I'm a 19 year old student at the University of Arizona who just finished my freshman year for my computer engineering degree. Sounds pretty nerdy, right? The catch is that I'm gay. Now I'm trying to balance a difficult degree with the kind of fitness and looks that I want. As I learn about fitness though maybe I can help others. I've got pretty good grades at least, so I can give advice on that.

ohkay soo for my birthday which is in like less than a month I am getting my belly button pierced, but I want to loose my fat on my stomach and make it hard. What would be your exercise routine you would give me? I'm not like fat just my stomach is like a little bit big. (link)

It doesn't work to target fat loss in a specific part of your body. When you lose fat, you lose it uniformly from your body. You'll just have to exercise and eat better.

I do not have a steady schedule, sometimes I am up all night and sometimes I'm up all day. I am working out and I would like to make sure when I eat doesn't effect all my work during the day. I am planning on working out for 30-45 minutes a day and eating no more than 1700 total calories (1500 is the basic goal, 1700 is my splurge max). If I do eat at let's says 4 in the morning, how long should I wait before I go to bed? Or does it not matter as long as I am burning off enough calories throughout the day?
Thanks (link)

The healthiest (and most difficult) way to eat is to eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. If you eat a small meal every three hours or so you can greatly improve your metabolism.
In general, I would not suggest eating any kind of large meal within 3 or less hours of going to bed.

Ok. So i have read that the best thing to do is start simple and move up. Right now I do about 10 minuites high impact one day and maybe 20 minutes low impact another day maybe like 5 days a week. I have heard on this though that it is better to do a longer period of time, So how does this sound...(I do aerobics and belly dancing) I can do 30 minuites I will do maybe 20 minuites low impact and then 10 minuites high impact, or like 2-10 minuite high impact with a 10 minuite low impack in between and i will do this 3-4 times a week. Is this a better idea? I am working out for moderate paced weight loss and a life long change.
Thank you for your advice. (link)

Give it a few weeks or a couple of months and observe the change to your body. If you're not seeing the results you want, then you'll need to make the workouts more intense. One thing to remember about exercise however is that changes are never drastic and they never occur in very short time frames.

Okay i am thirteen and i don't know if i am eating enough calories. I an 5'0 and 123 pounds. They say if you do not eat enough calories you can gain weight but i eat like that any time i attempt to lose weight. thet day i also exercised for 30 minutes. a quarter of grains, a quater of protein and half of

If you need more calories but are eating small meals, you need to eat more meals or increase the meal size. If you eat six meals and they're each 300 calories thats 1800 right there.

Whats the easiest way to lose all around body fat?
and please don't say diet pills. or plans.
just simple workouts.
and food related things would be n ice.

I doubt diet pills help very many people. There's really no good evidence to suggest that they actually work. Good workouts for weight loss are aerobic, like running, biking, or swimming. Naturally, these types of workouts are more effective when they're longer. Less than 30 minute workouts are good for maintaining health, but the effects of exercise seem to be much more pronounced if the regular workout is 30 mins or longer.

Here's my Q Im gonna start working out and I'm really serious about it and I want advice and I don't want people talking about diet I know that's as important I just wanna know any good training techniques for getting a six pack and to work out my legs and especially losing wieght on my thighs. (link)
| |
Don't focus on a six pack right away because as your improve your fitness a six pack is gonna be the last thing that happens to your body as you get into shape. Six packs aren't easy and they never will be. To have a visible six pack you're gonna need a lower than average body fat percentage. Better start working hard!

In my opinion, weight loss drugs are a scam.

is 115 a lot to weigh for a fifteen year old girl between 5'0-5'1 ? (link)

No.

I just signed up for a gym membership and I am looking to get some type of bar that boosts energy (prior to working out) or something that helps burn fat or anything that you know from first hand, thanks
(also, where to get it) (link)

The most effective style of eating is to eat a high number of small meals so you always provide your body with energy, but not too much at once. This also raises your metabolism. If you want to eat something before or after you exercise to help build muscle or supply nutrients, then you should probably consider how you eat regularly so you can eat it as the most effective time.

(please no lectures about what foods in this list you think i should or shouldn't be eating, i'm going to eat what i like, i just want to do it in the right moderation for a maintainable weight).
If I stay at or below 1500 calories a day and I work out for about 10-20 min a day 4-5 days a week (doing things like aerobics, belly dancing, yoga, running) will i lose a natural flow of weight?
(to give you an idea of what i will eat...i have some health shakes (160 calories per serving) that are like ensure where you can drink them when you are busy or to replace a meal but they have a meal supply of nutrients- 2 of those, a grilled chicken sandwich with no sauce at 400 calories, 2 ice cream sandwich bars that are 100 calories each, and a pack and a 1/2 of ramen at about 300 calories and i usually drink water but let's go ahead and add in 3- 8oz glasses of arizona iced tea at 90 calories per serving...1490 calories for the day.
i just want something regular that i can enjoy and keep up with. that is what i am doing right now. I just haven't made it totally regular yet. (link)

I don't know how you're planning to eat but less than 1200 calories sounds awfully low. If you're going to be exercising every day (honestly putting forth real effort) then you're going to need more calories than that. One of the least understood, damaging practices is starving yourself to lose weight. The exact opposite effect occurs. Starving yourself causes your body to go into fat storage mode.

I recently started running and today was my second day to do it. I never was a big runner, but I noticed that I can hardly run at all (actually, I spend most of the time fast-walking) because I get out of breath so quickly and my chest hurts so bad I can't inhale fully and there's really hard pressure on my lungs.
Am I just way out of shape or is there something else wrong? Will this get better the more I exercise?
Thanks! (link)

Running is hard, and very hard at first. Its a very long practice to get better, but if you run a few times a week (or even every day) you can get a lot better. Running is also a mental thing as well. Even if you're out of breath and your lungs and legs ache, keep on running. Try and run further without walking every time.
