all useless, you need to learn how to count your calories

edit: i mean its useless to try to work out if you don't count your calories because you won't get far

---^  

r/bodyweightfitness if you don't have access to weights/the gym

Start with the basic routine and stop looking at yourself, the results will come just be patient.

Learn to count your calories. In it's simplest form body weight is determined by calories in vs calories out, the more you exercise the more you're 'allowed' to eat. To help me count I use MyFitnessPal, an app that makes it so much easier.

^^ this is great, it may seem menacing to count all your macros for your day, but MFP has a database of pretty much every food ever. Eat a big mac? type in big mac and it will enter all the nutrition facts for you and add it all up.  

^ Yeah exactly, and it provides you with an x goal amount of calories you can eat, say you wanna lose 1/2lbs a week and you're idk 5'5 110lbs, it might say aim for 1600 calories a day (just a guess, but you get the idea of it)  

As you are a girl looking for a summer body, you probably aren't looking for upper body strength so just do ab work outs. The best ab workouts in my opinion are leg raises and planking. Both can easily be done at home, just use your bed to hold onto when you are doing leg raises. Don't be discouraged if you have difficulty, it will get easier the more you do it.

Do 20 leg raises, rest for 15 secs, do 40 bicycles where you are on your back doing the bicycle motion (20 on each leg). Rest for another 15 secs. Plank for 30 secs, rest 20 secs, then do 20 situps. Take your time with them, do them properly or else nothing will happen. Take a 5min break and then repeat. If you wake up the next day and your stomach feels tight/sore then you were doing everything right.

And yea I forgot to say at the start but this is assuming abs are part of your "summer body" and you are already fairly slim just with abit of excess fat around your belly. If not then definitely do cardo with running/diets the others have suggested to lose some body fat and then use ab workouts to take it further.

Lately I've been trying to get the perfect summer body right?
But tbh Im only doing sit-ups and push-ups and some handstands but Im scared it doesnt really has any effect on my belly so I've been wondering :

1. Do you work out?/ How often?
2. If yes what exercises do you practice?
3. And did it have any effects on your physical state yet?

(Im too young to visit a gym yet and hell nah im not gonna get a fake ID like my classmates)


My first language isnt engish okay please

20 normal squats
50 situps
20 jumping squats

also for dieting tips, eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies and DONT DRINK POP. i stopped drinking pop at like 13 and im so detoxed, drinking it will make me throw up  

I dunt work out but i play badminton, frisbee and football(throwing back and forth) with my friends.
