Im 15, 5ft 11 (at least) and aroun 195-200
I am out of shape, chubby
My high school has a weight room where I can work after school on weekdays
I am paranoid about working out around other fit people
Is there anything I can do in my home that could help me rather than going to my schools' workout room?

i have the same problem bro. Only not as chubby. My wrestling coach tells us to do situps, also he tells us to loosen are hips by scooting your hips as close as you can to a wall and holding the posistion. Flexibility is key. What sport are you doing, wrestling, boxing? I work out at home even with a broken arm. Wall sits and ab workouts. Get weights or do planks and push-ups.

Run, and don't stop because your shins hurt. Eventually you'll get used to it. I Went from 247.9 lbs to 207.3 in one summer, and I have horrible metabolism, and a horrendous diet. That was the summer after my junior year in high school.

You'd do yourself a huge favor if you start working on getting over this. Don't worry about how you compare to other people, worry about how you compare to YOU. I don't care if you can only bench press 100 pounds, because if next month you can bench press 105 pounds, that's a win. Besides, those who work out a lot aren't looking around at other people in the gym who aren't in shape and worrying about how much or how little they are doing. In fact, they usually look on the chubby people at a gym with respect, because you are trying to do something about it and not at home on the couch.

Yeah, good point, I wasn't really thinking in terms of the high school dynamic, but I remember it well. That stuff can be like Lord of the Flies sometimes, just brutal.

its hard to ignore people if they get in your face and what not
i can make a suggestion to help you here is you like combat spoorts like myself i have started doing muay thai (this is if you have the money) and i lost 10 pounds my first week going to this muay thai place 4 days a week its a GREAT work out
i am 17 and about 6 ft 1 and now at 250 trying to work my way down to about 200 by the end of the year ( a boy can dream
)
so if you got the money and a love for combat sports its a good way to get into shape
just my thougths i wish you the best of luck in your situation i hope u find a way to get into shape i knwo the struggle of really wanting to lose weight but not wanting/knowing fully what to do

Duke Roufus' Roufusport isnt very far away
dont have the cash though
and my parents wouldnt pay for it since my grades arent that good(getting better) and they dont like that MMA is one of my big interests
Im going to (sadly) try some biggest loser 10 minute workout things and wall sits and cardio once the weather gets better
and of course a fitness class and gym at my high school

A jumprope and pullup bar will go a long way. Pushups, situps, shadowboxing are all great at home exercises. You say there aren't many places to run there but anyone can find 40yds for sprints. Google 'bodyweight exercises' and the sky is the limit kiddo. I was a chubby kid too and it sucks. Do something about it quickly.

I was in highschool not to long ago don't worry about the other guys if you can hit the gym hit it. Heck find a buddy and work out with him if he doesn't want to go by yourself. If your seen around the gym a while theyll respect you. Most of the highschool gym rats i remember where cool with people as long as the people didnt just show up and mess around. If you actually work out i think they'll be cool. Also dieting helps if you lose some weight you get better endurance.

Your diet is going to play a big part as well. Eating healthy combined with even a little cardio (even stuff off of video tapes) will help you start dropping weight.

YOu need to decide if you just want to get in shape or if you want to help your tennis game? I would suggest helping your tennis game. It is a game of lateral and front to back movement that includes many shuffle type movements. I woudl consider thsi and set up many small and alrge agility drills to replicate your movements on the court. Also it is a game of endurance, with bouts of explosive movements, like a big forehand down the line to win the set. Use plyos during your conditioning to replicate this. Footwork is crucial. Agility and some ladder drills will help improve this. HIT training is always a huge must when training for anything. Watch what goes in and out of your mouth to. You can workout as hard as you want but if you fill your pie hole with crap you will look feel and play like crap. Max
