Daywalker Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hi Karen. - Do you go to a gym or train at home?- How often do you want to work out per week?- Do you have set days for work out? In general, begin easy and work up slowly. Too much in the beginning can spoil your motivation, your progress and even damage your joints (if you do far too much OR wrong exercises). I'd recommend a whole body workout that you can do 2-4 times per week, whenever you find the time. Including basic compound exercises, like squats, push ups, rows etc. For abs, i personally had the best results when training them everyday. Crunches are the best exercise by far. Good luck,Daywalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyQ Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hi Karen! Skinny fat -- I like that term. I was skinny fat for many many years, then I got fit & was in great shape, then I lost it all & got fat fat. Now I'm back on the path to get fit again. I've already gotten some good suggestions & made some progress since visiting this site. I'm sure you'll find it helpful too! Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlightlyBitchy Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 i'd be interested in the replies for this thread also.. i already do about an hour of cardio 6-7 days a week with some weights added in every other day, i'm wondering what kinds of things are ideal to eat in order to really get lean and cut....

RawFigure Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 My experience has been its not what you eat that makes you lean..its what you do not eat...more out than in..pure and simple. Right ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just stack those weights on. It is the only way to do it.Cardio is an important aspect of adding muscle and it is important for heart health if nothing else. Also need it for the bones, being female. Great Abs come from not only ab work outs, lower body fat...and # 1 factor...genetics !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
