I'm 15 and I just recently got a gym membership close to where I live. I'll be honest with you, I've been overweight all my life. September 2007, I weighed a whopping 175 pounds at the age of 14, I've reduced that to 150 Pounds and I am 15 now. I still am fat (thing is, it may just be me, but I feel fat and I want to lose it, people around tell me that I look fine and that I am at a right weight and size for my age, but I'm 15, around 5"6 and 150 pounds...) Edit: I'm also happy that I am not overweight anymore!
I've only been to the gym three times and I everytime I go out of the gym I feel a major difference. I would warm-up on the bike for about 3 minutes then hit the treadmill. I'd do some moderate HIIT... I'd do a slow walk (4KM/H) for about 3 minutes then do a pretty fast-paced jog (18KM/H) for a minute then go back to my 4KM/H walk for 2 minutes and I'd repeat that. I'd do HIIT for 20 minutes and then hit the weights. I'm a total "newbie" when it comes to Gym terminology, do don't expect me to get everything right. But I'd do a decent workout, mainly working out my triceps, bicep, shoulders & back. I'd do 4 sets of 10-15 reps. My arms feel better and I can already see the muscle kicking in on my biceps after just going to the gym 3 times. I plan to get a normal routine and go to the gym 5 times a week whereas the weekends will be my resting periods.
Now, I've basically explained to you what I do, but I need you to help me. Could anyone possible suggest a nice workout routine that I could follow and that isn't TOO strenous, but I want some results pretty fast and I'm willing to work for them.
Also, I need a diet that I can stick to. To be honest with you, the only reason I lost weight was because I wasn't eating much at all. I'd have a bowl of cereal for breakfast, skip lunch and have perhaps a plate of rice or pasta for dinner. I'd drink tons of water as well.
Meh, well, that's me. (Also, one odd fact: My family doctor said that I would never be able to get a really "lean" look because of my Broad shoulders apparently.) But... yeah.
Thanks in advance.
