I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for a few years, but have made the choice for myself that I am not going to go at it through anti depressants. I have done my research and came to the conclusion that that is not a path I'm willing to pursue, and that I am going to seek something that will help me feel better not just mentally, but physically.
I am planning on starting to improve my overall health, through simple things such as; eating right, and exercising. I was wondering if anybody had any tips on for example,
- how many times I should run a week
- how many sit ups and push ups I should do a day
- how much water I should be drinking a day (I'm 17, 5'1 if that makes a difference)
- what nutrients I should try to get the most of
ect;
Any advice is deeply appreciated. I'm not looking for fast results that I'll see within a week, I really am motivated to give this a real chance. I would really like to see my body to appear more toned, especially in the stomach area, as most girls do.
Thank you everyone, in advance.
I don't know if this will effect anyone's answer, but my percentage of body fat is 23 %. I don't know what percentage I would have to go down to to see more lean muscle (especially in the stomach area- I'm looking to see changes in everything from the neck down- haha)
