what results are you looking for? weight loss? muscle gain? looking "cut"? \n\nAre you doing both cardio and weights?\n\nIf you are looking for weight-loss results, you will begin to see results quicker with a proper diet. Obviously, the more overweight you are the quicker/dramtic you will see results, which will then taper off.\n\nIf you are looking for muscle gain, then results will really begin to show after a month. Usually, you won't notice them before then but someone who doesn't see you often might. You will at least notice your strength increase. Of course, proper diet helps (adding protein, etc.)

i't hard to say... it shounds like you are going to lose weight fairly quickly, but at the same time, i think you are going to build muscle, which weighs more than fat... so you will lose some weight, and then gain some (which is good, less fat and more muscle...)\nhealthy is about a pound a day (i think) so if you are around there then you're doing good...\ncongrats on getting into a healty routine and the best of luck!!!

I used to be a trainer at a gym awhile back and what I used to tell my clients is that they would feel their improvements long before they would see them. Little things at first like finding it easier to breathe, pants would fit better, maybe they would be sleeping better. It's important before beginning such a program to gather data like weight, maybe a fat pincher test, take a few measurements, and definetly take pictures. Initially, you'll need this data to keep motivated, but within 2 to 4 weeks you should see some results. Sometimes it's good to have others help with this in the early stages.

You would be expected to gain muscle mass.  And assuming you keep your cardio sessions high, I would expect that you will lose some fat as well.

I've seen this workout before (see link below), and have thought about trying it out. I'm in the middle of a different routine I like, so maybe later. One area I find lacking with it is legs. I would add some strength training for the legs. You could add some bodyweight squats to the routine. Maybe start with 4x20 and increase it from there.\n\nAlso, to really maximize your results, make sure you are eating properly. Eat healthy and get a good balance of protein/carbs/fat (40/40/20). Avoid the junk food and fast food as much as possible.

You asked for a fitness guru?\n\nHere I am!\n\nMany people have great intentions on going to the gym this winter, but I bet at least 75% won't even make it in for their free appointment. \n\nThe sad thing is, the same 75% who won't make it in, are the same ones who last year didn't make it to the gym.\n\nSo many people wast money by not using their gym memberships, IT DRIVES ME CRAZY.\n\nIn order to tone your arms, you also need to work the body parts around your arms (shoulders, back, chest, abs, biceps, triceps.) \n\nI would rather you do multi-joint or multi-muscle exercises (exercises that target multiple areas at once) instead of doing isolation exercises. \n\nThe theory behind my method is two fold. \n\n1. You won't have to spend 2 hours in the gym to "hit" every area, instead you could spend 30-45 minutes. \n\nBy cutting back on time you are more likely to look forward to going to the gym as opposed to dreading the gym visit.\n\n2. You are more likely to burn more fat, which will allow you to see more of your toned muscles.\n\nMultijoint exercises will burn more calories in a lesser amount of time than isolation exercises do.\n\n\nIf you don't believe me:\n\nProve me wrong. \n\nSpend 6 weeks doing isolation\n\nthen \n\nspend 6 weeks doing multi-joint\n\nI betcha I win.

Here are some pics. If you want to weight train then I would workout everyother day...Maybe 4 days a week.

hardcore! \n\ni respect that. \nhow often do you change your routines?\ni feel once your muscles are accustomed to a certain exercise--you must stimulate them differently if you want optimal growth...\nyou want to constantly challenge them to perform new types of movement that will recruit more fibers to help you perform your exercises\n\nsomething tells me you definitely know what you're doing =P\nbut perhaps --if you change your exercises--once every 4-6 weeks--you might gain better results\n\nalso--4-5 exercises per body part sounds little too exhaustive--maybe 2-3? as long as you do them with all out intensity \n\ngood luck

First of all, you don't want to do them every night. You will see much better results if you do them every other night. Your muscles need to have time to recover, which take about 48 hours. And you also need a proper diet to see the best results.\n\nHow many to do? do as many as you can, then some more. To get results quickest, you want to overload the muscles. And don't forget to work the rest of your body. Push-ups are good for working the chest and triceps, but it just don't look right if that is all you develop.

The kind of results you are looking for take alot more than a month or two. But don't be disappointed. Keep with the workouts! But there are a few things I can share with you.\n\n1. Diet is very important. Eat a well balanced diet and use suppliments sparingly. There is no magic "Muscle in a Jar"\n\n2. Rest often gets sacrificed in the quest for bulk. However many studies have proven that rest, not just sleep, but time off the lifting has increased muscle growth. like 4days on 2days off. \n\n3. Low weight with high reps will build stamina and give a temporary puff up. Heavy weights will build bulk. Mix up your workouts. do a set of whatever weight you can do 10 of then 2 sets of a lighter weight until you fail (can't do anymore)\n\n4. When working out DO NOT have more than 15 seconds between sets of any exercise from teh start of the workout til the end. Once your heart rate starts to drop the benifits of the workout will be lessened. It's a blood supply thing. Don't mess around! having a full minute between sets is not going to be productive. Workout or go sit on the couch and watch TV.\n\n5. Since you are only 17 you body is still growing in other ways and thus the gains you seek may be slowed. Body building is not a young man sport. Don't over do it!! It won't help, and it may even hurt your development.

It depends on where he got it and what brand. I've aken HGH on separate occasions and they do work, but a couple of things...one is you have to work out for more than a week to see results..and two is you still have to put in alot of work in the weight room. I think alot of people assume it will build you up faster if you work out a little. The more you work out, the faster you will see a difference.

Firstly a suitable training plan needs to be organised, incorparating flexibility, cardiovascular and strength training.  Primarily 3-4 times a week, 45mins to 1 hour should do the job. Try to give yourself rest days between sessions to let the muscles recover and strengthen this will increase results aswell as reducing the risk of injuries.  A quality, regulated and progressive training routine linked with a good all-round diet (eat slowly till you are full) will lead to results in 4-8 weeks.  If in doubt ask at your local gym or fitness center, or buying a sports or fitness magazine is always a good step, \nMost importantly have fun.

Alright, the basic set up for lifting weights is basically 3 times a week, every other day (like monday, wednesday, friday, or tuesday, thursday, saturday). Now, to find how much you should lift all depends on what you want. The bodybuilder's thing is get the maximum weight that you can do for 8-10 reps with a total of 3 sets. This is most likely what you'll want to start out with, or some variation of it. Here is a URL for a site that you just have to select the proper options for and it will give you different all around work outs http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/workoutdatabase.htm Enjoy!

If you work a muscle set hard, 2-3 days inbetween will maximize the growth per workout.  that is not to say you will not gain more with more frequent workouts, but the % growth will not be as high.  For instance, you workout your arms twice a week for 6 months and get a growth of say 10%, then the next 6 months you workout 4 times a week, you will see a growth of maybe 15%.  (all numbers are made up and are just to show the point, the results may be clsoer or further apart than represented by these numbers)\n\nPoint is, working out more often does not hurt, but the productivity may not be as great per workout.

Don't over do it to much i think you are doing enough, if you want better results the best thing you can do is join a GYM where they have professionals that can teach you the right exercises for the right areas you want to improve and the good thing is it really works no made up miracles!

i would start with 2 times per week and go up to 3 in a month, that will give your body time to get used to it. only once a week starting out will not give you enough time each week to get in the routine.
