What's the best kind of fitness program for a 14-year-old?
I plan on losing 25 pounds, with my current weight being 155 and my height being '5"4 1/2. For days, I've been trying to find a fitness program that will work with teenagers like me, but have been unsuccessful. Do you know of a program that I can use to help me lose weight?What's the best kind of fitness program for a 14-year-old?First, your diet should consist of regular meals (eat breakfast). Also, cut out things like soda, coffee, chips, large desserts. Try to get your carbs (you need carbs) from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Proteins should be lean meats like chicken, turkey, and any red meat except ground beef or brisket. Second, I would add strength training to your regimen. Your body only burns calories for around 30 min after a cardio workout but your body burns calories 24-48 hours after a strength workout while your body repairs itself. There are tons of books where you can find a good weightlifting/conditioning routine. Since you are striving for endurance, I recommend doing lots of slow repetitions.What's the best kind of fitness program for a 14-year-old?Try yoga or karate...they are both great fun...
