work out plan
I want to lose 10 pounds in the next 2 months- By June 15th. I am female, 17 years old, i currently weigh 165-170 lbs (it fluctuates) and i am 5'9". I want to weigh 155-160 lbs. I was wondering if someone can make me a daily work-out plan i could do over the next couple months to help me achieve my goal. I really don't know many effective exercises.
Thank you!

Hey there.
The problem with making you a specific plan is that I dont know what you have available, what you are willing to invest in (e.g. a gym membership), and what your current fitness level is.
So, it will have to be rather vague.
First you need cardio. It could be jogging, brisk walking (if you are in bad shape), biking, swimming, stair machines etc. Cardio should be steady pace, not too intensive (at a rate where you could still carry out a conversation), and last for at least 20 minutes to get the heart health benefits. As you get fitter I would go longer to burn more calories.
You should do this 3- 6 times per week.
This in itself is enough. An ideal program however combines cardio with weight lifting since the latter preserves muscle loss during dieting and positively affects the metabolism. If you are planning to do this, let me know and I can help you with a routine.
Otherwise you can also throw in some exercises at home. Here is a link to a video I dug up:

The guy is a bit dorky but very creative :D
A few more searches on youtube can get you plenty of options but keep this in mind:
1. Try to train your whole body, i.e. as many muscles as possible. Fat loss cannot be targetted so what we are after here is preservation of muscle tissue and calorie burning.
2. Train both sides of your body. Dont make the classic mistake to just do abs. This can lead to posture problems if you do not also train your lower back. You can see a lower back exercise in the vid at 2.37, and overall his routine seems pretty complete.
3. Take one to two days of rest before training the same muscle. A full body routine could be done say Mon, Wed, Fri. Recovery depends on many, many factors, so listen to your body.
So now you have the basic components. Make sure you clean up your diet and eat sensible, balanced meals. You goal is very attainable so just be patient and monitor your progress. You can then tweak your diet and routine as you go along.
Good luck :)

defiantly exercise and eating right is the way to go!
you can start running or do a cardio routine to burn some of what you eat each day. mix up jumping jacks,hops, kickboxing or anything else.. you can make it up yourself as you go and set a time(maybe fifteen minutes) or im sure you could look up anything online!
start to eat healthier- limit junk food
you could also do an abdominal workout.. start with some simple crunches or situps and hold hollow shapes and rocks
good luck! you can do it:)!
