How long will it take for a friend to have an athletic body?

I'm skinny to begin with but for other people they should be used to it all in about a month. Allow some more time for the fine details but they should be on their way to a decent six-pack if they balance pool time and dry land excercise well.

it takes about a good 3-4 months to start noticing some change.... but if you are really looking to bulk up it can take as along as a year and a half if you have good eating and work out habits

in response to some of the other answers:  people that are in really good shape sweat earlier in physical activity than those not in good shape.\nAs far as your friend, maybe she just sweats less noticibly.  if she doesn't sweat her body would overheat during strenuous activity or hot weather.

Hey bud.  It all depends on what events in track you'll be running as well.  As of right now cardio will not hinder your lean physique.  However depending on your program it could be detrimental to your power.  If you're a sprinter you need to be focusing more on your anaerobic system.  The longer distances, the more cardio you'll need to be doing.  3 sessions for 35-40 minutes is fine for maintenance of your body composition right now.  But you may need to make your program a little more sport specific depending on what events you'll be competing in.

I hope she has seen a dr. to make sure she is fit enough to do exercises.  I would take it easy at first, maybe 10-15 minutes to start and work her way up.  Probably I would try it every other day and work up to every day....

That depends on him. It could be from 1 min to over 1 hr. If there is a problem he could do exercises to help

Actually, it can vary, depending on the shape you were in before you stopped exercising. It seems that you're fairly fit, and according to Men's Health, an occasional week break is often beneficial. Generally, it takes roughly 6 months to go from being in great physical shape to being a complete blob of unfitness.\n\nHowever, even if you are unfit, your physical appearance might still be the same as when you were in prime condition. Therefore, if you suspect that you're physically unfit but still seem relatively toned/chiseled/whatever, it's mandatory to start out slow, let your body readjust to the workout, then gradually increase the intensity.\n\nHope this helps. And bravo on running, it's a great cardio exercise. Your heart will thank you later.

it usually takes 6-8 weeks of proper training before you will begin to see results.

I'm the same size, and trust me if you work out moderately and stay 'cut', that should be good enough. Truthfully, most women would prefer that then a big, bulky bodybuilder. Be patient and just stay active, they'll come along.

That depends on your athletic ability.  Pro football players and Olympic track stars can run the 40 anywhere between 4.2 and 4.6 seconds.  Average athletes should be around 5.0-5.3 seconds.

I'm a highschool Cross Country and Track runner, in California. Now if you are talking average in terms of a random sample of people...about 28-30 minutes. If you are talking among runners...probably about 20. A good runner will get 17 minutes *Like me =)*k and a very good runner 16 minutes. Exceptional runners will get 15 or so, and the absolute elites will get 14. I hope this helped you.

It depends on your friend's height and whether your friend is male or female.

This depends on \n\n-whether or not you are male or female\n\n- your height\n\n- your bone structure\n\nand a multitude of other factors.\n\nRemember if you are athletic muscle weighs more than fat so the scales are not the only thing to consider!\n\nAlso, at your age it is not uncommon to "Bulk up a bit...put on a few extra pounds that might make you look a bit chunky before you suddenly shoot up several inches in height!\n\nIf this is something that concerns you I suggest you talk to your parents or teacher, your Phys. Ed. teacher might be quite helpful. If they think you might be overweight make and appointment with your doctor to find out what is going on.  Be honest about what foods your eating and your excersise routine.  Maybe you need to eat better and excercise more or maybe there is a real medical issue causing the extra pounds.\n\nTry not to be super concerned about the number on the scale.  Eat the right foods and excercise and nature should take care of most weight issues.\n\nMostly I want you to know that everyone thinks they are a bit abnormal at age 13.  So just try to hang in there.  Try not to obsess about your weight.  Get out into the world and discover what interests you and what you enjoy.  Don't worry so much about what other people think.\n\nMost of the people you know and are hanging out with will be of little or no importance to you in 6 years...in 20 years you'll be lucky if you can remember their name.  So what the heck are you so worried about impressing them for!  :)

If you want to be healthy, you must exercise for an average of 20-30 minutes every day for the rest of your life.\n\nYou question would get more answers,and better ones, if you included more information.

depends on your bodyfat percentage. i know girls at 5'6" who are around 140+lbs who are solid rocks and top triathletes with little fat. I also know girls at 5'6" who are 135lbs who look like fat pigs and don't have an ounce of muscle or definition on them and are really really unhealthy.
