Hello, My name is Jennifer and I'm 17 years old. And I'm looking for ways to tone my body and make it have a slim but strong frame.
I don't want a ton of muscle but I defiantly want a toned body and some abs wouldn't hurt.
I am 5'7" and about 175IBS, which is a little chunky but not to bad.
Any advice on a good exercise routine?
I really wan to work on: The tops of my arms, My sides, Abs, Legs, Thighs, Butt, Chest.
Hmm... that don't leave a lot. But I really want to have abs (flat stomach), and no love handles, or thick thighs.
There are tons of routines in fitness magazines and on the net. Just search it up. Remember that it's not all about exercise though but also about a healthy diet. Here are tips though:
top of your arms: I'm going to assume you mean your shoulders. Do shoulder presses, lateral raises, and frontal raises. For biceps, obviously bicep curls. Triceps: tricep dips and extensions.
chest: chest press, push ups, chest flyes, pec dec
sides & abs: crunches for the upper abs. V-crunches for the lower abs. back extensions for the back core muscles (those will make you look taller too) and if you're working out at the gym and you have a back extension machine, just lie on your side and do the same thing, that will work out your obliques. if not, do a twisted crunch.
legs & thighs & butt: leg press (45 degree ones are the best), hacksquat, squats and lunges. Lunges are the best for overall leg.
I guess I'm assuming that there's a gym nearby with all the equipment. If you don't have access to that, you can do upper body but doing rowing and lots of other sports. Legs: best bet - volleyball. That requires lunges and squats all the time, which are good for the thighs and butt.
Hope that helps!
