Question Posted Tuesday July 24 2007, 2:43 am

ok so im 15/f and im not what you would call fat, but im not what you would call skinny either. i weigh 120 pounds and i want to lose 15, and i kind of want abs. the problem is i have really bad asthma and i cant go running for 2 minutes without like hyperventelating(sp?). and running is supposed to keep you in shape, yet i can't seem to do that. well i was wondering if there was any plans that i could go on without having to pay or sign up for anything. because i have no clue on how to lose 15 pounds. people on tv losing weight, like made, make it look so easy, and i always wonder how. i just want to get in shape so i can feel good, not to starve myself. and i was wondering what are some really good exercises to build up abs, and arm and legs pretty much, so that i dont have as much fat on them. thanks for reading and hopefully you can help :]

Can I first of all say that 120 pounds is slim!!!!

Either way, if you want to exercise, become healthier and tone up, the best way for you to do this would be swimming. This exercises every muscle in your body and has in many cases improved the effects of asthma as you exercise the lungs as well and make them stronger.

I think that if you can manage to go swimming for 30 mins every day or an hour three times a week you will see results.

If you want to do this healthily without any negative effects for your body please bear in mind that there really is no quick fix. If you exercise/swim regularly it will take 12 weeks to really notice a big difference however when you do, 12 weeks will seem like they have flown by and your hard work will have paii off.

Hope this helps.
