the team for my age group. But my ballet teacher says i am a perfect weight to dance, and i don't really want to gain any weight , and i don't know how to either. I have a really fast metabolism, i eat like a horse (healthy food), but i do 12 hours of exercise a week, so i burn it all off. What should i do?

Answer 1

It is not healthy to gain or lose weight without the advice of your doctor.

I would talk to them first.

I think that eventually you are going to have to chose between the two.

Answer 2

Both the ballet teacher and the polo instructor have their own agendas for you.  To get an opinion based on your health, see a family physician.

Answer 3

I think you are going to have to choose between ballet and polo.  They seem to be causing a conflict of interests.  Dancers are normally lean and mean.  

Answer 4

Go with your ballet teacher. Telling someone to gain weight can be very bad. There are some people like yourself, with a fast metabolism, who cannot bulk up easily (making you perfect for ballet!)
