Question Ok, so I'm 6'1" and 166 lbs. And the thing is I used to weigh 185 when i was working out, but now i don't have access to a gym because I'm only 16 and my mother cant afford to pay for a monthly pass. So i was wondering if there was a routine you could find for me or set up of me of exercises that will help me build muscle and lose weight. I would like stress on the abs and oblique and any visuals of oblique exercises would be appreciated. ThAnK YoU! =)
Answer Michael,
Does your school have a gym you can use? My son's school does and you don't have to be an athlete to use it. If that doesn't work then look at doing body weight stuff.
First walking is good, if you have a dog, he will love you.
Then you can do push ups, pull ups, crunches with a twist for the obliques too. If you have little dumbells 10, 12 or 15 lbs you can do shoulder press, side raises, bicep curl, tricep kick back or tricep press. Squats against the wall is good too. We call them wall sits. Hold a weight in your lap as you get better and stay there for 3 minutes. feel that burn!!!
I think the school should work out for you. Try that!
Let me know if you have any workout stuff at home and I can add to this.
Thanks, Karen
