14 Year old, looking to lose weight and gain muscle.

Astro · Post by **Astro** » Mon May 12, 2008 6:27 pm

Hello All,

I'm 14 years old, I weigh about 150lbs. I'd like to lose around 10-20lbs over the summer, or at least before the year ends. I do not currently have any workout routine, nor access to a gym (though if it is absolutely necessary I can most likely get one). I do have a set of dumbells and an exercise ball. I would really like to get rid of the flab on chest mainly.

Can anyone supply me with a routine that would make this happen by the start of the school year?

Thanks.

Unless you feel like spending a ton of $$$ on equipment I would get gym membership.

Go to the nutrition section and read "read before posting" by swans0.

Do you have lifting experience?

also since your only 14 i think some of that could be baby fat. lol no offense but, you're in what? 7th? 8th grade? You're still extremely young. I don't think you need to concentrate on loosing weight. you will fill out more at you go through puberty.

If you're female, then you should be okay to lose 10-20lbs, if you're , then don't try to lose, you're not overweight, you just need to reshape your body.

Sorry for both descriptions, I didn't see any mention of gender.

I'm , sorry for the lack of info. What do you mean by reshape?

By reshape I mean change the ratio of Fat to Muscle, so you add a bit more muscle, and attempt to trim some Fat off, so you get a leaner and healthier end result.

A good diet and muscle building activity, helps to re-design the human form well.

Ahh

Are there any programs you would recommend? Keeping in mind that I would love to see some results by the end of the summer.

Thanks Again
