How to get fit for summer?

I want to get fit for summer, and hockey.?

  • Im 16, and I'm not fat, but I'm not fit, and I want to have like a summer body for the summer because I'm very insecure. Is there any tips/workouts that I don't have to pay for that I could use for the next few months before summer starts? I don't need anything drastic, just something I can do for a couple of hours every day. Also, I'm a goalie for ice hockey, and I'm joining the Varcity team as of my softmore year. So could anyone give me tips on leg workouts, core workouts, and arm work outs? Thanks!!

    first off, thats awesome! i love ice hockey, and especially goalies! haha my fave in the nhl is the devil's martin brodeur, and in the ahl its the penguin's brad theissen :D try to get moving between 30-60 minutes a day, or 60 minutes every other day, or 5-6 times a week. do cardio to torch calories and burn fat, so activities like power walking, jogging, running, biking, swimming, elliptical, etc. you can also get some really great workout dvds (whatever youre interested in- kickboxing, dance, etc.) you can get some great dvds at walmart for only like $9 as for a diet plan, eating plenty of fruits and veggies is a good start. cut out all junk food, soda, and "empty calories" (foods with high calorie counts but very low in nutrition). eating oatmeal or a serving of cold cereal with reduced fat milk is a good breakfast option. lunches that have protein- so chicken with vegetables, or tofu stir fry is a good midday option to help ward off hunger (protein does that). dinners should be the lowest calorie meal of the day, so a salad with a small portion of chicken or a small side of pasta with vegetables and tomato sauce are great options. make sure to keep all your portions small. and try to have two (under 150 calorie) snacks each day. greek yogurt, 100 calorie packs, and fruit are all super options.
