How much reps and sets should a 14 year old do with a 20 lb dumbell?

It really would depend on what exercise you're actually doing with the dumbbell. 20 lbs is pretty heavy for a person just beginning weight lifting. Be sure that you've been trained how to properly do whatever exercise. Maintaining proper form during an exercise is critical to increasing muscle mass- if you aren't exercising the proper muscle group, you can't expect to see gains. You might want to consider purchasing an adjustable dumbbell, which will let you adjust the weight you're using to a particular exercise. Also, as you improve, you'll be able to increase the weight you're using without having to go out and buy another dumbbell.

How do you do weight lifting to lean muscles?
Lift four days a week and group workouts together like this: back and biceps, chest and triceps, legs, and shoulders. Each day, pick about 4 lifts to do for each muscle group. Do 3-4 sets of each exercise you pick and keep the rep range at about 16-20 reps per set. Use dumbells or kettlebells as opposed to barbells. Perform cardio after lifting, as this de-emphasizes bulk. Cardio should be at least 30 minutes, but no more than an hour, as you will start to burn your muscle off. Example workout: Monday: chest and triceps Dumbell Bench Press- 4 sets, 16-20 reps Dumbell Flies- 3 sets, 16-20 reps Cable Crossover- 3 sets, 16-20 reps Tricep Rope Pushdown- 4 sets, 20 reps Stair climber: 30 minutes on fat burn program.

It depends on your desired results. For getting stronger and bigger, use a lot of weight and low repetition. I would recommend 2-3 sets of 8 reps with however much weight you can handle for that amount. For getting more toned and gaining endurance, use low weight and high reps. I would recommend 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps.
How much exercise should a 12 year old have?
dont over-do it, but about 45 minutes a day, if you are doing 15 minutes of slow walking, that is not enough, try for about 45-60 minutes a day, if you want to get fit, walk to the bus or school or go to the gym or play a afternoon sport or go for a bike ride or get an areobics DVD. anything that gets you moving, i find that if you want to watch tv and excersise, do sit-ups for the whole ad break, but build it up dont just do a whole ad break at first, do one ad, then two, then three so on.
