Teenage Fat Loss

BCS ADRENALINE · Post by **BCS ADRENALINE** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 11:00 pm

Well I have gone down about 40 pounds, and I have about 20 more to go, and here lies dilemma, I can feel a six pack under a small layer of fat, among other muscle areas, and furthermore i would just like to be rid of it. I have followed a strict eating schedule and workout, but it just won't budge. This makes me wonder, will the body of a sixteen year old hold onto fat because it is needed, or is it some other problem.

I eat 5 meals a day in 2 hour spans, all which contain a protein, complex carb, fruit, and veggie, and I do cardio 5 days a week, 3 days-45 minutes on Elliptical machine, 2 days-Sprinting

Any input would help A LOT

Thanks

are wts in there somewhere?? your body is used to what yuor doing so you can either:

1 - do something xcompletely different

or

2 - maintain where you are for 4 - 6 weeks than start again

i would go for option 2 than 1

Well I have been doing it for a while, and I used to do weights, I just haven't been able to find weight routines that work for me.

Well how does this sound?
3 days full body workout
Mon/Wed/Fri- 3 sets
Pull Ups: 15 Reps...add wt and do 10 reps per set
Push Ups: 25 Reps...add wt or use a harder variation (diamond, feet elevated, handstand etc) for 10 reps/set
Dips: 6 Reps
Lunges: 30 Reps Each Leg...maybe change to lunge jumps for 10 reps each leg/set
Squats: 35 Reps...try pistols you'll struggle which is good but put before jump lunges
Box Jumps: 20 Reps
Crunches While Lifting Legs to Elbows: 25 Reps...i don't give anyone crunches...i would add some glute activation here such as supine bridges, clams, mini band side steps or bird dogs
Lying Leg Raises: 15 Reps...add wt for 10 reps/set
Oblique Crunches: 25 Reps each Side...same as above...i would add a stabilsiation core exercise such as prone ab braces

Hey, sounds pretty good, I especially like the idea of dropping a few reps and increasing the intensity in later sets. I have also been wanting to begin a core training regimen rather than typical ab work and routine exercise. Thanks swanso.

try dragon flags for core than good one's they are...start off lowering down only though then add the other half when you can
