Help me get in shape? (:

[Anonymous]

I'm 19, 5'7", and I weigh about 125 lbs. I think my thing is that I have basically zero muscle.. I'm just really soft all over and I don't like it. I just have a layer of fat all over me. I just bought the TIU diet plan, and I was wondering if I followed that, do half an hour of stretching, an hour of walking and/or the elliptical, and going to the gym for strength and/or doing a TIU workout everyday, do you think I could get rid of my flab by January? Any tips? (:

Just curious, but do you have any idea on how long it'll take me to see results? Or do you think I would see much of a change by January?

You want to build muscle? Work out with weights.

You should be doing it three days a week and depending on your goals you should either be doing full body workouts 3 days a week with moderate (but not light) weight or divide your workout days into days where you train different muscle groups and only do each muscle group once a week, working with very very very heavy weights.

The squat rack is your friend. Learn to love the squat rack.

ITS NORMALto have a layer of fat, and girls have a thicker one. You can get muscle from workin gout, but just dieting will just make you weaker if you aren't working out.

that's why I included the "do half an hour of stretching, an hour of walking and/or the elliptical, and going to the gym for strength and/or doing a TIU workout everyday," my goal is to get stronger and more toned, not skinny haha

You'll see some results by Januray but nothing dramatic for about 6 months

125lbs at 5'7" is very healthy! I don't think you need to lose weight but if you wanted to tone up just do a little strength training a couple times a week :) but your weight and height combo sound very healthy already!

5'7 and 125? I'm 5'5 and 220... if anyone needs tips its me :P but really for getting toned, weights are all you need. if you want to see faster results go on an all protein diet as well.

Take a more proactive role in grocery shopping, planning meals, cooking meals, and serving meals. If you let your mom make all the decisions then your health is in her possibly-incompetent hands.

NO MUSCLES.

Please no.

Please don't ruin your softness.

Haha aw! I'm not trying to get ripped or anything! I just have like chicken wings and stuff like that. And I want my booty and boobs to perk up some, and get a tighter belly. I still want to have curves and softness, I just don't want everything to bounce when I'm in a bikini :P sorry if that sounds gross..

wow I would absoluley love to be with a girl with all fat and no muscle ...

SOFT And Sexy .

[Asker]

You can still be soft and fit! Adding a little bit of muscle to hold things up can help define curve ha ha (:

Maybe you are right ... but I don't actually care if the girl has muscles or not.

If you want it ... just do some basic exercises ( like walking , cycling stuffs ) I am sure you would gain a little muscle by that .

Also, you can workout a little like 20-30 min .. ( don't workout more else you might get underweight ) .

Ask your friends and family members because they have seen you in person and they could tell you better .

[Asker]

I understand what you mean though haha, a lot of guys seem to think the same. I wouldn't wanna be a twig or a body builder

And thank you!
