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.

:/

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?

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.

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.

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.

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. =/

Currently using these 3 videos to carry out my work out routine:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYMw1K_vEd4...=watch_response (thighs)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ZTzUEtPTI&feature=relmfu (abs)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihok8WJnVd4&feature=fvwrel (arms)

I will focus on other parts and lift more weights after 3 months. Shall work on basic first ya?

Added on November 28, 2011, 1:48 amCuz my schedule is pretty pack this semester. Most probably I'll only start hitting the gym more frequent next yr around Feb. I have only 3lb and 4lb dumb-bells at home. so yea..

Added on November 28, 2011, 2:59 am"its funny when a girl has a blur moment we all laugh it off
when a guy does that here....oh boy lol." ;D hahaha this sentence made me laugh! Lol. But it's true. very well said. Sorry for my blurness tho. I didn't realize it until much later when my fren told me about my typo. Not sure why my brain processes and digests a week as a day. -.- Haha.

Anyway, thanks a lot for ur piece of encouragement there. It means a lot. I'll do what I can do at my level best .

Hi razorboy, I'll try to incorporate what u've said earlier. Thanks for the long reply. Will take note on what u've said. Thanks again. btw, is it okay to consume protein even if u don't work out?

Yeah on non training days

Alright, thanks for the advise razorboy.

This is getting really confusing! Lol. I'm eating moderately now 4-5 meals a day. Mostly on wholegrain/oat Bread with eggs, Plus skim milk n low fat yogurt. I take rice once in awhile. Not much. Managed to work on my shoulders& chest with 9kg weight now. I've added burpees into my cardio training. Drink protein twice a day. Just bought two tubs of VPX whey protein today. Haha. I think protein helps me in many ways. I've gained weight btw, not that im getting fatter. But I think I'm building more muscles, thus the increase.

Okay! Noted. One more thing, should I work on one part per day or work on chest, arms and shoulders all in a day? Full body workout works best or part by part? Nt wanting to be bulky. I only want nice curves.. Haha

I skip the rope alternative days. I do burpees for 10mins alternative days too. Cycle n jog once a week. Walk up n down the stairs 20x's. What's ur advise on upper part? One part a day or full upper part one
Go?

And does rubber band stretcher helps? I bought those Pilates bands.. Easy, medium and hard bands. The elasticity of those bands is really strong.

Ok noted. Will use those bands during my finals. I've been lifting 4lb dumbbells at home. I have 3 lb, 4lb,!those rubber band stretchers and a pair of weighted gloves. I hit the gym not so often but when I do I lift 9kg weights. Will hit the gym more often. Getting few guy partners to guide me with those weights. Not sure which equipments are
For which part. So yeah.. Haha.
