Hi there i posted the same topic over the fitness area but since there are mostly guys over there i guess posting here would get more appropriate answers since this is the " girls club".

I never really spend time to work out or exercise,diet or do anything to make myself look fit cause i'm never fat.However i'm not the skinny type either,i'll still become fat if i overeat.So,like many other girls,if i don't look fat outside meaning all the fats are stored in my tummy.

Due to the recent part time job i'm working(which i need to show my skin quite a lot) i started to make myself sweat.My belly has significantly become tighter and smaller in a weeks time,but still it looks really uneven.I hope someone can give me some tips on how to get a belly like those japanese girls.Their belly look so flat,and the part below their flesh doesn't show any bones like mine.When i strecth,ughh the bones are showing.

Also another thing that i'm concerned over here is that i think my legs are growing bigger,probably muscles forming.What i do to sweat is by jog on the spot for 30 minutes and around 30 sit ups.I just don't want any muscles......T_T

Anyway thanks for reading!!

I'm not a pro in health and fitness but I've been running, weightlifting and doing barbell squats for quite a while but I still look like this...  sad.gif

So, what I'm trying to say is, it's not easy to grow leg muscles like that. It takes a long time of training (maybe at least 1 year) and the correct muscle part training to do that. Running wont make your legs become so big.

We are females so we don't have that much testosterone hormone to become as bulky as men unless you're taking those hormone pills...  hmm.gif

But for me, I think something like this

looks sexier than this...

I mean the legs! Don't look at the upper part..  blush.gif
Just my opinion anyway.

Back to the topic.. I'm not sure what look you're going for.. but 1 thing I can guarantee is your calves muscle wont become as big as male calves. I have a friend who has been running for a long time but dang her legs are looking so fine. Her legs have nice muscular shape. Not like long sticks. So I don't really get what you're worried of?  I bet your legs are looking fine..  smile.gif

Thanks for the response and the pictures.Hmmm i'm different from you,i'm really worried of having the muscles that you mentioned there.My legs are okay,i think it's swollen cause i run with bare legs(at home)and caused a lot of strain.The next day i woke up it's normal again.

But still....i thought the A picture is a lot nicer? haha sweat.gif

Hey hold on there ladies , Why would u want to prevent your muscles from forming ? Dont you realize that the muscles impart an irresistible curve to your legs ? Moreover it will assist you in more energy in the intercourse process translating to greater satisfaction on your part and on your partner. Moreover when you get pregnant you wont get all those troubles women have who are not physically fit.

I don't want the muscles like those body-builder muscles.

Sexual satisfaction? Hmmm i'll try haha

From what I read, there's no such thing as toning. It's actually to get more definition and firmer muscles. Just cause people always say, women should tone up and men should lift weights, they are actually the same.. Just that for us (female) who want to get firmer muscle but not bulking up, so we do lighter weights but more reps.  flex.gif

Another thing to to lose body fat..so, regular cardio exercise, consistent strength training and healthy, low-calorie diet should do the job.

But since you're saying that your bones are visible, means you're very skinny!?  blink.gif Are you?  .. I think you should eat more protein...  Chicken breasts, egg albumen etc etc.  laugh.gif

that's a very good info for me ,you know i'm such a noob here.I just learned the world "bulk up" yesterday.

my bones are showing for the you know,the side part.I'm never fat but i won't consider myself skinny,just that the fats are accumulated over my tummy i guess. More protein won't cause fat yah?

I know nothing about diet....i'm cutting down on carbs,and like usual,more veges and fibre.Eggs should be good and not adding fat ?

By the way,are you working in a gym centre or what you seem to know alot!

Thanks!

Hey...thanks for the insight,and yes i enjoyed reading it.I mean,reading up articles is a little bit too "articles" so i always prefer to read people's replies but of course la must do your own research.

I'm quite interested in your diet.All the while i'm just like a tong sampah,i can have cakes for breakfast,2 packet of nasi lemak++ and now i don't do that solely to reduce fats(though i don't think other areas except tummy has much difference) and my kitchen doesn't have food like yours.I think i kinda starved myself a bit in the noon and wait for mum to cook veges at night.Ahhh my diet is so messed up this days.For today,right after i wake up i begin my work out and i ate 2 soft boil eggs and off to the curve.I'm now back and i just ate 3 sausage....i think sausage contains lots of fats but haih i can't find other stuff to munch with.

So that's called rib cage...yah my rib cage is visible,so damn unsightly man....

So you have chicken almost everyday,won't protein make you go fat? I always have this idea that protein is for growing fat cause guys take in lots of protein when they are bulking up.

By the way,just bought a 2 lbs dumbbell, my arms and legs are fine,but i think i need to make my chest and back a little more solid.

What's rolled oats? any alternative for my a healthy diet? Cause starting next semester,i'll be having a lot of morning classes and i'll get really really tired and ended up eating foods from convenience stores. Actually i'm just wondering if you prepare your own food or anything,i never cook meat myself,i normally boil few cups of water with carrots and tomatoes and put some seasoning in it.

Gotta work out again after i'm back home at night

Bye!
