   go to

   maybe you want to read this:

   I advise following:

   Answer following: 1.- Do you want to have a hard, lean body? Or 2.- Do you want to be skinny with wobbly bits here and there (and see them grow into respectable (and frightening) love handles as time passes by)?

   I know a girl: 5’5 – 140 lbs – size 2.
   I know another girl who is 5’5 – 140 lbs – size 9
   The difference: one is overweight and doesn’t exercise; the other one is a girl who exercises.

   There is no fast, easy, miraculous way to lose weight. And whoever tells you otherwise, is lying.

   It’s about the right time to start getting healthy habits (if you don’t acquire them at a young age, chances are you won’t be missing them later). I, for one, would start running. It doesn’t cost money and you will burn fat.

   Maybe you also want to know that you don’t want to lose muscle (which is a lot heavier than fat, but compact and, therefore, makes your body look lean and hard). You want to lose fat.

   In order to lose 1lbs of fat, you have to burn 3500 calories. If you diet with no exercise, you will not only lose fat, but also muscle. Muscle, on the other hand, is what makes your metabolism fast. So, if you lose muscle, you slow down your metabolism. When you gain weight (and, believe me, you will gain weight) you will gain more fat than muscle (which you would only gain if you exercise).

   The best thing to do, at your young age, is resistance training. Check following links: Remember: YOU WON’T BULK UP (like guys do) BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE a guy’s level of TESTOSTERONE (masculine hormone)!!!

   BTW, EXERCISE CONTROLS YOUR HUNGER. You should also eat 6 small meals a day; one every 2.5 (maximum 3) hrs.!!! This will control your sugar levels, therefore, you won’t be binging!!!

   It is very important that you understand: it’s not about starving your body! Your body NEEDS food, but good-quality-food! Good-quality-food it’s important for your muscles!!! If you don’t have a balanced diet and you over-exercise, you will lose precious fat-burning muscle!!!! You can check a healthy nutritious diet @!!!

   Remember, you should exercise at least 1 hr/day, 5 days/week, and rest 2 full days so your muscles can recover and grow. Use 3 days to work on your muscles and 2 for cardio. Always let 1 day between your muscle’s workout.

   Another tip: DON’T weigh yourself. You should never trust a scale, if you want to lose fat, but not muscle (your fat burning machine). Instead, keep track of how your pants fit, and measure your weigh loss by how smaller you’re getting according to the sizes you’re leaving behind!

   If you have money, I would invest it on 2 workout programs:
   1.- P90X
   2. Chalean Extreme

   Both amazing, believe me!!! And if you do them consistently, you’ll look great!!! My daughter is almost as ripped as she wants to be. (I still have a lot to do, but the point is: GREAT!)

   hmmm try this workout

   Monday – 10min cardio, chest, tricept , abs
   Tuesday – 10min cardio , back , bicepts
   wedsday – 10min cardio, shoulders , abs
   thursday – 10min cardio, Legs ( whole lower body )
   fri sat sun – rest or cardio do what ever you desire

   you can workout your abs everyday if u want. but each body part you work out should have at least 4 workouts of 4 sets each. u should do 5 – 10 min cardio for your body to warm up… and after your workouts you can throw in more cardio if u want.
