i’m starting the gym in September – what exercises should I do?

cassioTRON :] #1 Stratus-fan! asked:


I need some reliable people to help me with this. I’m 15, have a slim build, but a body fat percentage of around 19. I obviously need a workout with plenty of cardio and strength exercises. I’m looking to go 3/4 times a week, for around an hour and a half each day. If anyone has experience in exercise or personal training, it’d be really helpful if you could suggest a plan. Such as what part of my body I should focus on each day. I was thinking of going Tues/Thurs/Sat/Sun. Help is appreciated.

    If you are going to the gym- there should be personal trainers there that can help you set up a comprehensive workout plan. You don’t need to see them every time you work out, but it would be a good idea to have a few sessions to get your started down the right path.

    Just so you know, you are already at a very healthy body fat percentage. If I were your trainer I would suggest different exercises to tone your entire body, and some cardio to help your endurance.
