You can exercise a lot, but it won't get you immediate results. I doubt either of you will win the bet. How do you decide who wins anyway? It doesn't sound like a good or fair bet.

Exercise is probably the way to go. Here's some quick tips:

Warm up
-Start by warming up large muscle sets to avoid cramps (leg lifts, twists, light jogging).
-Do some pushups or crunches to work arms and abs, but don't do to many in a row, take breaks with stretching in between.
-Do some heavier running, pace yourself for endurance rather than speed.
-Go back and stretch out the legs and arms.
-Do some more pushups/crunches, sets of 15, 3 sets.
-Cool off by stretching while laying down.

If you do this every day, or even every other day you will get stronger and more fit.

Feel free to rearrange/edit the schedule.

And... yeah.

Don't get in shape. Most likely you will get addicted to your slef, and turn into a douche.

But if you really want to get fit, you might want to run more then twice a week. Just do some sit ups, and pushups, and for christ sakes, don't kill your self.

One: (Start of Bodybuilding)
Start slow, OK? If you can't do it, don't.
Don't just abondon unhealthy foods. If you do, you will gain all weight back in 1 week. Eat the unhealthy in moderation.
Walk. Don't run. Walk.

Two: (Getting Closer)
Start jogging. Now stretch before you do jogging.
Cut down unhealthy foods to one pizza/ice cream per day.
Start small lifting.

Three: (Hardest Part)
Now, after 2 weeks of this shit, run. Sprint, stretch, go all out. Nothing else.


Four: (Keeping the Weight Loss)
Don't eat any unhealthy food. Keep the body, but don't be a douche.

Well, I would do at least 30min of cardio at least 3x a week
(e.g. treadmill, eliptical, etc.)
If you want abs (assuming you go to a gym) do A few reps on a heavy weight on the crunch machine. If you want to tone, do alot of reps, but a lighter weight.
Don't forget, though, never work the same muscles the same way for at least 1 day or so.
