White Knight April 6, 2004 Share White Knight Member April 6, 2004 You don't wanna hear it but you need to hear it You're too young to work out. You can cause permenant life changing injury to yourself smarty. But, if your problem is that you have a beer belly type thing (hopefully not from beer) then I sugguest you start jogging/running or some other type of Aerobic sport. Lifting weights not really great at losing fat, its builds muscle. If you wanna loose the pudge, then you need to do something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gOOters April 6, 2004 Share gOOters Member April 6, 2004 (edited) Go jog and eat better quality foods. Start doing push-ups and chin ups and deep knee bends for your muscles. This will get you ready for the weights. If you do all of this, by the time you are 16, you will be leaner and stronger than most of your peers. Start hitting the weights when you are 15 or 16.

Playaa April 6, 2004 Share Playaa Member April 6, 2004 yeah, definatly do running and aerobic type things HOWEVER! if done properly he CAN work out and not hurt himself. my best friend was a chubby kid and started working out with his brother when he was 12. By the time he was 15 he could bench press 215lbs. And he wasn't even that large of a guy...just well toned. He was only 5'9" (in fact I think he stopped growing at 5'10") and only about 160lbs. He is 21 now and hasn't worked out in years but his body maintained the general build he PUT into it (he was never a "buff" guy before but now he still looks buff even though he's gained some fatty weight) but then again...I don't really recommend it bukket...just do cardiovascular workouts and be heatlhy...no need to be toned and muscled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Shertown Pimp April 6, 2004 Share Sir Shertown Pimp Member April 6, 2004 I recommend playing a sport or two and only work with your body, for example only sit ups pushups. I am not saying you cant do 15lb weights but right now your body is really in a growing point so I wouldnt do anything except stay active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiffy April 7, 2004 Share Jiffy Member April 7, 2004 running helps mucho amounts. work up to it though, sprints wont help overly much, but long distance will help endurance as well as lose weight. nice steady pace is hard for some people to maintain, i myself hate it, i feel like i need to sprint all the time . cardio is great. for the belly, do jacks, as well as sit ups. if you want a good arm strengthener, attempt to do handstand pushups! up against a wall, its only your own body weight you are pushing up. Good good stuff. eh, what do i know...only thing i do is play soccer 5 months a year, and sit on my arse the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBugs April 8, 2004 Share TheBugs Member April 8, 2004 Mountain Biking works your whole arms (more than you think), both legs (of course) and gets you into shape very fast. I went basiclly a whole year without doing much of anything, then i got int mtn biking went just about everyweekenf between 10-20 miles for about 2 months and i never felt better. Ive been going every chance ive had since and its amazing how when i started steep trails i could never get up before i can now do them without thinking. Of course this only works it you have nice trails threw the woods and stuff, or u could take up road biking ( ) just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDO April 8, 2004 Share Guest PDO Guests April 8, 2004 I've waited till I'm 16 (actually still waiting till Summer, just because of a price deal..) to start weights. Just stay active so you're pretty lean then start some weights after that. Most important thing is diet.... watch out for things like Fries and Coke.

appalachian_fox April 14, 2004 Share appalachian_fox Member April 14, 2004 I feel it would be a travesty not to mention hiking. Doesn't need to be anything fancy, it gets your body used to walking places (and daily running, which is a plus). The problem is it's a gateway hobby...It could lead to backpacking, camping and other outdoorsy things. An added plus: Backpacking does a lot of great leg work, and I don't think it'll result in any long-term damage (Please correct me if I'm wrong). Scouts was one of the greatest things for me -- Hiking did a lot. Of course, that requires a (minimum of 1) buddy who knows something about hiking (Scouts worked for me -- btw, never hike alone), hiking trails (big mountains are perfect) and a dedicated half-day at minimum (time...). However, I think it'd be great for a kid your age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
