Answer 1

It's really not too late for you because your still young.

You can get the weight off and get yourself back into good shape with a healthy diet and exercise. If this is something you really want, just stay determined.

Don't worry about starting over at a new gym. Who knows, the gym and trainers might be of much better quality, you'll make loads of new friends, and your doing something you love. Whats the harm in that?

Good Luck.

Answer 2

Its not too late if you start working on getting in shape soon.

Start stretching at home, if you have a trampoline you can start working on backhandsprings, standing tucks, etc. Start conditioning at home. Lunges, sit ups, push ups, handstand pushups, v ups, dips, squats, etc.

It's not too late if you're only 16. Go for it!!!
