I want to know what is the best workout equipment to get abs before the summer starts (may or june) since i have an important event and i don’t want my belly to jiggle.
Thank You!
Running shoes (to help lose the fat around your belly) + a stability ball (for roll-outs) and/or pull-up bar (so you can hang to do reverse crunches/knee lifts). Beyond that, the simple "plank" (which doesn’t require any equipment) is good.
I am 14 years old and have an end of the year pool party. I am in pretty good shape, but because I am not able to workout like I once could I want to know how I can workout without any equipment.
Pushups, setups, jogging, etc. Being in shape I’m pretty sure you know what will build what part of your body. Look around and use your imagination.
I’m looking for something I can do cardio.. treadmill or elliptical?
or what ? suggestions please. looking to get something to benefit me well has a birthday present
and it’s difficult to diet when my family isn’t cooperative and willing to get a better selection of healthier foods. Like they just don’t care, like I can work around the junk cause theres just more junk how can I approach this with my mom ?
Want something that will cost you less than a treadmill or elliptical and help you with strength training as well as cardio? Not only that it will take up so little room you wont even know its there when you arent using it.
check this out, and no im not affiliated with them, i just use the site and the product and love it.
www.liveexercise.com. The site and workouts are free. you could go to walmart and get bands but the ones they sell are much better. What you would do there is up to you. I want you to look at the workouts so you can see how versatile training this way is.
Alright, as far as the food goes, you may have to be in there when say your mom is cooking, ask for a foreman grill. If mom is making cheesy hamburger fat/calorie bomb, ask her for enough hamburger that you can cook one on your grill. Eat it with a wholegrain bun and some veggies. Just an example. Sometimes you just have to take the initiative and cook for yourself alone. I have to do it, sometimes i can get the family to eat what im eating and i make enough for everyone.
Ask your mom for more veggies. go with her shopping and try to get her to buy some healthy things for you. maybe if your eating and exercise start producing good results for you, you can get the rest of the family involved.

Ive tried a bunch of different workout equipments, but I never stick with anything because it becomes boring. Does anybody have advice on what they use. I need some thing that is fun and easy to use, so that i stick with it. I am not looking to gain muscles or anything, I just want to stay slim. I like working out at home and would not want to spend longer then 30 minutes a day.
I got recommended to get a fitryo total bar, so I have been using that for my abs and arms. It doesn’t get boring because you can pretty much make up your workout as you go along. I got the link for it below
I want to start working out my arms and arms but I can’t find any good workouts. I don’t have any workout equipment, weights, etc. and I don’t plan on buying any. Can you please give me some workouts that aren’t just crunches/sit-ups or push-ups. Can you also include how many sets, how many are in a set, and an explanation if you can. Thank You.
I ment to say Abs and Arms. Sorry for the confusion.
Planks are great! Google image it to see what it looks like, I know it sounds simple but planks are really good. If you can do pressups, even on the knees to start with:
45sec-1min plank on feet
5 pressups on knees or feet
3 mins of skipping rope to get cardio going
10 burpes with a small jump when standing up
45sec -1min plank on feet, aim for 1min and drop to knees when tired
5 pressups on knees or feet
10 burpes with a small jump when standing up
If you repeat similar things, the idea is you want to exhaust yourself without getting sore and not puffed so mixing up the above so you are puffed and are using arms a lot you will find that burpes and pressups don’t usually work the core too much, but once you throw in 50 situps or a 1min plank and then go straight down into pressups you will be able to work the arms and continue to work the abs for longer. I have read that planks are just as useful as hundreds of situps.
So yeah is there any hard workouts that is very effective that can help me build muscle. I don’t have any equipment. No weights or a pull up bar. I got nothing.
The Prison Workout: A Total Body Exercise Routine
Some prison inmates
have nothing but a sink, a toilet, their bed, and a few square feet of
space at their disposal. They need an exercise routine that can be
done in a confined space without equipment. The "Prison Workout,"
which was nicknamed by some people who saw prisoners without access to
weights doing it, is designed to develop strength, endurance, speed,
agility, and balance. It also produces gains in muscle, losses in body
fat, and plenty of stamina. It is a total body and cardio workout. The
Prison Workout consists of one classic exercise, the "burpee." This
exercise works your chest, arms, front deltoids, thighs and abs. The
burpee is a six-count exercise:
1) Stand with your feet shoulder width
apart and your hands raised over your head. Then squat down and place
your palms on the floor by your feet.
2) Kick both of your legs back so that you’re in push-up position.
3) Bend your elbows and lower your
body until your chest touches the floor.
4) Push yourself back up.
5) At the end of the push-up, quickly pull both knees into your chest
while keeping your hands on the floor. You’re jumping back into the
squat position of step one.
6) Stand straight up by straightening your
legs and throwing your hands in the air over your your head. You’re
now in the position that you started in. You can make the burpee more
advanced and increase the explosive power in your legs by jumping into
the air as you stand up. The Prison Workout is done in descending
sets. For example, begin by doing 20 burpees without stopping. Rest 30
seconds, and then do 19 burpees without stopping. Rest 30 seconds and
do 18 burpees. Continue doing descending sets until you get down to a
final set of 1 burpee. That makes a total of 210 burpees. For most
people, 20 sets will be too much to start with. In that case, pick a
lower number of sets like 15 or 10 or even fewer for your first
workout. Then add a set every 1-2 weeks until you reach your goal. In
prison, doing 20 descending sets without stopping is the minimum to be
considered a "man." If you can do 25 sets, you’re considered to be
pretty tough, and, if you can do 30 sets, you’re considered a "stud."
If you’re doing other exercises in addition to this workout, do your
burpee workout 3 times per week on cardio days. If some of you who’ve
read this far are thinking to yourselves, "This Prison Workout is too
easy. I’m looking for a man’s workout," try one of these advanced
variations of the basic burpee.
1) If you have access to pull-up bars,
at step 6, jump up and do a pull-up. That will add 210 or more
pull-ups to the workout.
2) Place dumbbells on the floor.
Use the dumbbells as push-up bars for steps 1-5. At step 6, clean the
dumbbells to your shoulders, press them overhead, and then set them
back down for the next repetition. In other words, add an overhead
press to each burpee. Be sure to use the solid, hexagonal dumbbells
rather than the adjustable kind. By itself, the Prison
Workout will strip fat from your body, add muscle, and build stamina.
Alternate it with a weight training routine, and you may be mistaken
for a Greek god, or, at least, for an ex-convict. If you can follow
simple instructions, then you can build a HEALTHY, HIGH-PERFORMANCE,
ATTRACTIVE body in the comfort of your own home using ONLY bodyweight
exercises.

I need to lose a little weight on my belly, but I tend to get really bad neck pains when I do sit-ups. I don’t have any workout machines or anything. I just need a few workouts or something to tone my stomach area.
Cheers! : )
Try beginners Pilate’s. they usually have different positions depending on a certain body pain (i.e knees, back..)
also, if your looking to slim down your midsection, try staying away from foods that are high in sodium, as it tends to retain water. That said, drinking a lot of water helps flush out any excess sodium and leaves you feeling lighter too.
also, don’t forget to up your cardio and lift some weights for total body conditioning!
Hope this helps!
going to be joining a gym soon. I was wondering what kind of equipment they offer at an average gym thats good for ab workouts??
first you dont need a gym to get a great ab workout.
but, since you asked
a decline bench with foot locks – killer
a wheel with an axle through the middle. Get on your knees – grab teh axle and push out as far a you can- then come back.
kneel in front of a cable machine – cable up high- pull the handle to your head – and then curl from the hip until your head touches the floor.
Now add a coule of planks and your there.
