Hi everyone,

As a person I'm ridiculously outgoing and always very much the kind of person who would be the first to get on stage for any sort of humiliating reason (I don't even need to be drunk!).

However, going to an all boys school for 11 years has filled me with a collosal fear about my body. There have always been guys taller, broader, more muscular, more tanned than me.

Now usually I wouldn't mind. Hey, I'm the one who infamously nearly did the Full Monty at a school disco when he was 12 (Oh the memories!) But recently I have picked up my first serious girlfriend and, ignoring inexperience, I want to look good for her when I'm not hiding behind my clothes.

Obviously this is partly a self conscious worry but that's not the main thing here. I don't need anyone telling me that I need to first appreciate who I am etc. (Sorry, British sterotypes for Americans!). I am about 5ft 7" (168 cm) and not skinny a much as lean. I haven't done much exercise in the last couple of years and have a little flab around my stomach (which is obviously hiding my natural God given 6 pack!)

I would like someone to recommend an exercise programme that lasts about a month whereby I'll be a little tighter and a little more tucked. I'm not looking for Arnie here, just something she won't want to kick out of bed (I have enough trouble thinking about getting that far with girls anyway! Damn boys school!)

So yes thanks for reading and potentially helping and have a good day!

Try the weight loss and definition program from here on Freetrainers. It works. It is a 12 week program and you will not want to stop after 4 weeks. Good Luck and welcome to freetrainers.
