Taking weights as an elective...I really need to get in shape.

[amorelerose]

I'm seventeen and I really need to get in shape. I don't have time to go to the gym after school so I figured Id take weights because It'll be required for a grade So Id be forced to work out, Yeah! well, my teacher, it turns out, doesn't care if you work out or you don't. And I'm the only girl in that class. I need some help on what to do! background: I'm in musical theatre so I need to be fit in order to get roles. I did cheer for two years and softball for one and I ride horses competatively. (I think that's spelled wrong but whatever) I do, however, have a stress fracture in my right foot and have loose ligaments for my ribcage, so my ribheads pop out of place frequently. Also, my school is poor so we have NO machines. we have dumbells, bench press areas, and stuff for deadlifts. I go to class for 50 min. 3 days a week and on the last day we go for 90 min. Please help me figure out a good routine! Also, kind of nasty but I sweat. A lot. and I don't have time to shower after and every other week it is not my last class of the day. So, yeah. Help please

If you have a smartphone which you problay you do then their are apps that show you over a thousand exercises for each muscle( E.X. Full fitness and fitness buddy are good apps)... But if youwanna lose weight then that requires cardio workouts like treadmills and stuff..I say join a sport... I don't know about your Skool but in mine you just join the team because girls aren't into sports from where I live and the Skools girls teams uually need a bigger roster.

if you'd like to get thin and tone up, try running on the treadmills... oh right, you probably don't have those. Then just run on the track field. Weights is for adding more muscle.

Work primarily on cardio. For your sweat problem, bring a "workout shirt" and wear deodorant. That should help.

Machines are sh*t.

Look up the starting strength routine.

Are there power racks or squat racks?

If not I suspect some of the guys will help you put the barbell on your back.

3 days a week with that much time is more then enough.
