Questions about working out at the gym (girl)
I joined Bally Total Fitness and I'm going to be working out this summer from now til the end of August, to get skinny for school next year. (3 months) I'm 16 years old, 5'4", and 165 pounds. I think I could pass as looking like I weigh 140 pounds though.. because my problem isn't really jiggly fat.. its like either hard fat or muscle I guess. I'd like my body to be leaner, and less chubbier. Close to model skinny. I want to lose 55 pounds in 3 months
Please answer all or some of my questions! (All is preferred obviously haha. thanks so much if you can help!!)
To reach my goal...
1. How many hours should I work out per day at the gym?
2. How many days a week should I go to the gym?
3. What are things I can do at the gym to train myself for the upcoming volleyball season?
4. What foods should I eat to help w/ everything, and which foods should I avoid?
5. How do I stop binge eating? How can it be prevented?
6. Are protein shakes safe? If so, what are some that are?
7. What can I do to grow taller? (my goal height is 5'8")
8. At the gym, what exercises and machines should I be using?

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
1. I wouldn't work out for more than a couple hours a day, remember to stretch and do a cool down. You don't want to over do it, don't lift too much weight at one time, if you do weight training.
2. I would go as many days as you can, it cant hurt. Just remember not to over work yourself.
3. The best things to work on for volleyball are: cardio and endurance, reflexes, and your vertical. I would run, jump, leg presses, etc.
4. The key to dieting to lose weight and get healthy is really portion control. When you eat just eat smaller meals, use a smaller plate, and try to eat fruit, vegetables, and drink water.
5. The best thing to do is when you feel like binging, do something else, such as working out, or eat something healthy, like some fruit.
6. I am honestly not to sure about protein shakes, I do know some people who take them but really all it helps you do is build muscle and as soon as you stop taking them or working out you may lose the muscle that it helped you to gain.
7. I don't honestly think that you can make yourself grow taller, but if you are worried about height for volleyball I would just focus on enhancing your vertical.
8. I would try to just do all the machines, make sure that you know how to use them and are doing them correctly. You could also work on different aspects on different days. For example, cardio one day, legs one day, arms one day, then back and chest one day. You can google different exercises that work different parts of your body.
Hope I Helped and just remember to be safe :)
