Exercises and Healthy Eating for teenagers?

Question by William: Exercises and Healthy Eating for teenagers?
Hi guys,
Hey, for you teens and kids reading my article, doesn’t it feel great being out of school… FINALLY? Summer Break is here. πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

Ok, back to the topic.
I was wondering what workouts can I do to lose weight? Mainly around the belly and chest. And what order should I do my exercises in? Example: cardio, strength….etc. And I don’t have access to a gym that I could go to (since I don’t have transportation) and my parents wouldn’t let me go anyway, so forget the gym. πŸ˜€
At home, I have weights that I can lift. I can jump rope, which I like, NOT LOVE. I can go biking, but I don’t really like the summer heat, (it’s like 96+ degrees at my place :o) but I guess I just have to get use to it if you guys force me lol. And the last cardio workout I actually enjoy doing is swimming, but I can only go on weekends since I don’t have transportation on weekdays and the pool is like a mile away from my neighborhood. Can you guys also like make a routine for me to do like, Monday I do this, Tuesday I do that… that kinda stuff, oh yeah can you guys also suggest and workouts/exercises I can do also that focuses mainly on my chest and belly?

Eating
I stay home by myself over the summer, my parents are at work. So, I can’t have anyone to buy me food to eat during breakfast and lunch time. Can you guys suggest and foods I can make by myself at home? (I like only have ham, cheese, eggs, bagels, cream cheese, orange, apple, and grape in the refrigerator. In the closet, I have ramen noodles, cereal, granola bars. And in the freezer I don’t have anything I could eat.) Or any healthy frozen food I could buy on the weekend to eat on weekday? Oh yeah, if you guys know any healthy recipes I could make, could you share it with me? For breakfast and lunch.

Here are some tips that will help you reach your goal!
1.stock up on fruits and vegetables– those have very few calories and DO taste good!
2.Drink water instead of soda or juice.
3.Try to eat whole wheat and potatoes. Those will keep your hunger at bay and not make you crave foods. Oh! But if you DO find yourself craving foods, have a small portion of it, don’t try to avoid it completely, because the craving will only get stronger.
4.make sure to pay attention to portion sizes too. it helps if you portion it out into a bowl that way you don’t find your self eating too much at once. or even portion out your snacks a week in advance so you don’t over eat.
5.you should record what you eat in a journal. calculate the total number of calories you eat per day and determine if there is any junk you can cut out.
6.to lose weight you might want to eat around 1500-2000 calories per day. DO NOT EAT LESS THAN 1000 CALORIES PER DAY!!!!!! Eating less than 1000 calories can actually cause your body to gain weight.
7.Eating healthy low calorie meals with LOTS of exercise will help you lose weight! aerobic exercise such as running, swimming, biking, or gymnastics is a great way to loose weight as well!
8.Get motivated! If ever you find your self not wanting to get up and go exercise, tell your self to get up and do it. Motivate yourself by thinking about how good you will look/feel if you just get up and do it!
9.another motivational tip, once a week, take a day off and reward your self with something special like your favorite restaurant or something sweet like dessert!
10.Don’t be afraid to drink tea, unsweetened tea has 0 calories and is full of antioxidants that will actually help you lose weight. There are also sweeteners such as Truvia that contain 0 calories and are good to add to tea if you like it sweet! πŸ˜€

REMEMBER: to lose weight you need to have a good diet AND exercise program having only one will not do you as much good as having both! πŸ˜€

this is a very easy plan to follow! as long as you stick to it! and don’t give up! πŸ˜€

Good Luck!
