Haha, I'd love to see some kid running up and down stairs at a subway.
That's the kind of thing you do to have fun. If you enjoy it, continue, if you don't you don't have to do it. But have fun!!
I'd split your week up like this:
Day 1: Chest and Back, Abs/Core
Day 2: Cardio
Day 3: Shoulders and Arms, abs/Core
Day 4: usually yoga for me, do whatever the heck you enjoy.
Day 5: Legs and Back, abs/core
Day 6: cardio
Day 7: stretch/ rest.
That's for general, all around fitness and wellness. If there's people, students or teachers, in your school gym that has knowledge of workouts in general (or even the "Man with the Dragon Tattoo"), ask them what they do, get some ideas, stuff like that. Even if they'll help you create full workouts. By the sound of it you meant gymnasium? If your school has a weight room, that's what I'm talking about.
You could probably go to the dragon tattoo dude on the cardio days, and go to the school weight room three days a week. Or if he has weights, you can even do strength routines with him and tell him what you want out of a program in specific. He'd probably be willing to help. As long as it isn't costing a ton of money though, in that case, just talk to him and get some ideas what types of exercises you'd like, and stuff like that.

i love to make it to the top of the stares before the people on the escalator do, it is fun
thanks, i will try you scheduled out next week (wondering, how much do you do a day. i will start with what is comfortable for me of course, but it doesn't hurt to ask)
i will ask them then. unfortunately it is just a gym (for basketball and other sports)
my uncle has weights, so i can borrow what he doesn't use. dragon tattoo is a bit to pricey for me, but my dad can help me out
so far though, i am pleased with myself. though i haven't thinned to much, i have definitely seen my arms get stronger
If you're just getting started, especially if you're on your own, 30-45 minutes is perfect. Once you feel comfortable, 45-60 is perfect.
You can do tons of things without a weight room. If you've got gravity you've got a workout. If you can, the best thing to do would be to get a pull up bar, and a resistance band or two. A pullup bar will be about 60$, and resistance bands are cheap. You can get door mounted pullup bars like this:

Different age, ethnicity require different body fat percentage before your abs muscles start to show. You can do 1 million sit ups a day, and actually gain the abs muscles, but it still won't show, since it's hidden underneath all the fat.
(Nov. 01, 2011 3:51 PM)Shabalabadoo Wrote: [ -> ]Well, for "abes", you can't just do 10,000,000 sit ups. You have to have lots of moves, whether sitting, laying, planking, standing, hanging, etc. You also won't see anything until you get to a low body fat. So you also have to have cardio. Do a 20 minute Ab/core routine 2-3 times a week, and 45-60 minute cardio 2 times a week.
As for your shoulders, I really don't recommend trying to get one muscle group bigger. It causes imbalances which is the number one cause of exercise related injuries. You need a complete schedule with all muscle groups.
its weird..i dont eat that much..but my weght easily increased..what i mean..i saw my friends that eat lot more than me..and still can keep their body thin..
i eat like 10 spoon of rice every meal..lol..
i once a work out..but off due to university life (cultural shock and tired), and now coming back..i once have pretty chest and biceps..(still have the shape)
the only i dont have is shoulder and abes..haha
do you guys recommend weightlift/dumbell (correct spelling or not?) in a certain technique?
If you're gaining weight despite not eating much, try working in snacks in between meals(healthy snacks, mind - small salads, yogurt(!!), properly-mixed granola, etc.) - if this doesn't bolster your metabolism and cause it to kick on, then you've got a genetically predisposed problem that you will have to deal with via dieting, excercise, and - depending on the severity of the problem(read: morbid obesity, etc.) - medication.
Weight lifting is overall beneficial, but only if you spread it out and mind your own limits properly.
what type of snacks it suppose to be?
oh yeah..my butt always get blistered while doing sit up..lol..anyway to prevent this?

Re-read my post, I edited in the types of snacks you should look for. Fruits in general are also quite beneficial, though some are worse than others - apples are extremely sugar-packed, for example.
i tried doing sit up on the thing..idk what it is called..you lay on the thing..lock your feet on something..the thing with slanting (certain angle) board with soft mat..i still got blister.. :\ idk if my is too big that it will cause friction always..
EDIT:Maannn..i hate salad...ohh..well..might try consuming fruits instead..and i would vomit for yogurt..
anyway..thanks..gonna schedule working out tables and jogging schedule..XD
throw away the fat first..grr grr

1. It seems like your metabolism rate is a little low. Might want to fix that first. Again, cardio is great to increase your metabolism rate. If you don't have any heart condition, you should push it to 90% heart rate output for each session, 4-5 times a week, short 20 minutes each time. As your weight stabilizes, you can decrease it to 2 times a week. Keep in mind, that metabolism rate will decrease as you get older. It's best to stabilize that when you're still in your prime years, that way, you just need to do simple maintenance as you're older.
2. Weightlifting. Muscles burn fat faster than anything. Personally, I think you should do it. If you do, use the free weight, none of that machine stuff.
3. Blisters. Can't really comment on this. Theoretically, you should not be getting blisters when done on a soft surface. Else, just split the abs exercises, which is the best way anyway. Short crunches for upper abdomen only. Standing crunches for your obliques. Leg raises for your lower abdomen.

NICE!!thanks Uwik..2 and 3 wont be a problem..
but how do i know if i push my heart to 90%?i seldom jog actually..perhaps starting this evening..
as for pushing it to 90%,how long and how far should i jog?
Try it out on a treadmill first, there should be a chart based on your age/weight, and heart rate output. Once you get the hang of the speed your body needs to do to get a 90% heart rate, then go jog/bike/skip rope/swim/etc.
Push yourself each time to get the equivalence of the 90% heart rate. For me personally on the machine, it would be about 155-160 for 15-20 minutes.
Keep in mind though, you know your body better than anyone else. Don't over-exert yourself. Push hard, but of course within limits.
Okay i've got another question: I'm doing exercise regularly and I can see that my look is changing but my weight on the scale hasn't gone down much at all. Is this because i'm not exercising enough or because oh other reasons?
There are 2 basic mass: Lean Body Mass (Muscles, Water, etc) and Fat Mass.
If you exercise, and notice that physically you are getting leaner / bulkier from muscles, yet the weight scale doesnt change much. It's because that you are gaining Muscles Mass, while at the same time losing your Fat Mass, which balance each other out. This is actually a good thing for starting out.
It will more or less remain the same, unless you lift heavier, or burn fat faster, It all depends on the look you want to achieve. Some prefer the bulky Arnold-look, while some prefer the lean Bruce Lee look.

Thanks again Uwik for the advise.. (cancel my jog this evening..my eye got swollen...idk if it is allergy..but i dont eat any seafood this evening..kinda weird..)
Benjohadi, there's also a dumbo-proof way of finding you %HR numbers without a chart. Do 220 minus your age, and that's 100%. Then just find whatever % you want. During the exercise, you can feel your pulse and count for 15s, then times that by 4 and that's what number you're at. If it's in your percent range you're good.
Heart rate monitors do it easily, and some keep a constant reading on. The ones with the constant reading are more expensive (mine is $130!), but you can get a super cheap one for about $50, except that it's not a constant reading.
Heart rate monitors are very useful.
And I have absolutely no idea how you could get blisters on your butt. That's probably hurt a lot.

Ah, the wonders of having a heart condition - I can get one of the fancy monitors for free! 8)
As for blisters on the tuckus, it's probable that he was on a hard or uneven surface and just didn't have the muscular control to smoothly lift, causing him to "scoot" a little bit each time he sat up.
Used to happen to me when I would do them in gym class like 14 years ago.
Naw, my heart condition is managed by a single pill daily, and it's technically more of an overall cardiovascular problem. Chronic Hypertension, to be specific.
Here's some videos i wanted to post a while ago, but never ended up doing:

i would rather do this than using chart..at what range would be it good? (BTW,i'm 19years old..so perhaps with the age,there would be a specific range right?)
and is it more efficient if i just count it for a minute?

LOL..i got the blister somewhere between the line..its not that hurt since if i got it,i will stop the exercise to prevent it getting worse..but " i have to stop the exercise" is the annoying me..but it happens seldom..
sometime..the one explain by hazel happen too..but i would put thin pillow immediately once i feel my butt getting strange friction..XD
To be more specific about the index Shab gave.
< 20 years = 220
21-30 years = 225
30-40 years = 230
Let's see at my age, if I still use the index of 220, I'll risk a heart attack doing the 170 output required after 10 minutes. hahaha.
I need some help here. I have is molar or 'big back(not bang) tooth' that's extremely lose but is hanging on by a thread by some type or gum or flesh. I tried pulling it but that flesh that connecting it hurts and the new tooth is about halfway out now. Its been loose and stuck there from almost the whole year and it contributes to regular bad breath and bleeding so... HEEeLPpP.... so I can I eat fast food

Go to a dentist?
go to the dentist..they know what to do with it..(dig the flesh out..pliers..cutter..perhaps electronic spinning saw)
haha..just go to the dentist..they will help to pull it out in proper way..i dont recommend you to pull it by yourself..
