I don't think I'm fat just a little flabby on my arms and thighs. I've got a baby tummy too. But it's going away. Been working out for 34-35 days now. I'm taking protein now.

I work on my arms twice a week, thighs(most squatting&stretching 2-3times a week, cardio (skipping, walking up&down the stairs 20x's) & hula-hooping every single day, and tummy every alternative days.

My baby tummy is going down. My curves are more obvious now. Is it normal if ur tummy doesn't go down even after working out for a month? I'm sure it takes months of
Months of time to get rid of it completely right?

I asked my guy fren who works out and etc. he told me protein is suitable for everyone. It isn't gender bias.

I guess Asian girls are just paranoid of lifting even just a little bit of weights right? That's d main reason why we seldom
See Asian girls with toned up body.

:/

SORRY PEPS, DIDN'T REALISE MY TYPO. SUPPOSED TO BE 6 TIMES A WEEK. OMG. LOL -___-

tummy takes the longest to go, be patient.. yes protein isn't gender bias, asian girls are afraid that the protein might give them muscles instead of curves, that's all.

6 times a day???

6 times a day?!

I'm sure that's a typo, but anyway. Just stay consistent and you'll get your results.

no it wasn't a typo.. i work out 6 times a day and it has been a month now. lol. not joking. i kinda got the determination after a heart break to work out consistently. A little sad but working out makes me healthier and it boost up my confidence even more. That's why i chose to take protein now..

Will work out hard for at least 3 months. Then i'll maintain to 3 times per week. haha. It's not wrong to work out 6x's a week right?

i think its overkill. you're better off doing more intense workouts once a day, and as many days in a week as you can manage.

If my body can manage 6 times a week, then it shouldn't be a prob right? haha. I'm don't lift crazy weights tho. Just normal 4lb dumb-bells. I hit the gym once a week to lift real weights (up to 10kg at least) My fren personally knws a girl who has nice curves and she has lean muscles. She does yoga, cardio and even lift weight all 3 at the same time. She works out 3 times a week and takes protein. As for me, I'm not that intense I do what my body is capable of doing. Say 100 crunches-120 crunches. If I can't do more than 100, I'll stop. I do what my body tells me to do. If my muscles feel really stiff, i'll stop doing after a couple of times. It's okay right? lol

Added on November 27, 2011, 11:35 pmAlrighty. thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes I get discourage. But i still manage to convince myself. lol. I told myself that maybe i've lost few inches/ cm it's just that I myself didn't realise that i've been losing that few cm's.

6 times a day or a week? Anyway, I don't mean to be rude but for now stop listening to your body because 100 crunches won't bring you anywhere



Let me give u this scenario , every time you work out you're tearing down your muscle fibres , imagine rubbing a sand paper to your palm, you keep tearing down your muscle fibres without resting, equivalent to rubbing the sand paper again and again before your palm even have a chance to heal. Do you think that is more harm done or good?

what to go channeling the heartbreak energy to exercises !! keep at it girl

Yes u r rite - according to a study quoted in Men's Health, u need 250,000 crunches to lose 1lb. of fat!

And rite again u are abt tearing dn of muscle tissues - i'm not sure but i think might be called catabolism.

A proper weight training regime with a good diet plan would be good enough to be losing weight. Heck, cardio could be omitted if the diet is clean enough.catabolismn is when your body has nothing to feed on and they turn to your muscle for energy because that is the easiest resource. To avoid that, eat every 2 - 3 hours

Oh man, and I thought you made a typo. razorboy's post explains why it IS a problem. Which is why it'd be much better to hit the gym 3, maybe 4 times a week, train muscle groups separately, let them rest, and then repeat it the next week.

Also, lifting really light weights isn't going to do anything.

Gotta know what you're doing when you're saying 6 times a day. What exactly are you doing in each of your 6 workouts a day? Just curious.
The guys got the other areas covered.

That's right. Noted with many thanks guys! ! I won't strain my muscles with such intense workout anymore. Thanks a lot!

Added on November 28, 2011, 12:20 amYeah thanks. noted. But i work on different parts every now and then.
I don't work on the same parts every single day.

Abs every now and then because according to my guy fren who has awesome abs and arms.. he told me that stomach muscles heal the fastest.
I work on my arms twice a week.
And my thighs 3 times a week.
Cardio every single day. What i do for cardio: skip the rope 200-300 times, walk up&down the stairs for 20 times and I hula hoop for 20 mins a day.

List down your routine and diet plan

hey TS,make sure your BMI is within the normal boundaries 18.5 to 24.5

My daily routine, I eat, sleep, workout go to college, study, and sleep. lol

My diet plan : I take protein early in the morning, I eat wholemeal grain bread and a glass of low fat milk for breakfast,
as for lunch I take mainly carbs and protein eg: Noodles/ rice+chicken/fish, for snack I blend my very own fruit juice/ yogurt juice, after my workout in the evening i take another round of protein and proceed to dinner. No rice for dinner. I'll either be taking wholemeal bread or merely eating vegetables, chicken dishes cooked by my grandma.

I spoil myself once/ twice a week : Dessert/McD/ maybe rice for dinner.

That's my diet plan for this one month.

Muscles are muscles, they heal and build at the same rate.
I'm thinking too much ab work for a female, you don't want a midsection that's too thick. Get a proper training program that covers your whole body rather than certain parts like arms and thighs.

Im currently using Karena and Katrina's workout video. (ToneItUp)
I want to have those bodies. lol

Here are the videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ZTzUEtPTI&feature=relmfu (abs)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihok8WJnVd4&feature=fvwrel (arms)

These are really basics workout I would say. Will be doing this for this 3 months then I'll maybe lift more weights in the future.
I'm not aiming for packs but I'm aiming for nice, flat and toned up tummy. Yeap, I'll reduce on crunches once my baby tummy is gone.. haha. It's still there even after one month. =( It's crazy how u can gain so much of fat so fast and to get rid of it is like killing urself. It takes lots of time and consistency and most importantly discipline to really want a real result. =/
