Expert: Karen Sullivan - 11/2/2009
Question I'm 14 y/o, 5'5 and 126 poundss.
I've never worked out before, but i believe that this would be a good time to start since lately I've been feeling more and more uncomfortable about my body, & its beginning to influence my everday life =|
I've even measured my body fat percentage online, and it came out to be unhealthily high =\
How much exercise do i need to get (and maintain later on) to being about 110 pounds? What do my calories burned/intake need to be in order to achieve this? (any other information about this would be greatly appreciated)
thanks =]
Answer Lynn,
The first thing I need to tell you is that you have to keep eating. don't stop eating because you want to lose weight. Make better choices about what you eat. Veggies and fruit and lean meats like fish and chicken are good. Drink lots of water. Start with walking at least 3x a week. The key is the food! If you want to tell me what kinds of things you eat I will be glad to go over it with you.
This web site has exercises you can do at home. http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercise_demos.asp?exercise_type=upper
Write back and let me know if I can help more.
Karen
