Training with 2kg weights

Hey I'm 15 and starting weight training a few months ago. Its definately worked but I haven't really had great guidance in what to do. What sort of a program can be made from 2kg weights? Just want to lose fat off the arms and gain a bit of strength.

Regarding diet, I try to keep calories to a minimum, all apart from a shameful macdonald's once a week :/

So without going to a gym, what could I do with 2 2kg weights? I am currently about 140 pounds, 5,9 and can do 15 pressups (not the easy way using knees).
 
2kg? You can't "weight" train with 2kg (less then 5lbs) try a bodyweight workout.
 
Do pushups my friend. Sit ups. All that natural stuff.

5lbs weights SUCK. I have no idea how anyone can get a good workout from them. MAYBE a 8 year old. MAYBE though.

Pushups will work wonders for you when compared to those 2kg weights. By the way, don't eat macdonalds. Just don't.
 
haha yeah I'm gonna cut back on the macdonald's idea. I use to use 2k weights but now I double them to make 4k / 8lbs but that's still too small. So pushups do lose fat off your arms as well as building muscle?

Oh yeah and I do sit-ups every day but I suck at them..can only do about 25-30 before I just have to stop
 
You can't spot reduce fat off your arms. If you want to lose fat do weight training and cardio, eat less calories than you burn, limit the fat, (especially trans and saturated, cut these out totally if possible, while ensuring you get enougth essential fats), and avoid refined sugars and overly refined food in general.
 
Just gonna cut and paste stuff from another topic for you.

Dont forget to work the whole of your core. (front, back and sides)

If you just work your abs, you'll get muscle imbalence and prob suffer from a bad back within a few months.

What ever long you train your abs, train your sides(obliques) and back(spine erectors) the same.

For back try laying on your front (prone) with your feet under a weight, or bar and put your hands up by your head. lift your shoulders off the floor and reach up as high as you can go.
notes: keep your head inline with your back, dont tilt it backwards.
the further you reach above your head with your hands, the harder it will get.
try doing it with a twist, rotate your shoulders as you come up.
dont "lay down" between every rep, keep your shoulders an inch from the floor between reps.

For sides, Lay on you side. raise yourself up on to your elbow, using your forarm for support. rest one foot on top of the other. whan you lift up the only thing touching the floor is your hand, forearm and elbow and side of bottom foot. lift up and bridge, hold it for 2 seconds then lower your hips to 1inch off the ground.
notes: hold a weight (large bottle of watter, brick, etc... with your spare arm supported by your hip.
put your foot on a small step, or books for an extra strech.

for abs, lay on your back with your hands above your head holding a heavy weight, or door frame. lift your legs up in the air keeping them together and out strate. take them up and down. find the range of most resistance, the higher you go the easyer it will be.


Make it hard for yourself. Try to find ways to make it harder. You dont want to do more than 20 in one go. try to make it so you can do 15-20 five times each.

Hope that helped.
 
aight thanks for all the advice. I posted before I really looked at the forums so I didn't see that forum ;)

yeah..good point. I'll try working the back and sides as well. I use to do about 60 reps with 4kg weights but that was too much..too time consuming. I'll try and get a body mass index
 
i say you should start off with atleast a 7kg dumbell...when i was 15 i first started with 7kg and moved up sizes in no time at all...8 months later i went onto 12 + 14kg weights...
