Tiffany <3 asked:

I am trying to lose up to 15-20 pounds, get in shape, and toned.
I would like a flatter stomach, tighten up my buns and thighs, and tone my arms and build strength.
I have a Pilates DVD but I also want to do extra workouts too.

If anyone knows any great exercises and good eating habits to help me, please feel free to share.

I would appreciate any help. Thankyou so much.
P.S.
I dont have access to a gym or any exercise machines.
Also, I cant really walk either because I dont have any one to walk with.

So I need exercises and tips I can do alone and at home.

I’m 15 and I’m doing a Sports Leadership course. In one of my assignments I have to plan and teach a group of over 50 students. I need some advice because this is my first lesson plan and the first time I’ve conducted a lesson. I need to know what kind of exercises they can do. I’ve thought of gentle aerobics and chair based exercises but I need to go into more depth. I’m really unsure of what to teach them! I just need some advice and tips from real people and not a stupid machine (because all the websites aren’t helping me out). Can you help me please?
I would also appreciate it if you explained to me what the exercises are and how they work because I’m not particually bright and I don’t have a good general knowledge :) oh yeah, I’ve got to improve thier strength, flexibility and endurance.
Hey I wasn’t being insulting to elders, not at all! I’ve been brought up to respect my elders and I do! It’s just that the group that I’ve got to teach have health problems. I wasn’t saying that all elderly people are unfit! Please don’t take offence! I wasn’t trying to be nasty. And it’s the truth, I’m not very bright. Really I’m not. I’m not stupid or anything, I get good grades but I don’t have a good general knowledge. Please don’t take this question the wrong way! I’m not trying to get credit for your ides. I’ve thought of many of the ideas you’ve all suggested but I’m young and not very experienced at leading sports so I wanted to ask other people. Please don”t think I’m sponging off you! I’m not like that!!

Geobreaker asked:

I practice tennis alot and always warm up first, but I’d like to know what kinds of exercises I should do to improve my skill. Not oncourt exercise, but like gym or outside excersices. Only the ones that help me improve things such as my swing, endurance, things used when playing. Hope the questions clear enough.
