Time to make a change...

[Spence97]

Well, im just so tired of being soo skinny (14 and 105 pounds) and sometimes I just cringe at some of my pictures. Im going to begin a regular workout routine and meal plan. Any advise on what to eat and any workouts( abs chest biceps etc) that could help (gym is not an option). I just need opinions and thanks in advance for any comments. :)

eat healthy like eat small at first like 6 meals a day and some snacks
drink plenty of liquids
as for excersise might i suggest sit ups,chin ups, and going for runs
start out with something easy that won't overwork or confuse your body too much

I agree eating healthy is key. Realize your only 14 like me. Our bodies are still changing and you may gain more mass in the next year or two just naturally. You can however get into good routines like eating and a basic routine to help it along and make sure it's tone muscle instead of just bulk weight.
I suggest finding a nice routine of simple core techniques and try to get some cardio in like running.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Without a gym your best option to gain weight is frequent trips to mcdonalds

Nik94 ---- classic !! HAHA Geesh how true how true huh? WOW....

Umm ya i agree @ 14 you have alot of time to get into natural shape...hard to tell where u will be in a few years

Eating healthy is always key to establishing a good routine..and try to stay away from fast food....mild exercising like mentioned above.. core and running/swimming

Well for Abs, I guess do a lot of abdominal conditioning. I know that Gymnasts have to have really really strong core muscles. So maybe try looking up Gymnastics core exercises.. It may sound like something only a girl could do, but I can seriously bet that all gymnasts have better abs than a lot of the guys that model for abercrombie.

For Biceps/triceps Really the best thing without a gym is if you have any sort of dumbbells you could lift those, or do pull-ups, that involves lots of muscular endurance and strength, and focuses on your bicep area.

And for your Pecs(chest) I'd say just do lots of push up conditioning. Because Push-ups are working your pec muscles.

My advice would be to try to find exercise or a sport you enjoy and try to forget about any results. Try to have fun. I pitch for baseball and that includes a lot of core exercises. It just sort of happened one day when I looked down there and saw abs.

Thanks everyone for the advice and yes I have a 20 pound weight bar and a pair of dumbbells with multiple weight options thanks , hope I helped!

School is out now for summer, but do you know if your school has a lifting or weight room class? You get access to their gym for free, and get credit. Gotta wait til fall of course, but it might be an option.

Eat a lot! Don't do too much weight, just do it where you can feel it. 200 calories 30 min after a work out, Do not supplement! PB (Peanut Butter) is the answer!

[Spence97]

Well I have another question, when I'm doing crunches I can see a four pack forming and and if I keep up what I'm doing when will I get a visible 6 pack?

[Allbutanillusion]

Maybe this will help....

But, FYI , if you actually look at the figures and calculations you are right on track for weight for someone your age. You may be a little low depending on your height .

If you are a starter, first-timer, you should do pull ups for bi-ceps. Diamond push-ups for triceps and wide push ups for chest. here's a fun chest excercise you will feel in the morning. You start by doing one push up. Then you sit on your knees and you raise your hands in the air one time (like "raising the roof"). Then do two push ups and raise your hands in the air twice. three push ups, hands in the air three times. do that routine up to ten. I bet you can't get to ten your first time doing it ;). you will definately feel it in the morning. that's what you can do for beginners workout. ..um...watch youtube videos for ab workouts. there are alot of people on youtube that do ab workouts that you can follow along with...eat right.

Also try this. Instead of eating three big meals a day, try eating 5 or 6 smaller portioned meals throughout the day. have a midnight snack too. midnight snacks can be healthy for you and i find that eating before bed helps me sleep better. (midnight snacks dont have to be at midnight. they can be right before you go to bed)
