Well I have decided to lose some weight as I am overweight. I am going to cut back on rs a ton and only play after exercising or at night. I am also going to eat healthier by intaking more fruits, vegetables, meat, and only whole grain breads. I plan on biking for 5 miles per day around my neighborhood. I also plan on doing 50 push-ups and sit ups in the morning before school and 50 of each before bed. Also I love to swim so if the weather is nice enough I can do that also. Once I feel a little more fit, I will try to run 1-2 of those miles. :arrow: Is this a good exercise plan or do I need to do more or less of a certain thing? I am looking to lose around 35 lbs. Once I have lost significant weight I will go to the gym to build muscle and to keep fit. Only problem is that the only gym around here is very expensive at about 600-800 dollars per year. I am only 15 so that kind of money is a slight problem. :wink: Can anyone suggest what kind of weights or things to buy for exercising and what exercises are good for losing weight? I was thinking about trying to buy a bowflex ( :lol: ) because I heard they produce very good results. Has anyone ever used one of these and are they any good? Thanks a lot everyone, any input is appreciated. :)
