If you have a treadmill, stair stepper, or similar equipment, use that for at least 5 times a week for 30 min to start with, and then increase your duration until you're doing the cardio routine for 45 min each session. Include pre + post streching as well as a full abdominal routine, targeting you upper lower abs as well as your obliques. Also make sure you exercise your back to improve muscle tone strengthen your core as much as possible.

If you include some light weight training on top of this, you'll be in excellent shape in 2-3 months, max. If you're already in decent shape, you'll get pretty amazing results in less than six weeks. Good luck.

I swear by stepping up and down on a step board with lively music 30 minutes a day and taking walks when the weather is nice. It does wonders to your posture and legs!

Dear Dani,
A few things that I think are kind of neat.

To get alittle more strength and cardio for sports try this.

Get into the jumping position (like a squat but not all the way down)
Jump up as hard as you can so you come atleast 5-6 inches of the ground. Thats one rep.
25 reps equal one set.

Once you do one set of jumping squats, immediately do 25 sit-ups (propperly).

Once you complete the sit-ups right away do 100 jumping jacks to recover.
Completing this circut of the 3 exercises equals one set

Try and do atleast 8 sets straight in a row without stopping. If you want to add on reps to any of the exercises go ahead..just don't make it to many....remember you want to go for 8 to even 10 sets of all 3 exercises without stopping. This will be cardio and strength like you won't believe. Try and do it 2-3 times a week. After 4-6 weeks I will give you the next phase. Remember not to let your knees go over your toes when doing jumping squats....It is straight down bursting straight up.
The other thing I like is exercising bikes. Do you have one? If not I can offer other suggestions.
