Get fit/lose weight/tone up in 3 weeks? Hi everyone! In about 3 weeks I’m going on an overseas trip to America (from Australia) and I would really like to get fit and, well, skinny. I'm fairly average but I not only want to become comfortable wearing tight clothing, have a flat belly and, ultimately, have skinny thighs, but also become fit so I can do athletics and cross-country at school without becoming too fatigued too early. If any of that makes sense. I’m 14 and no more than 57 kg (125 lbs) and around 164 cm tall (or 5’4). I have a lumpy belly, which gets me really self-conscious. I rarely eat junk food but I have a tendency to snack when I’m at home, mainly on dried pineapple rings, Sakata rice crackers and cereal. Exercise can be hard for me sometimes as it’s difficult for me to get motivated. I like going on walks around the block with my dog and I also have a variety of gym equipment in my garage (just about any form – even the Ab-King Pro! Haha). There’s a local indoors pool close to my house but I rarely go. Should I start? I’m really determined to change my body for the better. Let me know if you need any more info (though I can’t think of anything else). Also, I’m sorry if I seem immature or whatever and if I posting irrelevant information. Oh, and, it's not strictly set to 3 weeks - I understand that's tough - but that's my starting goal. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! I'm really quite weak/have weak arms, as well. I can't do chin-ups or very good push-ups without hurting my arms.
