Hi, i'm 15 year old male who he just started working out. Just wondering what age did you guys start working out?

Also as being 15 i cant go to machines in the gym so ive been thinking. As i play alot of football ( soccer where you are mabye ) i might just concentrate on my diet.

So you guy think i should just wait till mabye late 16 till i do the weights and just concentrate on my cardio and diet to tone up a bit?

thanks guys Laughing

a bit more than one year ago, at 17.

Before this I was in Ultimate Fighting and Boxing but nothing really really serious.

Well like how do you define working out? I have been doing it the right way for about 7 months now. I have been lifting weights for 4 years now though.

I started working out at 21 and it wasn't until right now, at 35, that I saw tremendous muscle gains. So it took me a while until I figured out what was really good training and what wasn't.

Take advantage of this time in your life. You grow like crazy when you're 16-18. I don't see anything wrong with beginning a sound weight training program that puts on serious size.

I worked out until 18 and then stopped. What a life-altering mistake that was! Now here I am, 34 fat and having to start all over again.

I started at 14 till 18, blew out my shoulders (poor form, wrong excercises, etc. etc. etc.)

34 and starting over (boo hoo all those lost years lol)

body weight excercises to start as swanso said, push-ups, pull-ups, dips, skipping, swimming, squats and lunges, inverted rows, jogging, stairs in your apt. complex (if you're in one). Get these going with control and good form, before you know it you'll be 16 and in the weight room.

Also, diet, start now to eat right!

Cheers!
