"Swim Suit Season"?
Basically i wanna lose weight by summer. I’m 15 about to turn 16, maybe 5′9 or 5′10, and weigh, well…a lot, probabaly around 165. I’m not fat, and i’m most deffinitly NOT skinny. I just have really thick thighs,/butt, and a "muffin top", but my stomach isn’t that bad. I’m just really self-conscious about my self when i wear certain things such as bathing suits or tight shirts which is why i usually wear sweaters. My goal is to get in shape by summer, or at least when i go back to school (early sept.)
I was working out a lot for a while, but i really didnt see improvement. i really like lifting weights, and dancing…but i know the "real" way to lose weight is running. I HATE running.
Is there any way that i can get in shape before bathing suit season, that doesnt involve running? what other ways can i get some good cardio, like would pilates work maybe? tips please(=
Dancing is an excellent way to lose weight, plus it’s fun and you would probably stick to it. Running has its negatives. It’s hard on your feet and legs. You can really work up a sweat dancing just put on your favorite radio station or some music videos and get your dance on. Weightlifting is also great. Did you know the more muscle that you have on your body, the faster your metabolism works and you lose more weight when you exercise. So keep up what you’re doing, but be consistent,at least 30 minutes, 4-5 times per week. In addition to all of that, it is important to include a healthy diet, start slowly if you need to and just cut out things here and there like a couple of sodas, that extra piece of cake, the small fries instead of Super Size. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Running isn’t the only way to get in shape. If you really like dancing, do that instead of running. Weight lifting is a great form of exercise, too, because it helps speed up your metabolism and obviously helps build muscle. Ideally, you should try to get 60-90 minutes of exercise in each day, but every little bit counts.
Diet is also part of getting in shape, too. Limit your intake of sugars and bad fats and eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and grains. Eliminating pop altogether would be great, as pop is only empty calories with a ton of sugar. It’s recommended to drink around 8 glasses of water each day to stay hydrated. Also try to get plenty of sleep because your body heals itself and burns calories when at rest.
