Question: Trying to get fit as a teenager.?

(Posted by: Daniel on 2010-02-04 02:14:29)

I am 14 and turning 15 this year, I want to have abs and no flabby parts but im just not commited enough to do an ab routine every day or every second day (I have tried lots of different routines). I walk every day and try to lay off the fatty foods, a lot of the time I miss breakfast though, atleast once a week I get a lunch from the canteen which is usually pizza and chocolate milk... I also did weights for a while on my biceps and triceps but couldn't keep that up. There is just way too many other things in my life to worry about then to keep doing an ab and/ or arm exercise routine every second day. Walking is fine for me though because I can do that in the morning or at night after tea. I really don't know what to do. Any suggestions for me to have a fitter life and maybe an easier way to abs... By the way I think i might have abs under the small layer of fat I have on my stomach but just isn't showing.

Its really important to eat breakfast as it kick starts your metabolism for the day. You should have something like a bowl of bran flakes with skim milk and a banana and a glass of fruit juice. For lunch take a packed lunch, like a tuna salad sandwich on wholemeal bread and an apple. Try and exercise for 30 minutes 5 times per well to stay in shape and do some strength training like crunches and push ups and squats to build and tone muscle. Hope this helps.
