How long will it take me to get visible muscles and abs with my routine? Please help?

jambakenny asked:


I’m eating a lot of healthy food now now and doing daily exercises. With my routine, I’m wondering how long it’ll take to get visible abs and muscles. I want to look good for my first year in high schooll. There’ve been a lot of debating between my siblings saying how long it’ll take me. So I need a lot of opinions to justify my answer. Please help me!!! Thank you.

I’m 14 years old, 5′5″, and weigh 121 pounds.

I wake up 6:30 every morning and jog a mile. Everyday I swim 20 laps front and back in my pool, do 20 pull ups, and use weightsdoing 200 bicep curls on each of my arms (every other day), 20 sit-ups, 20 curlups, 20 pushups, 20 leg lifts, and stretch out my body. (Note: all exercises are done at different times of the day and I can’t go to the gym).

So again if anyone can answer my question that would be great. Thank you!

I want to lose 25-35 pounds. I weigh about 170 Ibs so this isn’t a ridiculous goal. Obviously I have to eat healthy and exercise.

I have access to a gym and a pool. Which is better swimming or jogging? The pool isn’t really made for laps though…

So what should I do?

I probably can’t even swim across the pool once without stopping for rest. How do they do so many laps and maintain the same speed?

itguru5354 asked:


Started to learn swimming last month. Have been swimming at least 3 times a week for practice. However, I can’t swim full lap cuz I get tired very easily. Why is that? I guess I still need to work on my swimming technique. I had a cramp the other day, and I’m still in a bit pain. I can’t wait to go back to the pool (I pay $68 monthly at YMCA) I’m also a bit of afraid going to deep water. The pool isn’t deep; it’s just from 4 to 6.5 ft. I just don’t know whenever I pass the 5ft line, I get nervous and my swimming style starts to fall apart. I had a private trainer for 5 days, and I was able to swim to 9ft deep (different pool).
I don’t know how to float on my back yet. Trainer taught me freestyle and a lot of basic techniques since the beginning.

Is it possible to lose weight from stomach & thighs just by swimming? I need home workout help?

asked:


I can’t afford a gym membership right now, and wouldn’t have the time to go if I did. What I have at home is a neighborhood to walk in and a pool out back to swim laps. Will I lose weight just by doing this?

What’s the best way to shed fat from stomach & thighs (post baby weight) at home with no equipment?

Please, I need some help here!

Have you noticed an increase in the popularity of swimming since the Olympics? Inspired by Michael Phelps?

PG asked:


There are so many more people at the pool these days than ever before (and I have been going to the almost every day for years), especially teenage guys and younger kids. Some of them have even said, “I want to be just like Phelps.”

Even though for me I now have to wait longer to get a lane for lap swimming, I think it’s nice to see people so inspired to swim, especially the little kids.

Anyway, have you noticed a boom in popularity, and do you think it could last?

Why do some parents take their babies swimming?

Ellen Kate 2/20/2009 asked:


At my YMCA they don’t let you have babies under a year old in the pool. Part of it is due to chemicals but I think there are more reasons. But then at an outdoor pool I went to, it was so irresponsible! People were taking babies under a year old on a waterslide with them on their lap and on top of that it was a sunny day! I can’t help but think that some parents don’t even use sunscreen with their babies even though they are wearing teeny bikinis already.
…what are you talking about..since when is sunscreen bad?
These waterslides were not kiddie slides. Obviously swimming is important but I’m sorry I’m not having my daughter out in the sun like that until she isn’t a baby anymore and is one. Maybe I’d feel differently if it was more supported in my area. Can’t believe some of these people saying it isn’t my business if a child is sun protected or not. I worked in water safety and if we saw that we were to report it. Love those sun protection swimsuits. I’m not misinformed, I care.
