Workout advice- I don't wanna lose too much of my curves

[Anonymous]

I've recently started to work out again but I seem to be packing on the muscle without losing the fat :/ I eat pretty healthy but I'm busy and honestly I forget to eat sometimes- so I'm already gonna change that

Also I'm a really bad sleeper so I stay up all night and my hours are wacky and I'm trying to sort that too

My main goal is to loose about 15pounds or more up to 30 and tone my stomach and thighs

I'm 5-8 about 160

I'm very curvy 34gg-27-40 but I'd like to be 34gg-25-37or 38

I'm looking for exercises I can do at home- I don't have weights but I've got tones of heavy stuff in the house I could work with

So far I've been doing a lot of leg workouts and dancing, I've tried running but my stamina is in the gutter

Advice?

you said you started working out again, but what exercises are you doing?

I'd reccomend doing Squats and Lunges.

3-4 sets of Squats, high repetitions like at least 20 reps if you're only using body weight and then work your way up to 25, 30, and so on.

Also rest for short periods to keep your heart rate up. Somewhere around 60 seconds is good.

Same thing goes for the Lunges.

Do you have a jump rope at home?

You can burn way more skipping and in a shorter time, but it takes stamina lol. Cardio helps the process

Even a brisk walk for like 10 min is good.

I wouldn't touch any ab exercises for now. Leave those for when you get leaner.

You already eat healthy though, so that's good. Diet is King.

Yeah I did sit ups and leg lifts for two days and that was enough to make my pants tighter on top :/

I've been doing a lot of squats and lunges, and so far my legs are getting really strong and I can feel big muscles under the fat- jumping rope is a really good idea! Thanks

Keep on running/walking and swim as much as you could.

It's normal to put on muscle first and then your body will start losing the fat.

It sounds like you put on muscle easily also. I would suggest working out every day, but doing low intensity things like pilates and dancing is good.

If you lift weights you will probably get even bigger muscles based on your body type.
