Anyone have a good workout schedule for a 15 year old?!


Question: Anyone have a good workout schedule for a 15 year old?

Hey, Im 15 and about 5 foot 7 or 8 and about 110-115 lbs. I wanted a good weekly workout schedule to get some muscles in my arms and upper body. I don't have any workout equipment other than a 10 lb weight. I cant do a pull up, and frankly I'm pretty weak... I don't want to go to any gym, so some sort of schedule based on push ups, sit ups, crunches, or that 10 lb weight (or anything else you can think of that doesn't require a gym) would be great. Thanks!

Just build up the repetition of exercises you do. I would suggest working up to 50 morning and night starting at 10 and increasing by 5 each week or as is comfortable. I would suggest new weights as 10 lb wont really help unless you do a ridiculous amount of reps.

You pretty much answered yourself, if you don't want to go to the gym you can try doing pushups try 4 sets of 8 reps to start off then start adding reps then start doing sit ups 4 sets of 8 reps then increase when you feel that you are improving. 10 lb weights won't really help sorry I can't help you on that. Good Luck

WHat a great question-really. I was a MAster fitness trainer in teh Army. It's very easy-tell your dad that you need a membership to a good local gym-then read up on a few good Muscle mags for hardcore work outs. Study the muscles-it's really important!
Then make your own work out from the info you have obtained. Choose 3-5 movements per body area. Then hit the gym. You'll want to do light wieght and high reps to start. This will help you concentrate on form-AND THAT"S THAT WHOLE KEY to getting strong in the long run without injuries!!! Then as you get good form-add wieght and you'll see your reps go down. 5sets with 10reps per set per excersise will tell you that you've arrived and then you can really get to the heavier strength training. ALSO get a good workout partner-it makes a world of difference. But JUST DON"T YAK YOUR WORKOUT AWAY! talk after the workout!

And if you want good advice in real-time, go to your Wrestling coach-they usually know a lot about strength and cardio training-football coaches are good too but Wrestlers are usually really buffed. I played football but wrestling wore me out-LOL!!!!
