get into shape
so school is almost starting and i want to get into better shape. im going to be very busy because i am in the marching band and that is like 24/7 so i dont have a huge option. i want to tone up my stomach...ALOT. and my legs just a tad. im not sure if i have time to go running so i am stuck with a bike that doesnt move and anything i can do in my room.
if i do sit ups or crunches how many should i do a night? school for me starts on the 5th. i want to try to get as much done as i can. im not expecting alot becuase i know it is a short period of time so please do not tell me its hopeless or whatever. how long should i go on that non moving bike thingy? what other stretches?
also is it possible to get rid of cellulite?

Crunch is same as sit up except when you go up, you only go up half way up. It puts lot of pressure on your back and neck though. So it really doesn't work out your leg. Hope this helped :D
That is great you want to get in shape. Well I am also into toning my abs and legs so this is what i do. I do at least 200 sit ups a day. Not all at once, I used to but not anymore. You can do them like 50 in the morning, 50 after school and 100 before bed or something like that. You can divide them up into 50 and do 4 sets of those.
And I say sit ups because if you are going to do crunches, might as well do sit ups because sit ups also tones your leg and crunch isn't really that affective. Do as many as possible actually. 200 at least though
Bike exercising should be at least 30 min. Most exercise require to do at least 30 min before it actually works your body out.
You can do squats for leg. And I also had problem with cellulite problem. I mean i didn't have really really bad one but I still saw weird dimple like things on my thighs. (I am leg heavy =[) but squats definetly help. I can tell you that for sure from experience :D
If you need any more help or described other exercise in detail let me know :)

okay i'd try like 100 - 200 crunches a day. that'll tone up like your upper stomach. i've heard that sit ups push the fat down to your lower stomaach so to fix that lay on your back and bring your legs up over your stomach [it's like an upside crunch].
for the non moving bike i'd do like 20-30 minutes. since your in marching band your probably already doing a lot of walking/marching.
k and for your thighs. to tone the inside, put your heels together [or close to touching, your feet should be facing outward] and squat down.
to tone the the outside and behind
grab a chair from behind [so the back is facing you] and lift you right leg up as far as you can the your left then right, etc..
also do lunges.
i hope i helped out out! oh and also remember a healthy, balanced diet and drink TONS of water.
