Body weight exercises!

Body Weight exercises are always great to get started, and once you can afford one (save your money!) go out and get a kettle bell! Walmart has them I think. Once you get body weight exercises down get started with more complicated shit like kettle bells.

Can you save money?

If you're on a budget and want to start strength training, you can get pretty far on $10 a month. You can start off with simple body weight exercises and move on to more advanced movements. You can also buy dumbbells to slowly add weight to pull ups and dips (which can likely be done at your local park). Save up money and incrementally add to your dumbbell collection. You should be able to get a dumbbells at $1/lb your local Walmart, or you can try to get better deals on craigslist. If you can save up hundreds of dollars, and if your parents would allow it, an Olympic barbell set from craigslist would be one of the best life investments you can make. A $10 ab wheel is great investment too.

Here are some links for body weight training info.

As a quick piece of advice, get stronger. Strength is the foundation of all physical progress. If you start exercising, the best way to make sure you're not wasting your time is to get stronger. While doing things like tons of push ups is good, working up to doing a push up with someone laying on your back is better.

Being a man = being better than you were the day before. Just start with bodyweight exercises, try your best to increase your reps daily, and try suss out a job to get some money coming in.

Save up money, buy some weights at a thrift shop/craigslist/new if you can afford it. What led me to getting in shape and starting heavy lifting was getting weights at my house. My family is not very well off, but we looked in the right places and found a bench/plates/bells/bowflex at goodwill, thrift shops, ebay, and other places. Scrounge your family's storage, maybe they have some old weights? Also, you can fill jugs of water if you wanna go oldschool. Just go by volume and convert into lbs. There are tons of ideas! Lifting weights just means lifting heavy things.

If you can set up a pullup bar in your house I would suggest placing what I'll call designated workout chokepoints. There are probably thresholds in your house that you cross pretty regularly. Each time you cross one of those thresholds oyu have an exercise you are required to do. Start out with something easy. 15 pushups whenever you enter the kitchen, 10 pullups when you enter your room, 20 crunches when you leave the bathroom, and 10 squat jumps whenever you leave the house. If those reps get too easy, add more reps. You may not have a gym, but having consistent workout points in your house should do you some good.

My advice is not to worry about being a beast until you are 20. Until then, eat clean, keep no fat and play a team sort like football, basketball, soccer, whatever.

Once you're in college you'll have access to good cheap gym (often included in your school fees). Eat lots of protein and broccoli and remember that exercise improves your brain.

I love it. You want be become a man. But relax a bit. Body weight exercises are just fine at this point. Plus, not even being in high school yet means you have plenty of time to slow build. Relax. You don't need to be a muscle head yet. Or ever, if you start now. Just calm down and do anything that makes you sweat. At your age even simply running will build arm definition. Then do some pushups while you're at it. You'll be fine.

Push ups, pull ups, sit ups, running, holding what ever weights you can find and doing squats (gallons of water in each hand), ect. All these basic exercises will go a long way.
