Great, i'm motivated! But i'm 17, i don't have the convenience of a PT, gym nor workout equipment. I've just lost 15kg and am satisfied at my 3 months+ of hardwork(and taunting from family members who are apparently all overweight, if not obese) while keeping a 1500 calorie diet everyday. I jog at my house area almost everyday during my diet , my thighs and calves are definitely tougher and more muscular than my upper body and i think its time i paid some attention to my upper body.

I noticed i have a round, somewhat protruding tummy. My yellow book that kept me motivated all this while told me that what looks like excess fat is most likely inactive muscles(or something like that). And i also have (as embarassing at it may sound), moobs or man boobs.


So my question, how do i have a toned, non-tofu like body without having to go to the gym and use equipments or dumbells or anything?

I don't have money, and neither do my family members give a damn about my life. The nearest gym is a 30 mins drive from my house(i don't have a license) and i have serious shy issues. (I don't even have the guts(or balls) to enter a salon for a nice haircut. I had to have my friend just help me step into the salon.)

Its tough when you're alone.

Congrats for losing 15kg, you can try body weight training by the way what is your weight? but if overweight I think its going to be tough. If you twist and turn to find the solution at the end 'gym' sure will be one of the top answer for your question. Start with basic equipment like dumbell and barbell at home then slowly progress to gym. Build your confidence and self esteem and take risk if you want to have a tone physique. When you start to involve in bodybuilding you'll have a new feeling and confidence around you that you might never noticed all this while.

Thanks yup, i really appreciate it. I'm 166cm and used to weigh 72kg about 3 months ago. Now i'm 56kg.

What is body weight training? Is it where you use your own body weight to carry out your own exercises? Is it like pull ups and stuff like that? Now i got some money from ang pow, maybe i was thinking of browsing tesco for some dumbells or barbells. If i do get the equipment, is there a site you can link me to that has activities for using these equipments? I'd really appreciate it alot.
