I've been determined to loose weight and I decided I should try some exercises (I weigh 128-130 lbs at 5'2" and I want to get down to 115 or so). I only have 2 five pound weights to use though.I just need to know some good exercises that target the main areas (abs, arms, thighs, etc.) and will show some results. Please say the number of reps too? But not too much, i have no chance at more than 50 sit ups or push ups or what ever.Also... I'm really annoyed because I am eating healthy but even after soccer tryouts (over ten hours added up) I gained weight, even though I wasn't eating more than usual. Is this normal? I already have a lot of muscle, but I gained like, 2-3 lbs. Will I start to loose weight now? I have soccer practice nearly every day for two hours, and on days that I don't, I bike and walk.Thank you! 10 points! =)

If You have 5lb Weights. You Will be Mainly Toning Up Your Body.Which Will Do Good.Heres Ab Work Out:5 Sets, 10 Reps - Crunches.5 Sets, 10 Reps - SitupsArms:4 Sets, 20 Reps - Dumbell Curl4 Sets, 20 Reps - Concentration CurlLegs:5 Sets, 10 Reps - SquatsAlso, If You have Layers Of Fat, The Crunches And Situps Will Be Useless. Try Jogging Each Day. 30-40 Minutes To Help Take The Fat Away.Do Every Exercise In A Controlled Manner.Good Luck!

yea... I´m not in it for the point, but that´s not what I came here to say...1) start weight lifting, do it with 5 pound weights 20 times a day2) run like hell (1/2 a mile should do the trick)3) my ab excessive is a little complicated so listen well: you have to be laying on the floor and lift you legs (don`t bend them) and as they`re going up, separate them and get them back together when they`re up high. Repeat this on the way down. Do this 5 times.4) "sit" on the wall.4) increase 5% of your workout every week.(if you want to)
