Ok i need some tips and advice on building muscle?

Ok so I am in 7th grade. My sister just got into highschool and it turns out that highschool does swimming. :O. When I get into highschool and start doing swimming I don't want to be bulging with muscles but I want to have a six pack (like I said not a bulging one lol) and more visible upper body strength. I've been working out pretty good the past week but I need to know if anyone knows different types of excercises for upper body strength and abs. Also I would like to know if you guys think it is possible to reach this goal at my age?Ok i need some tips and advice on building muscle?
It depends largely on your genetics and your current health and physical condition. Some people never can get a sixpack no matter what they do.





The best exercises to do are push ups, pull ups, and crunches. There are many different varieties. If you push and do these everyday, you should build muscle and be ready to swim. You also need to change your routine about every 10 days so you keep building. For best results add yoga, aerobics, running and polymetrics every other week. You could talk to a coach to get individualized help. Swimming laps would also be good way to build the muscle and increase lung capacity. See if there is a Jr swim team you can join, many communities have them.





A key part is nutrition, you need to eat healthy. In other words no junk food, sodas, sugars, power drinks. At your age you need to eat but stick to natural foods and natural fats. (yes fats are good as long as it is a natural fat).





Don't get discouraged, many young men don't really start developing muscle etc until around age 17. Don't get obsessed either about building muscle, at your age too much can cause long term problems. Do have fun with it and learn what works best for you. Everyone is different.Ok i need some tips and advice on building muscle?
Well to be honest, the most important part of getting a six pack is how healthy you eat. It's not the size of your abdominal muscles that matters. What's important is that you reduce your fat levels, to make your muscles more prominent. I would recommend to do sit ups, press ups and other exercises. But I would also recommend doing cardio, like jogging, running, etc...





However, to be honest I don't think trying to get a siz pack will be easy at your age. In fact, it may be unhealthy to attempt to get a six pack or gain muscle at your age. I would just do some body weight exercise like push ups, etc.. and eat healthy. Then once you get a bit older, you can start some more serious training and diet control
Just run and eat healthier. Also, see if the coach will let you come to practice so you can start early, swimming will burn fat, and build some muscle. To get it to a way you like it your going to have to lift weights, you don't have to lift big weights just the right ones so you get what you want.
if you don't eat meat, then it will be pretty hard to build muscle
