I feel like I'm the only one that can notice change in my body?

[BlueEyedHipsta]

I've been working out for about 3 weeks now every day doing about 15min of exercise. When I look at myself in the mirror I can see slight changes in tone and my abdomin feels a lot more firmer. But I don't think it's enough for anyone to notice?

First two pictures are from the day I started and the last two are from a few minutes ago, I know it's not a great photo and bad lighting but it's all I had.

Can you notice anything.

Plus how to I work out my lower abdomin I've tried the reverse sit up but all I get is my legs clicking like crazy and feels like the work out is mainly situated in my thighs, I only feel a very slight bit of work on my lower abdomin

You're doing everything right.. you're starting slow (15 minutes a day) and you're paying attention (photos/mirror) so here's all I would add...

1) Yes, I can see the changes. They're small but you should be proud!

2) Changing your body is a balance between exercise and diet. Exercise will strengthen and tone, and diet will trim and maintain. So make sure that you're efforts in the gym aren't wasted by ignoring diet.

3) When you're feeling strong enough I would recommend a personal training for a few weeks. They offer them free at the local colleges that teach personal fitness (students learning need clients) and consider watching YouTube videos for tips... bodybuilding. com offers amazing free videos for anyone learning about the human body.

4) There's no such thing as post reduction. You can't do situps and think it'll burn belly fat. The body removes fat evenly and from it's own preferences. Women lose fat in their ass, boobs and hips last... and men lose it in their belly's last. It's genetics. So if you want to trim your belly situps aren't the cure (but they help posture and core strength!) ... it'll come down to diet and overall body fat loss.

5) When it comes to working out stick to basics... weights one day, cardio the next. Weights help tone and strengthen, cardio builds heart and lungs and burns fat.

6) Diet is simple... only eat meat, fish, eggs, meat with veggies, rice, sweet potatoes, and beans (not sweet baked beans in a can) Basically anything that's on a farm is okay. Cut everything else that's processed, like sugars, breads, cereals, etc. If you're feeling weak, eat more rice or fruit.

7) Don't drink your calories, so no sugary pops or milks or juices. They are baaaaad.

8) For abs: www.bodybuilding.com/.../...ed-to-stop-making.html

Keep up the good work, you should be proud!

There is a slight difference but when it comes to working out it takes 2 to 3 months to truly see changes that others will notice.

You'll need to start increasing your exercise time as you want to be doing at least half an hour after a short warm up. Find a variety of exercises to do and just enjoy yourself. Look at getting small bits of equipment if you workout at home as you'll be able to work out far better with a couple of tools.

It's going to take more than 3 weeks to see a huge change. Working out and getting your dream body will take months. Not weeks. That's why so many people end up flaking or stopping. You can see the changes and that's all that matters. If you keep this up, then I'm positive that after another few weeks others will notice too. If you can, you should try to aim for more than 15 minutes a day. I workout daily for almost a hour sometimes 45 minutes. Everything helps. Every minute so I'm not downplaying you or anything. But 15 minutes seem quite short for a workout to me.

I'm starting out small, as if I go fully into it I will ache for days and it'll make me want to stop,

When you notice something, other people will too. Because you see yourself every day, and therefore the little changes that sum up don't surprise you.

Nevertheless, try maybe doing 30-45min every 2nd day, it's about the same amount of time. BUT better results, as you show you body that it really needs to get fitter to endure those exercises you keep torturing it with. There are some great home workout on the YouTube channel "FitnessBlender"! Check them out, and pick a few and alternate between them. It will work a lot better than 15min every day.

The lower abdomen muscles are connected to your quads (upper leg muscle in the front), so weak quads = weak lower abs. Try leg lifts (or did you mean them by reverse sit up?), that's the best home exercise for the lower part. To feel it in the abs, you need to keep the form of the exercise! Your back MUST be flat and on the ground all the time. No arching/twisting hips allowed. You need to do them slowly in order to maintain control over your hips.

About the progress, after 3 weeks hardly. But trust me, fitness is the only one thing in life where progress will come 100% if your work for it. So don't quit, try follow my advice, get your motivation together, and in 2 months you'll be happy like fuck that you didn't quit.

small but yes there is, there is an app called runtastic sixpack, it can provide you with an scheldule and is fun to use, every day will push you a little and will give you tips, is even free and you can share opinions with friends. There is also for pushups and many things, is free you should check it out.

Of course you will feel better and feel stronger but unless your really working hard to drop weight you can't get results in just 3 weeks. I can't really tell going by your pics and the one on the far right you turned. But keep working hard and don't quit

The reason why you see the small changes is because you investigate your body closely. Other people don't get close to your body and start inspecting it. So they don't notice the small differences.

I don't see a change, tbh.
