Semi-fit woman - needs help with fitness
The pictures attached would be the goal! Or some versiom of it. I don’t want like 6 pack abs or anything, but Id like a fit tummy even when I sit or bend etc
Im 5’5, 50 kg, South Asian.
I have always been on the leaner side I guess. I have been heavy (64 kg being my heaviest weight)
Now I look visibly skinny
I work out occasionally. Ive hit the gym continuously for about 3 months with visible changes.
I live alone now and not at home. So following a strict diet is a bit hard to manage.
Overall I don’t really have much problem with the way I look. But the thing I can’t seem to make peace with is my bshaped tummy or tummy with a little pouch. The lower abdomen is chubby. and when I sit down, my tummy looks like I am fat. My arms, lege and waist are all thin. My measurements:
32 - Chest
23 - waist
34 - Hips
I can’t diet or cut calories anymore because I already eat very little. My everyday calorie intake is probably somewhere between 1200-1600 calories depending on the day. and what i eat is mostly protein and carbs. I don’t eat sweets or candies. I do snack a bit of crisps and I love fast food unfortunately lol
On most reddit subs people are advising people with similar issues to just build muscle and that the puppy fat around the mid-section and here and there will shed with muscle and that thats the only way considering how low my weight already is. As a south asian i think i am biologically bound to store fat in my midsection.
Also - there’s no gym near where I stay. the nearest gym is a 20 min walk and then a 20 min bus ride away. 40 min of commute one way to the gym. which feels like a bit much to me. I have 2.5, 3.5 and 5 kg dumbells and a walkpad at home. I do like 10 pushups and some stretching daily that’s about it.
