well, me and my friend made a bet that i could have a good body by a month or so, but my p.e says i need to do 300 push ups a day, not sure if she was kidding but does anyone know something or a way i can do something so by in a month i could get a pretty good body to impress girls and get my 20 bucks? haha thanks!
Well first off, start walking and lifting weights. My parents tell me when i left weights you do weightlifting the first day, and then aerobic excersizes the next day, so your muscles get to recharge from weightlifting. Although you can always do aerobics every day and just lift weights every other day. There's not much else to do, besides that.
Getting a good body? In one month? Anabolic steroids. Seriously though man...stupid bet. If you want to win it, you should actually try doing what your teacher suggested...just exercise a LOT, eat healthily, and get a brain too. You need to stop making stupid bets xP
Aerobic exorcise is a must, you burn fat, to show that svelt body of yours. But remember, that don't push yourself too hard. Maybe 300 Pushups the first day, is way to many, work up to it. Maybe by doing 100, then 150 then 200, then 250, then 300?
If you want to get a great body. Do what I do. I have fricken 6-packs in 4 months. Yay!!! Also, I'm 13.
See, what I do is to start walking, eat more proteins and vegetables. Also, start lifting weights. When walking, start walking, than jogging, than a little bit of running. You'll get the used to it.
Cardiovascular exercise with a mixture of musculature activities should do the trick - basically mix in intensive examples of running, skipping, pushups, situps, and a bunch of other exercises (such as squats) - these may all seem basic, but do them with enough vigour and they should do the trick.
Cardiovascular is basically to work off any and all fat gained by eating anything, being one of the most intensive activities known to man, and musculature is to get those muscles going.
i got the running part done, i do 9 laps in 20 minutes at my school on Fridays and 2 laps around my school Mondays so running part is all good for now, i have to work on my push-ups and sit-ups
Perhaps something to add to this would be the "lift weights" part of the tips, instead of exercises.
--Figure out how much you can lift, first off all, and do a little bit less.
-- Afterwards, get those weights and do some curls. Sit on somthing, like your bed or a chair, put your arm down and lift up. Do about 3 sets of 20 reps during the whole exercise, for each arm. When you are done with one set, take a break and do nothing with that arm for a while. Work on a different part of your body next.
-- Next, take those weights, stand up and put them over the back of your neck. Bend your arms as far down as you can, then bring them slowly upward, until your arms are high in the sky. Repeat for about 15-20 reps, 3 sets as well.
--Next exercise is for your pectorals, aka your chest. Take those same weights, outstretch your arms from side to side, and then pull them towards the opposite side and repeat. This means you take your left arm and push it as far to the right side as possible, and vice-versa. If your weights collide, you're doing it wrong. Try to alternate; make one arm overlap the other, then switch.
--Bench pressing is next. Do these as much as you can before you feel the strain. Make sure you have a checker so he can pull the weights off you so you don't hurt yourself.
--push ups. 20 per set is a good amount. Don't listen to your stupid, female teacher. 100 a day is fine enough.
--Move slowly with each rep. This is not a speed contest to see how fast you can perform each rep. Slow, steady movement insures your muscles get as much stimulation as possible.
--If you cannot do the number of reps listed here, then do less amounts of weight. Don't push yourself to the max; that only makes your muscles rip, causing severe injury. If you can do 10-20 reps for the weights used, then you're doing a good job.
-- Lift weights every other day. Give your muscles a rest. Do this, or do a different section of your muscles each day. Focus on arms one day, and maybe your chest and legs the next.
-- Don't do the same exact combination of exercises for the times you lift weights. your body will adapt to the schedule and not get as much stimulation this way. jumble up your list of exercises.

That's great that you have a place to run, I usually do it in the woods behind my house. There's paths though. Don't worry.
Yeah, height, weight and body adiposity would be handy things to know.
Aerobic exercise for fitness' sake is not as efficient as High-Intensity-Interval-Training... provided your body can handle the latter. HIIT consists of getting your heartrate up to maximum for a couple of minutes, then backing off for a couple of minutes, and repeating the process a few times. 10 minutes of HIIT would do as much for your cardiovascular fitness as 2 hours of aerobic cycling.
Current wisdom states that the optimum heart rate for fat-burning is 65% theoretical maximum (that being 220 - your age in years). If that confuses you, aim for about 140bpm and just go for it.
If you're looking for those washboard abs, you'll need to get your body fat percentage (by mass) down to about 10%.
And final take-home message from me... girls generally dig good tone more than muscle bulk.
