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

can anyone help me?

How soon till your soccer season start? It might be too late to really gain anything, unless it's about a year from now.

In highschool I prepared for football, and I usually start roughly a year before the actual season started. It kinda helped, but I still sucked. lol.

Anyway, if you want to get in shape, just eat right and exercise... is really all I can say. Eat 5-6 meals a day, and actually workout where you'll be playing instead of the gym. Just lift weights in the gym, and go outside in the soccer/football field and actually run with the equipment you'll be using so you can prepare your body with the motion and hard ground. Run back and fort the 100 yards as hard and quickly as you can everyday... and I believe you'll be in shape. Also, you could try dragging weights behind you (maybe 25 pounds or so) and simply build up your endurance and strength. Your school should have one. Just put yourself through hell week prior to the start of the season and I think you'll be prepared.
