Workout routine for a teenage girl??

[Anonymous]

I'm 16 and I wanna lose weight but also get a nice bigger butt and have muscle tone in my tummy but not abs. Thx! Also do you think insanity workout is bad for teens.

A good work-out routine is the following:

30 Jumping Jacks

5 Pushups

25 High Knees

7 Burpees

10 Crunches

7 Squats

5 Pushups

10 Crunches

5 Pushups

7 Squats

30 Jumping Jacks

1 Minute Wall Sit

5 Pushups

25 High knees

Repeat 3-5 times

I found it on the net and it's pretty easy to follow (except for those damn pushups :P :P).

The good thing is that you can do it alone, at home, with no cost.

Running is also veeeery good for fat loss and toning.

If you can spend some money though, you can to go to the gym/consult a personal trainer.

*Another fun way to exercise is by playing "Just Dance" on Wii. That is, of course, if you have a Wii console. :P

Good luck and don't strain your body too much.

Can this be done everyday?:)

I forgot to mention, that before you start any physical activity you should get a physical examination. This is very important!

Now to answer your question:

I guess you can, but that depends on your own body. I suggest you start doing this 3-4 times a week and you can repeat more often as you get more fit and strong.

Be careful though, if you feel pain or dizziness, STOP immediately.

Also keep in mind that you should keep a healthy diet and drink lots of water.

And wen you said 3-5 times did you mean do intervals or 3-5 times a week

[MrsApple]

3-5 repetitions of the routine each time you work out.

dude you're sixteen. Meals at least three times a day are extremely important, like, you still want your boobs and legs to grow don't you? Insanity is fine as long as you know when to rest, when to stop and not to do it on a daily basis. Do squats for a bigger butt, more cardio and eat as much vegetables as you can. I started when I was sixteen, my daily meal consists of oats or breads for breakfast, a sandwich or rice and fish for dinner and lunch is usually potatoes and vegetables with some kind of carbohydrate.

To have toned stomach, you need to reduce the amount of fat covering it.

Cardio exercises are best, so try running, biking, swimming, even yoga. Good luck!

Ok I had two bball games today can that count for cardio and bball practice. I will still go to the gym but I'm not gonna eat dinner until Saturday.

Since you're going to be skipping dinner, make sure you have a good breakfast and lunch.

Normally skipping a meal isn't healthy, especially for those looking to lose weight. You should try having a light meal for dinner, or at least having a couple other healthy snacks along the day. Just my opinion, if you're already used to that, don't mind me :)

running, crunches, sqauts & sit ups.
