At 20 years old, standing 4'9'' and weighing 180lb, I've come to my breaking point. I spent my teen years fat, and I missed out on lots of things because of it. I'm not going to spend my 20s fat. I refuse to.
I decided to start eating better and exercising, but here's where you guys come in. I don't have health insurance ATM, so I'm just kind of doing my own thing until I start college. Can you guys tell me if I'm on the right track, and if not, can you help me tweak things?
Every day when I get up I stretch.
Then a while later, or right after stretching if I change my mind, I do a 3 different kinds of sit ups in reps of 10, so about 40 sit ups. Then I do 10 push ups (Not so fantastic but last week I could only do 3, so it's something.)
Then usually sometime later, around 2pm I bike for 30 minutes while I watch TV. Sometimes, though rarely, unless I eat something bad, I do an extra 30 minutes.
Also I'm lifting those small arm weights every now and again but nothing serious yet.
I know I need to throw in some other cardio in there, once I get my A/C working I'm going to do some of those Sweating to The Oldies tapes lol.
But so far, am I just wasting my time, or does this sound okay? I lost about 5lb out of nowhere, and decided to start exercising to see if I could get more off this summer. I haven't noticed any physical changes (I know I wouldn't, it's only been like a week), but I have noticed I'm able to bike longer than before.
Also, I should add:
I don't smoke.
I don't drink.
I don't drink soda. I've been off it for 2 years now.
