I am 13 years old, about 5'7", and weigh around 103 lbs, but I still have some fat on my lower abdomen, around the belly button and just below, maybe about an inch of fat.
I play water polo, and on top of that, I work out at night after school. One day I do this:
200 crunches
3x20 pushups
3x25 back extensions
3x25 squats
Or four times a week I do this:
Jumping jacks for 2 minutes, then lifting weights—depending on the exercise, biceps, triceps, etc. I hope you understand what I mean.🙂
Now I want some advice on how to get rid of those extra inches of fat, and what I should eat and how I should train to achieve that. Of course, I can't go to the gym or go running because I really don't have the time due to school, so I'm thinking about what I can do AT HOME TO LOSE THAT FAT. PLEASE ANSWER.
You are still a child, and your body is still growing and developing. So stop the dieting and the overtraining. What good is being "perfectly thin" if you end up sick?
I've struggled with weight myself, and from experience, there's a formula: stick to aerobic exercises for weight loss (cycling, running, elliptical, stepper, swimming—which you already do). Then: AVOID sweets, pastries, and snacks; live without soda or sugary juices, and stay away from alcohol. Eat a balanced diet. In the morning, eat as much papaya as you want, then later, whole grain bread with three slices of lean deli turkey or some fresh cheese. Have lunch early, and make sure dinner isn't later than 6:30 PM. Try to work out in the morning if possible. After a while, your body will adapt to the routine and things might seem to plateau, but after a few months, you'll be satisfied—though frankly, I don't understand why you're stressing over a little bit of fat, because based on the measurements you gave, you shouldn't even be overweight.
