What is the best way to get into shape for football?

I'm 14 going on 15 and I'm way out of shape how can I get in shape and stay motivated?

  • So I'm 14 going on 15 and I'm really out of shape I've tried getting back into shape but I just can't stay motivated. I have big stomach and "man boobs" I would love to lose that i also have pretty big legs and I want to get rid of all of it. But not only do I want to get in shape and lose fat I want to get stronger but not like a body builder or anything. Do any of you guys have workouts that work good and are easy to do and can be done without a weight bench or any equipment? Would it be worth it to get a gym membership? Have any of you guys used a Bowflex and liked it or would that be worth it? If any of you guys have kinda gone through the same thing what were your workout plans and what did you eat and how did you make yourself not eat other junk foods that hold you back from getting in shape? I know thats a lot of questions but I would greatly appreciate any answers that come back thanks a bunch! I'm about 5'10 and like 230-250 pounds.

your young, sweetie, so you still have a great chance of turning your life and body around and head back on the right track. A gym membership would be a great idea, attending 4 times a week or so would be good. Eat around 6 small meals a day, spring mix salad (not romaine, it is mostly sugar), ask your family not to buy junk food, then you won't be as tempted, eat a lot of tuna and fresh fruit and veggies with no salt or butter added. Focus on the fact that you can loose the weight and you will do so! Good luck!

I recomend joining a sports team or gym. Make friends that have similar goals and be dilligent. Try the track team. You will build muscle lose fat and most are walk on so you dont have to worry about being cut from the team.

Avoid bad food. thats the biggest step. Its hard but just push yourself away from the burgers, sugar, etc. As for the workouts, dont worry about gym membership or anything like that, its all extra and pointless for slimming down. Stick to cardio (running, swimming, anything long and constant) always end your cardio session(everyday by the way) with a large set of crunches. Do these crunches RIGHT after the cardio. As for staying motivated, make short term goals for youself but make them barely impossible to reach. Try as hard as you can to reach them each week but once you do...push it further. If you manage to do this and slim down, people have unbelievable respect for you. I hate seeing overweight people complain because all they have to do is do somthing about it.

What What (In The Butt)

Working out is great, but you also need to address the way you eat. Don't think of it as a diet, though, that is a sure way to fail. Pay attention to fats and calories, and let yourself have a "goodie" sometimes, maybe as a reward - trying to deny yourself completely usually results in overindulgence, and you end up back at square one. Just eliminating soda can make a big difference. I love chocolate, that was the worst for me, but I found that 3 musketeers bars are the lowest in fats & calories, so I go for one or two of those a week, and that was enough to satisfy my craving, especially after I am full on fruits & veggies - I don't have room for that 1/2 bag of oreos anymore, LOL! A great motivator I found was to look at myself naked in a full length mirror every day. We had one in the bathroom, so when I got out of the shower, I would take a good look, and it would be enough to motivate me for the day. One day at a time! If you can join a gym, that's great, but you can get started without it, or any equipment, too. Little things, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator, help, and you can also take brisk walks. Any cardio will help get your heart rate up and help you burn calories faster. Set aside at least 20-30 minutes EVERY day for some type of exercise. It can be almost anything. Take that walk, do some pushups and/or deep knee bends, turn on some music and dance around your room like a madman, mow the yard, whatever, just be active! Work up a sweat!

i used to be 190 and now im 160 ish maybe a lil less. what i did was go out a lot so i couldnt be near food, and i also cut soda, if you drink it a lot youll be surprised how much less calories you get in a day. also while im out i ride my bike a lot so my body burns more calories but i dont eat enough, so it burns fat

first you must know why do you want get in shape and then when you are not motivated enough just remember why do you want to get in shape and that will certanly motivate you

well when i started losing my weight i was 5'6 187.. i started simply drinking water and diet cokes instead of regular coke. I also jog 2 miles with my dad 4 times a week. i am now 5'8 145 and this is what I did. some tips i have for you is eat a healthier cereal, personally i like special K. also dont eat alot after 8 pm. the calories can not be burned when you are sleeping. Try to keep it to 3 meals a day with a good sized snack in between lunch and dinner. Good Luck!
