If I get terms/concepts wrong please excuse me I'm not experienced at all in the technical part of working out.

I'm about 130 pounds and 5'7". My arms and chest are starting to fill out according to my older friends (i'm 16) but my stomach is starting to get nasty. I can pinch a lot of it. I really want to work on losing it, bulking isn't really a concern. After, or during, I lose the developing belly fat I want to get really in shape and fit (right now I'm not at all) and be relatively healthy. Maybe then I will work on getting a six pack and better chest muscles (but they are supposedly good, I can't tell) anyway this is not what I am trying to do now. I also will be having access to a gym possibly.

I quit fast food (or all junk food for that matter) last saturday for good. I had before but it never worked and this time its for an actual reason. Before I used to eat in n out about 5 or 6 times a week (the only type of fast food I eat but its still bad) I guess I'll eat home from now on or at school (not exactly the best food). I read that 5 meals a day is best. I can eat before 7:30, at 10, 11:30, and anytime after 4. Do any of the meals actually need to be anything specific? I'd like to bring my own food to school but I don't have enough time in the morning to prepare the 2 meals and breakfast. I'm just not too financially well off so anything healthy but cheap to prepare is the best. I also don't want to take any pills for supplements because they are a little pricey and a bit too much "unnatural"

I have access to a weight room on wednesdays for about 15 minuets or less and I have access to a track everyday of the week. I also have a beach cruiser bike that I would like incorporated into my exercise. I can't run a mile (I can run 1 lap in less than 1:30 and then I'm wiped out almost) and the most I can do is 3 laps with some walking before I get light headed (maybe its because I only eat twice a day right now and after my running time). The past two weeks I've done semi-daily push ups and sit up which I took from struggling to do 10 in a session to 40 straight each in a week but I got bored of it since because of my progress into the high hundreds per session it got boring.

I have about 1-3 hours everyday except tuesday to exercise and I don't have any weights at home. All the exercise equipment I have is a pair of new balance shoes and a beach cruiser. I usually take my cruiser out for a 5.6 bile ride that takes about 40 minuets almost everyday.


I also do some of those ab tightening things randomly when I remember about them. Sometimes when I'm just standing waiting for something I'd tighten my abs and hold it then release and repeat. Does those help?

So any help on developing a routine and a good diet is great.

Thanks

- for gut go to diet section and read "read before posting.."
- prepare the night before, don't be lazy
- you don't need pills anyway
- why do you need to run a mile?
- so how long and often can you train with wts and on what days???

[cowman809]

my friends run on tuesdays so sometimes i go with them. I have wts on wednesday and maybe thursday for 10-20 minuets.

I didn't really understand a lot of the stuff going on in "read before posting" thats why i posted this. I'm not really familiar with any of this.

[swanso5]

it would be better if you could do more wts and spaced further apart...can we???

it's not that hard really, just go through the food part which equates to this in the end

breakfast as soon as you get up - fruit, carbs, protein
2 - fruit, protein
all other meals are protein, veg and a post training meal needs to be inserted wherever it is that you may train...6 meals at least/day
