Well, I'm 14 and i've decided i want to start now to lose weight for summer next year as I'm going on holiday. And don't start lecturing me about healthy eating because i eat pretty darn healthy, defiantly more healthy than most teens my age, but i want to know what exercises i can do every week to help lose weight, i go volleyball once a week, horse riding every 2 weeks and walk about 30 minutes everyday. I can't really go to the gym, i thought about going running but with the time it takes for me to get home and how dark it's getting i wont do that till the days get longer. I have weights at home and a treadmill, what exercises can i do to lose weight?

Do 30 minutes of cardio training [dancing, jogging, aerobics, yoga , running, bicycle, swimming, kick boxing ... ] and 30 minutes of strength train [weights, arms, setup, crunches for abs, legs workout and stretches]

# Eat when you are hungry & eat slowly
# Reduce portions by using smaller plates & bowls (9 inch diameter instead of 11+ inch)
# Eat 9 handfuls of vegetables more than fruits each day
also eat 1 small handful nuts
# you have to learn about calories you should take, look & learn label on sodium,sugar,fat,carb,calorie and read ingredients
# Avoid trans fat in label (Avoid partially hydrogenated oils,Shortening, palm kernel oil and coconut oil) and saturated fats at all cost

Sugar, sugar, sugar. The #1 killer for trying to lose belly fat, get a 6 pack, or achieving that flat, tight, sexy stomach. Avoid high fat foods (butter,margarine, cheese, milk ) go for low fat
try to avoid processed or refined carbohydrates
# Drink one or two glasses of water before a meal to help fill you stomach with fewer food calories
# Eat less fat ,sugar and your sodium (salt) recommends less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily—that's about 1 teaspoon of salt. our bodies' needs (about 1,500 milligrams) .
#Fifteen percent of your calories should come from protein, 25 to 35 percent from fat and the rest from carbohydrates.

# Soybean, canola, olive, safflower, sunflower and corn oil are all healthy oils you should use when cooking and preparing foods.
Also, cooking medium heat is ideal but oil alone is not recommended.
# All fresh vegetables and fruits, such as green leafy vegetables and greens, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, tomatoes, etc. Eat plenty of fiber-rich vegetables (dark leafy greens—good; corn--not so good), beans (all of them), and fruit (apples, pears, peaches, and berries have a lower GI than tropical fruits, like papaya and mangoes).

Have a good breakfast and lunch. Go light with dinner. Have something easy and healthy for snacks, like fruits. Avoid bread and pastries. Avoid fried foods. Don´t mix rice, potatoes, flours. Don´t starve yourself, if you´re hungry and it´s not meal time, have a fruit or a natural juice. Avoid sugar and ANY soft drinks. Now, you need exercise to avoid flabs. 20 minutes a day would be enough, do more if you want to but keep in mind a small routine you are likely to keep doing every day and anywhere even if you are not trying to lose weight. Be realistic. Look for exercises like squats focusing around the areas you want to lose, start with 3 series of 8. When you feel you can increase do it to 10, later to 12. But stick at least for a week with the same number.
Running will help you lose weight so use your treadmill if you don't want to run outside. When you use weights it will help tone your muscles. What you could do is run everyday for 30 minutes and then right after you run use your weights. One day you could focus on toning your arms with your weights, the next day you can focus on abs and then the next day you can focus on your legs. When you switch things up with weights like that it gives your muscles time to repair and I found it keeps things interesting. I'm sure you can google arm, leg, ab exercises. If that doesn't work buy a workout video; I think Tybo worked really good for me. If you can, you could sign up for a dance class. It'll be fun and get you in shape real fast. Good luck! Stay healthy!
You can do a lot of jumping jacks, push-ups, kickboxing(they probably have an easy demo of it on youtube), run on the treadmill, leg lifts, crunches(more effective than sit-ups because they work your abs), squats, and so many more. It is good that you are eating healthfully.
Eat healthy, drink lots of water, smaller meal portions, run 30-60min. per day.
How much do you weigh? How tall are you?
Doesn't help.
