I'll start this off with a little introduction.
I just turned 15 a month or so ago and I'll be going into 10th grade. I'm around 5'7" and weigh 140 pounds or so. I need to get a scale so I can record my weight daily because it can go up and down pretty easily.
Last basketball season we had a coach who thought running would solve everything. I was actually a pretty muscular kid to a point I workout a little but not on a daily routine. We started doing all these sprints and constant running. One time we played a game then did around 30 down and backs full court in the gym in one day after I was done playing a game. Then the next day we had a game so I was constantly exhausted and I wasn't eating what I should have been. I was at the point where I was growing and not gaining weight. I was around 130 by the end of basketball and gained 10 pounds or so during baseball. I have little body fat I'd say from what I can see. I do have a little extra fat on my stomach that I want to get rid of. I just want to get a little more tone and being 15 and all I know that the only reason I keep off most of these pounds is well because I'm 15.
I think I should be eating a little more healthy. I play 3 sports during the summer though our season is almost over. I play baseball soccer and basketball. I have 4 basketball games over 4 weeks and a few soccer games and a few baseball games left. We start fall soccer in august sometime, I'm not sure when.
I have a workout book for baseball pitching related that I started this week that I'll be doing over the summer and until next baseball season. It's a workout for 3 days a week. I already did 2 days and today's my 3rd day of this week and this is a huge program and it already mixes up the workouts so your doing legs core and arms at different times.
Here's the deal. I need to get in shape for soccer so I need to be running on a good routine. I'll only be playing JV and I started and played most of the games last year and I wasn't well prepared either. They will get us in shape but I want to make sure I'm in better shape this year. How should I be separating my workouts? Should I run every other day rotating around my workouts and have 1 day of nothing? I usually have time at home but I work quite a bit but I can still find time to do any kind of workout.
I also want to incorporate some squats into my workout because I started doing them during baseball and around then and I can see a difference and my legs seem stronger. I like that workout and I'm wondering how I can incorporate that into my routine or if I should hold off on those or what. I want to loose some of the fat around my stomach and I'm guessing if I run on a good routine and make sure that I'm eating good less at night that I should lose that without a problem.
I really don't know too much and I'm looking for some help.
Thanks
