sup /fit/

I'm trying to get a really skinny, petite, curvless, muscleless [for the most part, not literally] body. Track and Field is almost over for me, so this summer I'll be able to form my own work out routines. This year I've only lost about about none to two pounds or so.

5'3/119-120lbs, small torso, hippo thighs. [pear shaped body]

So, I don't care about being toned, I already am btw. I just want to be smaller. I have a lot of muscle in my thighs and ass, but you can't tell because of the fat [barely any cellulite]. They don't look toned to you but they are.

What do you recommend I eat and exercise? Should it come to the point where I deprive myself from dinner, and eat only a healthy breakfast and lunch? It's EXTREMELY hard for me to lose weight since I'm not that big.

replace breakfast and lunch with pop tarts and eat a regular dinner

Your thighs aren't that bad actually. How old are you? I'm assuming highschool or college? And yea squats will help you a shit load.

I'm the exact same with the exact same problem!!! So, I went to college in the mountains, and all the stair climbing really works. Stair climbing, squats (srzly), Cycling, Kick boxing (its amazing), and Just cut down your fat intake and up protein. You'll be fine :-) I know I was.

OP, if you look at that picture and see hippos and pears, then I think you need to focus more on the health of your mind than your body.

God fucking dammit.


So you want to work out.

There are three very basic components: Exercise, Diet, and Rest. Regardless of gender, weight, height, whatever, you're going to want to do all 3 of these properly if you want to lose weight, bulk up muscle, tone, anything.

Exercise burns calories and builds muscle. You obviously burn more calories if activity is more strenuous, but keep in mind that if you're just starting out sprinting for a minute burns less calories than keeping up a jog over a half hour. Exercise builds muscle by making miniature tears into your muscles (this causes soreness), which are mended and rebuilt after exercise, during rest.

Two main types of exercise: Cardio, and lifting. Cardio is designed to burn calories, while lifting generally builds muscle. Any cardio works - as long as your heart rate's up and you go as long as you can, you're building up stamina. These exercises are roughly equivalent, depending of course how much effort you put into each:

60min Recumbent Bike
60min Jogging, flat surface
60min Weighted Powerwalking, inclines
30min Jogging, inclines
30min Normal biking
30min Aerobics
20min Jump Rope
20min Running, flat surface
15min Running, inclines
15min Jumping Jacks
15min High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

Keep in mind you can easily mix and combine these workouts for an overall better burn based on your own shape.
>> Hammerknife !7ITukp3Pj2
Now that your heart rate is up, you can go into lifting. Look up an anatomy or a basic fitness book to get an idea of how your muscles work. Muscles are only 'exercised' by contracting, which is why all muscles are paired. When lifting, you have to work out both muscles in a pair and keep it balanced, or else you can have one of those fuckups where you're hunched over because your trapezius isn't strong enough to lift your bulked up pecs.

Before lifting, do some quick stretching. Stretching will reduce soreness and reduces the chance of a full muscle tear, especially if you don't know what you're doing.

Find a bunch of combination exercises (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercises.htm) with free weights, and combine those into a workout with isolation exercises based on what muscle group you want to focus on. Push-ups and pull-ups are the standard for full-body exercise. Squats, full situps or crunches work as well. Lifts are divided into sets of 'repetitions', where you can do (for example) three 'sets' of 15 'reps' of a bicep lift. Generally you want to gradually increase your total amount of reps as you get stronger. If you're looking to bulk up, increase the amount of reps in a set while either decreasing the number of total sets you do or using heavier free weights. To tone and lose weight, increase sets and decrease reps/use lighter free weights.

Now after you've worked out, you need to rest. Your muscles will be sore, sore muscles do not build if you keep working them out. Muscles need time, protein, and carbs to mend all those small tears I mentioned earlier, so lifting again within the next 12 hours is a waste of time and can damage your muscles.
>> Hammerknife !7ITukp3Pj2
The ideal workout schedule for most people is a daily cardio exercise to get your heart rate up and burn calories, followed by stretching. After stretching, do weight lifting every *other* day to tone muscles or bulk up. If you're not sore and tired, you can at least do some cardio that day. STICK TO YOUR SCHEDULE. Missing a day leads to missing the next day leads to slippery slope leads to weighing 400 pounds and benching 90. You can NEVER AFFORD TO MISS A WORKOUT.

Finally, diet. There is quite frankly no need to fuck around with hippie food or any of the 'low fat' 'low carb' garbage you see. Cut out all junk food and fast food, cook things yourself or at relatively healthy restaurants, and most importantly WORK OFF ALL YOU EAT. You can chow down on steaks every day as long as you do enough exercise to work it off, i.e. don't overeat. Stay away from fried stuff, fast-food, HFCS (sodas in particular). Chow on steaks, healthy burgers, fruits, vegetables, rice, mashed potatoes, whatever.

Happy working out, and remember ultimately it's willpower that loses weight, this is just a guide to using it. Ideally, you'll have a friend or significant other giving you some motiviation, either by insulting your fat ass or giving you treats.

And remember, this is a general guide. Some people will tell you to lift before cardio, some people will tell you to use barbells exclusively or machine circuits. All I'm saying is that this worked for me, and I used to fit the profile of most anons. It may not work for you, the best workout would be something tailormade by a personal trainer.

You're in the wrong thread, you dumbfuck tripfag copypasta troll.

The girl was in T&F and is already fit and active. This is not a "I used to be skinny when I was 11, but now I'm 27 and fat. What do I do /fit/?" thread.

First step: Your body image problems, fix them.

Second step: See a doctor/nutritionist and get a diet for building muscle.

Third step: Lift weights, MOAR SQUATZ (seriously), no you won't build massive amounts of muscle, it's very hard for men and you have one tenth of the testosterone, you won't get very big at all.

Then I would say join a gym. Any place that has a decent weight room and a little place for cardio that isn't to expensive.

OP here:

FYI I do lunges, high kness, and butt kicks like 5 days per week in addition to calf exercises. They don't do shit. I doubt doing squatz will do anything.

I swear to you, I'm already in shape even though it doesn't look like it. My core is very strong and I have a high endurance level.I don't want to "get tone" I want to decrease in volume.

I hate when girls with perfect bodies try to achieve an anorexic look. Being fat and trying to slim down is one thing, but this is just fucking stupid.

God you're a stupid girl...

Being "toned" is a state of having some muscle mass with very little fat. If your ass doesn't look toned because of the fat, THEN IT ISN'T TONED! Yes I'm sure that lardass you never talk to is extremely toned under all that fat...

Run, or eliptical, or whatever. A lot. Do fewer SQUATZ (!?!?!?!?!) rly!!!!!!!

there's an article about this on t-nation, but i can't find it.

basically, you want to do shit that is as catabolic as possible. women don't put on nearly as much muscle as men do, but they can put it on, especially with high reps.

you should still eat maintenance diet, though...

Eye of the beholder, OP. But I commented on focusing on the health of your mind because your posts sound a bit obsessive, which is a worse condition than having a bit of unwanted fat on your body.

You really do look pretty thin-- I don't think it counts as love handles if the waistband of your panties is visible all the way round.

In my opinion, you should exercise this summer in whatever way gives you the most pleasure. Don't do it because you want to kill fat or batter your uncooperative body into submission. Exercise, moderately, for enjoyment.

When you're not doing that, find something else to do that gives you pleasure. Read a whole fuckload of books this summer. Get your hands dirty in the garden. Write a book. Learn a new language. Have a lot of sex. Learn to weld. Learn to weld while having a lot of sex. Whatever.

Anything. But don't spend a few minutes poking your body in the mirror and then go out and spend hours punishing it at the gym or on the road.

Please, please, please, don't listen to the advice on squats. Whatever they say, you can't spot reduce. You just can't. The idea of cardio is to exhaust your immediate energy systems, pushing into what's called the oxidative phosphorylative system. This is where you use more oxygen and burn fat.
For the most part, any type of exercise that makes you breathe heavy/feel out of breath is probably pushing into your OP system.
I can help, but it's good to know what you want for performance...

There are plenty of ways to just get rid of fat, but why not choose something that'll also help with something else.

Do you want to run well? Do you want high jumping?
What do you do in your free time and stuff. Let me know what you want performance wise and we can start from there. Thanks

Yeah I gotcha, thanks for looking out.
However it doesn't necessarily imply muscle gain. It could be "muscle memory", or CNS (Central Nervous System) adaptation more than anything else. It really depends, that's why I hope she can give me some ideas of what she wants.
