Everyone thinks I'm skinny and quite healthy, which I agree I am, apart from one tiny problem, I have a tiny belly. This may sound really girlish, but it affects my self esteem, I don't go topless, if I do I need to pull my trousers just below my belly button and keep my belly sucked in hard so people don't notice.
I've been doing 40 mins treadmill and weights alternating each day for just over a month, and there are tiny improvements, but it's going quite slow. I have a protein shake after weights, should I give that up? Should I give up building muscle and concentrate on cardio?
I am totally free for a month, so I can pretty much do whatever exercise it takes to get this to go; have a cross trainer, weighs, bench, treadmill etc at home. I've got some important things going on in a month, and I'd like my body to look as good as possible then.
What do you reccomend?
I've attached the offending belly
Not exactly visible in the third pic, but you can slightly see some abs if I suck my belly in, which I do a lot!
What's your diet look like? What's your BMR? Calorie Macro's etc.?
#2 - A Good mix of Cardio and Weight training will yield better results than cardio alone. I take it your not really interested in the bodybuilding scene as much as getting rid of the fat. Search the forums for a beginner routine. I'd suggest 3 days/week splitting up body parts. Maybe Mon / Wed /Fri 30 minutes of cardio should be plenty.
You need to get your diet layed out so that you are burning more cals in total then you are taking in. Not too much too soon. 500 cal deficit is the standard starting ground. Sure you can lose 10 pounds a week if you wanted too, but a lot of it will be muscle, so do it the smart way.
