Age: 14
Sex: Male
Weight: 220-230 (Varies?)
Height: 6'0
BMI: 30.57
Goal weight: 165 (Or so says the BMI thing)
Equipment: Punching bag (Yes, thats it, except some weights put away in the garage)

I need help... I dont have the money to go to a trainer for i do not have a job. I have a punching bag, which i use often to relieve stress. Im now on summer break and i really need to lose weight before i start Highschool in September. My girlfriend says i look fine, but im overweight (read above, my profile). Does anybody know of any quick ways that i can lose weight? I cant do anything outside because i have pretty bad allergies to heated grass and weeds. Especally freshly cut grass. I have no problems with sore muscles or knuckles, i use karate sparring gloves for the bag.

Almost every day i walk to my girlfriends house after she gets out of school, (she went to a different school then me). Its a 15 minute walk.. But like i said, i have allergies so they act up even when i walk there, so, forget running. Asthma acts up too. I seem to be able to drop 5-10 pounds a week, then it just pops back up the next even if i dont change anything.. Ive even considdered surgery. But thats the easy way out. And i'd probably gain it back twice as fast. If i forget anything, ill add it here in an edit. Thank you!

Edit: aha! Eating habits! I usually eat around lunchtime and dinner time. I sleep in until about 12:00 (noon) or later because of a sleeping disorder. So i never can have breakfast. (My lunch is my breakfast) When i get thirsty i drink lots and lots of water, and my body is retaining it a little too much if that is possible. But im aways thirsty. Ive started to drink this diet cola stuff, 0 Calories... 0 Fat.. 20 MG Sodium.. All that fun stuff. Anyway, in the line of food, i eat whatever is put infront of me. Except onions, peppers, mushrooms... Texture things. :S. I do not eat chips or chocolate that often. The thing i eat the most for a snack is popcorn (i dont know if thats good?) And i tend to eat alot of small things between meals (white bread with butter)... But i just keep packin on the pounds and i really would like to lose it, and see people not make fun of me for once. Thanks, appreciate it

Note: My punching bag is a 75 Pound, black leather world series from everlast. It hangs from the ceiling in my basement (only problem is, its in a fairly small room with junk in it. 2-3 ft around it.) So i only have room to kick with my right leg.

Note 2: Apparently im also very flexible for my size

It depends on what part of your body you want to work out. If you want to work out your abs, do sit-ups, crunches, leg crunches (laying down putting your legs up and down..the hardest though..have to get your abs some practice with the basics first). Do like 300-500 a day. Push ups are also good too, and defiantly stretching. and also throughout the day...a good practice to tighten your abb muscles (your stomach) throughout the day is practicing on holding your stomach in, and also standing agains the wall holding your stomach in, and standing up straight (back must be straight), and with feet togethe right next to each other.

First things first... You're only 14; slow down on the surgery talk! No surgery required.

Step 1 - Take a serious look at your lifestyle. How much time is spent being unactive. Many people think 30 minutes of working out subs for 23.5 hours of sitting. You're young, get up, get around, even indoors to protect your allergies. This is a lyfestyle change, not a temporary fix. Do this for your health, not for the looks. You'll thank yourself in a few years.

Step 2 - Check the eating. Its not how much, its how often. Eat less food, more often if you can. This may take a little prep work, but it will speed up the metabolism. Double your veggies, especially dark greens.

Step 3 - Workout. Cardio - If you have allergies, try swimming. It will kick your butt and burn a ton of calories, even if it doesn't feel like it. Strength and functional training - Focus on balance and stability, then work your way up to power and performance training (this progression is important).

And 300-500 of anything is not healthy. Abs and ab work is over-rated and unnessary most of the time. Your true core for stability comes from deeper muscles that need to be trained through functional training and you can't lose fat in your stomach from ab work.

I hope this is a joke?
 
All I can say is use an ergo if you have access to a gym in or out of school.

A 30 minute ergo with a decent amount of effort will burn over 400 calories. Obviously it depends on your split.

It is cardiovascular exercise so therefore increases the power of your heart and burns a lot of fat.
