Does the bender ball really work?

It's a great program for a well-rounded toning workout on your abs (without crunches!), arms, buns and thighs and other muscle groups.
What workout can you do without building muscle?
You can minimize muscle gain by using weights that are much lighter than you are capable of (basically, you'd be doing cardio). This might be desirable if your goal was strictly fat loss. However, how much fat you can lose and how fast you can lose it are limited by how much muscle you have. Furthermore, exercise intensity counts more for fat loss than exercise duration (4 minutes of tabatas will burn more than an hour of jogging). So by avoiding muscle gain you are essentially just delaying your goals. Many people, especially women, have a fear that if they start gaining muscle they will turn into a hulk overnight. The fact is that women that look like that spend years training and taking testosterone supplements; it's not something that is going to happen to you on accident. Muscle is heavier than fat, but also more compact and more shapely. Fat hangs, muscle defines. People who think that muscle is ugly usually don't know what muscle actually looks like. Many people have a confused idea of "tone", thinking that it's something separate from musculature. Tone is simply the ratio of muscle to fat in your body.

Will doing weights at age 12 affect height?
I don't think any minor weight training will affect your height...
however i recommend waiting until your 15-16 to start weight training and even then you should go very slowly and ask the advice of a personal trainer.
No. It's a common myth that's been perpetuated for some time that weight lifting stunts growth. 12 year olds should certainly be supervised when lifting and instructed on proper form, but weight lifting done in good form should not stunt growth.
At 5'5", 115 may not be a healthy weight for you. That is quite thin!
Remember that muscles and fat *both* contribute to your weight, and muscle will weigh more than the same amount of fat. Instead of worrying about a number on a scale, it will be better to tryt o get fit by making sure that you can do vigorous exercise for an hour and you do not have too much fat. Regardless, you should not lost more than 2lbs a week. Your doctor can help you to set some healthy goals.
It is not really possible to target a particular part of your body for fat loss. You have to lose fat in general all over. One of the best exercise is just running. If you run for an hour or so every day, you should get plenty of exercise. You can listen to music while you do it, and if you have a treadmill, then you could even watch tv at the same time.
Good luck to you. Also, don't worry too much. Try to stay as active as possible, and don't worry about the numbers on the scale.

1. Tip neck backwards and look up towards the ceiling. With the mouth opened as wide as you can possibly make it (think "size of an orange"), raise and lower te lower jaw in an open-and-close motion 12 times. Now relax your mouth and neck back to center, and tip the neck backwards again to the left, so that you are looking up towards the ceiling on an angle. Repeat the above exercise 12 times in this position. Then relax your face and neck back to center, and tip the neck backwards to the right, so that you are looking up towards the ceiling on the reversed angle. Repeat the exercise again 12 times, and relax. Accomplish these 3 sets of 12 once daily.
2. Cover your upper lip with your lower lip. Tip head back, so that you are looking up at the ceiling, and force a smile with our lower lip, stretching the corners of the mouth tpwards the ears for a count of 5 secounds.
