What are some easy ways for teens to lose weight?
I am 15. I have gained some weight. I still dont think that i am fat, but I’m definitely not skinny. I’m almost 5’8″, and my arms are pretty muscular. I live on a farm and i do a lot of work, but my thighs are pretty pudgy. What are some easy ways to lose weight, mainly on my thighs, or at least tone them somewhat?

Lots of slow squat thrusts so you get that deep burn in your thighs.

good luck. you,re probably good the way you are. you can,t spot reduce. you can loose weight, but don,t really have to. there is no easy way. i lost 15 lbs. in two weeks as a result of diverticulitis. not a good way to lose.

Swap out all processed snack foods for fresh fruit and vegetables, and ditch all soda, juice, and other liquid calories. These two changes are probably all you need to lose a noticeable amount of fat.

Good question. I had the same problem and I was around your height when I was your age.
Big thighs and muscular arms. I was fed up with mine!
Just eating ‘lose weight’ pills won’t suddenly make you look toned.
Here are few of many miraculous, life-saving ways I’ve used (all proven successful and healthy)
i. Treadmill (please, it burns stubborn fat 20 MIN ONWARDS)
ii. Treadclimber
iii. Pilates (lengthen the muscles along calf)
iv. Rollerblading (it lengthened my legs…and if you see most good rollerbladers have nice legs)
Try them out…you might be surprised!
Don’t go on the Acai berry diet, please. It’s such a scam.
Hope that helped ^^

P.s. Don’t go on a diet…your body system’ll crash (so will your mood). And you’ll knock on the pudgyness again when you stop.

Soda is your worst enemy

1. exercise for 30 minutes every day.
try jogging or running on the tredmill or join a sport like baseball or soccer.
2. stop eating/drinking anything with refined sugars or that is processed.
sugers turn into fat. Sugars actually turn into fat quicker than other foods
3. drink 64 oz. of water every day (this might be hard, but that is the amount u should aim to get every day)
When a person is thirsty, the brain sends messages to your throat and stomach. Even though the throat might be trying to tell you that u r thirsty, the signals in the stomach are more noticeable. The stomach makes you feel hungry when you are actually thirsty sometimes. So, when u r hungry, u might be thirsty, so try drinking water first
4. watch your calories
aim to only eat about 2500 calories a day. One pound of fat is made up of 3500 calories. If you eat less than 2500 calories a day and only eat about 2000 calories a day. If you do this, you will lose about a pound a week
To be more specific, you can…
1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs
more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of
coffee to get the blood going also.
2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don’t have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already
you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning
hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.
3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies,
candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.
4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why
it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.
