edge on their competition. Unfit people do it to get fit - FAST-
some good websites, cause i have to go out for my sis b'day lunch.
en.wikipedia.org/
www.bodybuilding.com/ - this ones GREAT!
au.askmen.com/
These should get you started
its basically a principle of exercising at around 90% of your hearts highest capacity (220 minus your age - easy, but not tottaly accurate). You excercise at 90% for a short period of time, then excercise at around 60-65% of your highest rate (kinda like a rest period).
EG.
30 seconds of SPRINTING
30 seconds of WALKING BRISKLY
Do that for 5 SETS (because your beginner, try just fast running - not tottaly sprinting)
read the websites tho. Research has been done and its 9x better than normal cardio
gtg now,
hope i hepled

Make sure you do 'em right. You may think you are but you're not. Check some websites, that are reliable of course and you should be fine.

It's great you're motivating yourself to lose weight. Kudos to you

I am skinny as hell. People think I'm ano but I'm not I just have a fast metabolism and I do eat alot...I do!

Year 6 helped me so much. I exercised so much cos we had to do fitness every morning. People wrote notes to get out of it but it pushed me really hard to get my best. But now I'm deteriorating..I need to exercise.

in the pharmacy i work we have this weight loss product.. people keep on comong for it .. this chic emailed us saying she lost 1 kg in a week.. scary but ur 2 young for that however the product has one of the better advices for weight loss: EAT SLOWLY lol simple but effective.. u eat slowly ull get full quicker and hance eating less

you can follow this daily meal routine if u want.. it may seem like itll get u big but truth is its high in protein which is what u want.. make sure u do cardio exercises as well.. otherwise that protein will just bulk up *i think*

pictures too big
i212.photobucket.com/
i212.photobucket.com/

anyways dont be lazy stairs over escalators and elevators!!

For now follow this exercise routine.. if you dont understand them ask me (PM)

Feet elevated push ups 1 set 8 reps
Hack Squats 1 set 12 reps
Wide grip chin up to back of neck 1 set 8 reps
Reverse triceps push ups 1 set 12 reps
Leg push out (they burn) 2 sets 15 reps

follow this for a week and if u enjoy it i can give u the routines for all the other weeks.. and dont workj out more than 3 times a week trust me

am i taking this too seriously? oh and by the way luke(insert random numbers) if u think its a random thread dont participate ..

Am i to assume you have a bit of "man-boobage" happening??
you say "flabby" chest and gut...
thats kinda what i had...
I wouldnt reccomend dieting, ESPECIALLY at your age, where your entering/entered puberty...and your body is jumpings its hormones around like crazy and eating a whole lot.
Best suggestion? EAT HEAPS
MWAHAHAHAHAH
But im serious! eat 6-7meals a day...The only catch? smaller portions! and more of the good stuff! (ps, the eat slowly thing is good...you eat slowly, you do feel fuller - faster).
Put it this way..
There is no such thing as SPOT REDUCTION (at least, not in your case, at your age, and "our" knowledge ). The only way to lose fat in your gut and chest, is to loose weight in general. You dont get to control were you lose the weight, thats up to your brain to decide which fatty tissue deposits need using up first. (remember fat is just the body storing energy for a rainy day)
Right. so you understand that you want to lose "fat" from your chest and stomach. How? Cardio. Cardio is the proccess of making your cardio-vascular system (your heart and lungs) work harder and use up engery. So HIIT (which i explained before) is a really quick CARDIO proccess and UBER effective. it only takes around 10-15 to complete and thats the WHOLE workout - over. Yet the effects stay in your body for up to 38hours later (your metabolism burns food and "junk" faster, for longer).

So do this twice (unless your keen, then try 3) times a week. Promise you'll see that fat slip off your chest in no time. Its a lot easier than it sounds. and for diet?
JUST EAT HEALTHILY AND EAT SMALLER PORTIONS, BUT MORE OF THEM THROUGHOUT THE DAY - 6-7 meals
Your gunna do really well mate.

Push ups, Sit ups (good for your gut i think), and that crouching thing with your legs. I forgot what they're called. But eat a good, healthy diet and kudos again for motivating yourself.

for losing weight my best advice would be to do cardio, go for a jog or ride a bike

drink plenty of water and avoid soft drinks and junk food

if you really want to lose weight on your chest, avoid lifting heavy weights while bench pressing, in fact avoid any heavy lifting

more repititions and less sets
