Good workout for a teen? (14yr old)?!


Question: I need to get ready for track and field this summer but there is only 2months left so i really need to practice because its going to be tough making the gr 9 High school team, also i have rep basketball tryouts around july so i want to be physically prepared for that. Im 5'6-5'7 and 135 lbs. Other than running what should i do? also i heard eating dinner late is bad so what is the latest time i should eat? and how important is breakfast because i rarely eat it. Whether the workout is extreme or not i will be prepared to do it, anything will help me out a lot! one more thing.....for some reason i eat fast food ALMOST everyday (Mcdonalds,wendy's ,harvey's yet i still stay in very good shape and am one of the top 5 all around athletes in my grade at highschool? is this going to come to an end soon? i think its because i have a fast metabolism(if thats how you spell it) should i just eat subway from now on?

Try not to eat fast food. Diet is important for an athlete, so make sure that meals are balanced. Breakfast is extremely important, and you should have it every day, especially if training. Apart from running, you should do some circuit training. Pick a number of exercises (press ups, sit ups, lunges, knees to chest, alternate knee to elbow, pull ups, tricep dips, squats, etc) and work them into a circuit. Pick about 6 of your exercises a day, and do three or four sets of each. You also need to work out how many repetitions to do for each exercise. To do this: do as many as you can for each exercise. Divide this number by 2, round to the nearest 5. This is how many reps you do for the 1st and 3rd sets. For the 2nd set, add on 5 more, as you do your hardest work then. For instance, if you can do 32 press ups, divide by 2 to give 16. Nearest 5 is 15. You therefore do 15 press ups in th 1st and 3rd sets, and 20 in the 2nd (note: for pull ups only increase by 2 in the 2nd set). Every couple of weeks go up by another 5 reps. All this should help. Don't forget to properly warm up and stretch, and make sure you have a couple of rest days a week, so that you do not injure yourself

mcdonald , and all the fastfood you should limit.. it will just make you heavier whenever your working out or playin basketball. the more you run, the more higher you can jump in basketball. dont eat after 6:30.

you probably should stop eating mainly at mc donalds and start at subways but if you do eat at mc donalds then you should have a nice work out like an hour later and exercise a lot.
