How to Begin
Choose an activity that you enjoy. The best exercise for you is the one you'll actually do, not the one you think you should do. Walking is a great place to start since it doesn't require special equipment and you can do it anywhere, but you can try any activity that involves some type of continuous movement like cycling, swimming, running, aerobics, rowing, stairclimbing, etc.
Start with 2 or 3 days of your chosen activity a week with a rest day between workouts.
Begin with a 5-10 minute warm up of light cardio to gradually increase heart rate.
Increase your pace and intensity to slightly harder than comfortable (about a Level 5 or 6 on the Perceived Exertion Scale or you can use Target Heart Rate to monitor intensity) and go as long as you comfortably can. Begin where you ARE, not where you want to be. You may only be able to exercise for a few minutes at a time, but that will change quickly if you're consistent.
End each workout with a cool down of light cardio and stretch the muscles you've worked to relax and keep your muscles flexible.
Each week, increase your workout time by a few minutes until you can work continuously for 30 minutes a session.
Don't worry about distance or pace. For the first few weeks, focus on showing up for your workouts and building time. You have plenty of time to work on your speed and distance.
After 4-6 weeks, change your routine by adding another day of exercise, increasing your pace/intensity, adding a new activity and/or increasing the amount of time you exercise.
Well you're 14 years old so I wouldn't recommend doing much with weights as you're too young for that. I would just go with the simple cardio work out. Run, walk, jog, bike, swim whatever it takes. If you started working out with weights and things it may stunt your growth.
join a good gym and have a great desire !!
Start slow. Noone ever hurried weight loss by jumping into it. It only stresses your body. Cut out sodas, fast food and sweets.
Also another good way to help jump start weight loss is to do an internal cleansing. It boosts your energy by cleansing out toxins built up in your body.
Check out Renew Life cleanses or
Nature's Secret Both very good. I do renew life.
start out slow always warm up to it first and drink lots of water.
I started working out to Christie Brinkleys workout
or the striptease workout with carmen electra.
honestly christie brinkley is a good start.
take exercise tapes from someone who looks healthy and try some plain old walking to start. Get an ipod shuffle clip it to your shirt and go hiking walking running whatever. Walk the dog. Use your fireplace as a natural stepper.
Find a video that you think will be fun not boring to you. Richard Simmons is a riot and his videos are a lot of fun. Actually anything that gets you moving will be excersize, like jazzy dance videos or the like.
Find someone in a gym that's a bodybuilder, ask them what they do. Train with them if you can, and do what they do.
just try something simple, like jogging or running or try a sport?
