You need to improve your endurance with aerobic activity, not just kung fu.  Try cross training with jogging, swimming, or biking for at least 30 minutes two days a week.  When your body gets used to longer workouts you wont run out of breath after 10 minutes.

"At your age you should see results quickly. Your diet is as important as the number of sets you do. Eat lean and try to do 15-20 minutes of abs 5 days a week. Be sure to work all parts of your abs. Check out some pilates too."\n\nYeah this person is correct with most of the information, however you may want to work on different muscle groups on different days, if you work on abs like crunches 24/7 your body wont have time to heal and build muscle, it takes 48 hours to build muscle so do ab workouts about every 2 days for about 20-25 minutes a day, and a cardio workout.\nHell if your going for abs you might as well go all the way and get your whole body fit.

I work out in a pool, so that might present problems for you if you don't have access to a deep-water pool. It also takes extra time because of the changing clothes before and after. But I love it and would not do anything else. I'm in the water 3x a week for 60-90 minutes.  There's details on my blog.

I only workout each muscle once a week hard.  You need to give time for them to recover.  Don't do as someone mentioned the same muscle two days in a row that's rediculous.  Once a week each muscle with a hard workout is more than enough.  I have been working out for many years and you do need to change it up every once in a while and mix in new exercises and vary your days around.

48 hours? I don't know about that.\nIt really depends on what level of training you are at.\n\nIf you just started you probably aren't using very heavy weights.  Just go with the flow and have fun with it.\n\nBut your chest will get harder, and you be like big man roar.

If you diet correctly and are strict no cheating and beat your abs hard either every day or every other day you should reach that goal withing 8 to 12 weeks. Really hit the abs hard though for the muscle and diet to see the muscle.

Of course. Always stretch your body before working out. Before and after. \n\n5 minutes warm up and 5 minutes cool down is fine on a 30 minute cardio. \n\nCardio works much better for weight loss if you are doing a good 45 minutes tho. Try to go for 45.

4-5 times a week.  Anything will work but do the one that works for you.  I personally like aerobics classes. I need both the social to get me there.  Like when one of my aerobics freinds asks where I have been, cause they haven't seen me.  I also need the pumped up feeling I get from the group workout.  howver, my brother needs the solitude of running.  Finding out what works for you is the most important.  \n\nI recommend all beginners start with walking.  It is easy, cheap and quick to start.  Walk like you are being chased.  Not a stroll.  Start with 1/2 an hour a day for a week or two.  then walk for 45 minutes.  Finally try to get it to 1 hour.  If you want to start running try it then.  But go slowly for your joints to build up the cushioning they need. \n\nMorning or night?  Studies have shown that am workouts are more effective but I know I won't do them which makes them much less effective if I don't do it.  I also love running at night.  Where I live it is safe and so much cooler to run at night.  I also do my exercise classes at night.  I am usually awake until 12-1 oclock anyways.  So finishing my gym routine at 8ish is not so bad.  The most important thing is finding the right time and place for you.\n\nThe rules listed above while a good idea would set me up for failure from the get go.  I would never be so disciplined in my life.  I have way to much going on.  It works for some people but I make mistakes and just keep going.  Sometimes in a week I won't get any exercise in.. but the next week I just pick up and keep going.  That is life.  Sometimes I also will eat the whole cake but I just try not to do itthe next time. \n\nWay to go you will feel better in the long run.  Also kudos for trying to find out as much info as you can.  Read it all, everyone has good things to say.  Then use what you learned and make it work for you.  Good luck

1-2 weeks is normal however some people last longer. Below is a link to a story of a guy who lasted 44 days.

You'll feel results in a few days. In a few weeks you will see results too. \n\nInstead of jogging two miles every day, consider jogging four miles every other day. Most of your fat burns off after the first 30 minutes of exercise.

If you want something to help you get bigger, buy whey protein. It will work a lot better than this crap, and is a lot cheaper. \n\nAnd it is not how long you work out each day, it's how intense your workout is. I only go about 45 minutes a day, but it very intense. I'm getting very good results from it.

If you mean you work out one hour a day...five days a week...no it is not to long...if you mean your work out five hours in one day our body doesn't like that type of force that is placed upon it and eventually can cause some long term problems....\n\nIt would be much better to pace yourself and have a more rounded program.

If you want to go to the gym... i`d say 3 times a week 40min cardio 20 min of anything else... like abs. Or go jogging... the outdoors is always nice.  enjoy!

It's ok to take breaks at first, but make sure to take them only after you have sufficiently challenged yourself, not just because you began to feel tired.  I would try to go a little longer each workout or taking shorter breaks each time until you don't have to anymore.  Most doctors will tell you that it's good to keep your heart rate up and active for at least half an hour while working out.

at least 30 min. if you are in pretty good shape, 45 if you are looking to improve.
