losing those extra lbs., xP Options

[lilphoenix]

I'm 13, and going through puberty. That explains weight gain.

And the obvious thing is that I wanna lose it. [For myself.]

Currently, I'm:
•cycling 3.25 miles [takes 20-22 mins. max]
•30 push-ups
•100 sit-ups/crunches
•50 for obliques


Any suggestions to which I can add to my routine?
[The abdomen is what I'm looking for, but all will be accepted.]

Well, if you are doing push-ups and such which gain muscle, then you aren't going to lose weight, you are going to gain weight. If you want to lose weiht you need to be in your max heart rate for 20 minutes once a day three times a week. Which mean cycling for 20 minutes with your heart beating around 130 (if your thirteen.)

I'm basing this on the fact that my max heart rate was 135 at age 14 and it's 137 at age 15.

So, work up to your heart rate and then stay there for 20 minutes and then slow it down, don't just STOP!
