Yeah, I guess 100 reps of lunges took too long to see even the slightest result in case. I'll switch to 3 sets of 12 reps with 5 pound dumbells instead.

Don't watse your time doing those Lunges with 100 reps. Use heavier weight and do Regular ones with about a 10-12 rep intensity. Also Military Press is mostly a Torso exercise the pressing movement will hit the Arms, but ideally, don't use it as an Arm exercise, as it really isn't. Is doing 100 rep...

I'm wondering the same thing myself. A little worried lifting weights would stunt growth as well.

Bossman, Thanks :). I actually began doing lunges last year but I guess it didn't take as much effect as I would have wanted it to so I guess take time to see results since I recently changed eating habits and because of the weight of the dumbells. Recently I've been doing bicep curls and squats. Wo...

sameey70, I tried eating 1 cup of cereals with 250ml of milk everynight (oatmeal for breakfast and meat and rice for lunch) but seemed to have gained weight. I think it's because sugar intake was too much (I did this for 4 days straight). What exercise would you recommend? Would weight training be o...

Wow, thanks bossman. I really appreciate the advice. I didn't think I'd get a meal plan laid out already. What exactly is Myoplex drink? I'm not so familiar with it. Does eating 6 small meals work out for everybody? I mean, for every body type? What if I wasn't hungry after lunch? Would I still have...

Lose weight and Tone (16 year old)

Hi, I'm 16 years old, 5'1 and 115 pounds (female). I'd really like to lose 10-15 pounds and tone body (both upper and lower). I'd really like to work on lower body and tone it especially legs as well as butt since these are trouble spots and when when I gain weight it usually goes to lower body :D ....
