Long Beach Fitness Expert

hey y’all! so school starts on September 1st, a little less than 2 weeks away. right now i weigh about 143 pounds, i’m 5′2” and 16 years old. i’d like to lose some weight before school starts, or at least tone up. all of the weight i gain goes to my stomach and thighs.
so how can i lose some weight, maybe like 10 pounds or so, in a couple weeks? would i lose weight if i went on something like South Beach Phase 1, but still ate some fruit too? just no breads and sugars and stuff.
and what are some good exercises to tone my abs, butt, and thighs? i have a treadmill, elliptical, stair step machine, bowflex and free weights…what should i do? a workout plan would be very helpful…i have plenty of free time, so i can workout for as long as needed. and i also have band camp all next week, so i’ll be marching for like 3 or 4 hours a day…

thanks in advance. all answer are appreciated. y’all are loved.

Hey, running is a great way to burn the pounds especially along with any kind of diet. A difference in 3500 calories means a loss of a pound. So if you burn 250 more calories than usual and eat 250 less in a week you will lose a pound. Also toning exercises for stomach obviously do some crunches and bicycle crunches. For thighs and stomach the running will also help greatly in toning them. If you wish to tone your arms using the free weights to do crunches and bench press lifts would help. Also push ups are said to do a lot for toning
