Any advice about an abdominal/thigh workout for a teenager?
Im a 16 year old vegetarian who is slim but i want to lose fat and get toned so I can have a body I’m proud of by the summer. I have found arm workouts that I like but I need to find workouts for my stomach and thighs. I’m open to anything.
I would appreciate a workout that burns fat as easily as possible. thank you!

I have a 30-day shredding routine that is really good. checkout my website below and see my results. I am not that shredded yet but look at the weight I lost. email me with your email address so I can send it to you
You cannot just do sit-ups to help get rid of love handles or make your stomach flat, and you cannot get thinner thighs by just doing workouts for your thighs. If you were to look at a muscle anatomy picture, you will find that what we call love handles are simply our gluteus medius which goes up and connects to the external obliques and goes down to and forms the gluteus maximus which is connected to your lats. Doing the following will help with the entire area to tighten and tone up your muscles and help burn the fat around them. Hope all of this helps do lunges, step-up kickbacks, walking downhill, running, leg raises without weight or very light weight, yoga, push ups, lat pull downs, pull ups rowing, and deadlifts. All of this combined with a proper diet full of lean protein and carbs, and you should be in business. If you need anymore help email me. Do 3-4 sets and 15-20 reps of light –no weights at all.

My workout routine
I do a push pull workout on most days. 3 days a week i do strength training and the other 3 I do 65 minutes cardio moderate speed (3.5- 3.7)for walking on an incline of 1-2. For running, I run at a speed of 5.5-6 mph on an incline of 0-1, with 1 minute of warm-up before I run at 3.5 mph and for at least 5-10 minutes to cool down afterward. I stretch as well for approximately 5 minutes. I take Sundays off to rest and relax. Push pull for example is doing triceps extension with or without a break then doing biceps curls and adding reverse or regular crunches in there to make sure I get abs in and it cuts down on time. I do abs a lot to keep my core strong. I try to get all of the muscles in that area to work together on the same day. Do the amount of weight for what you want to accomplish. Say for toning, lightweight and high reps (15-20) and 3-4 sets. To build muscle, 2-3 sets and 10-12 reps. All beginners need to start with 1-2 sets and 8-10 reps with lightweights. Remember to stretch after your workout to keep from cramping up.10-15 minutes of stretching is optimal. This workout can be done all at once or like you would do 2 a days.
Monday- biceps triceps and shoulders/ cardio for 65 minutes

I was in the same place you are a couple months ago…then i took pilates. since taking pilates my body has changed in many ways, i lose inches off my waste and hips, and i toned all of my muscles in my body. pilates really works your core muscles and it will elongate your body as well as tone your legs and arms. there are many different videos out there for you to try, you can find them at best buy and target
good luck!
