im 16, 5'8, 190 pounds. I dont know how to start exercising. Dieting however is simple but finding a way to do cardio without going outside (bad neighborhood) is hard to do. I'm a lifegaurd so i need to get back into shape for the summer. is there any good way to do cardio exercise indoors without special equipment. and further is there any better way to get rid of belly fat than by limiting my calorie intake to apx. 1500-2000 a 15 minute full body workout every other day. then a cardio workout every other day. Im not too knowledgeable about fitness so help me out haha. thank you.

the only way to get rid of fat is cardio. try some workout dvd's or download from the net, jump rope.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
