What would you think if your girlfriend tried to get in shape/tone up when she's already petite? Is this body type appealing? Girls opinions too!?

[MissConfused93]

I'm all of 110 lbs and 5'4" but I'm not as toned as I'd like to be.

Every time I complain about my weight/body my boyfriend gets angry at me and tells me to shut up haha.

Basically I want to get like a VS body (only much shorter!). It might be achievable since I'm already thin, or would this be too much? I feel like if I start to work out that's what my body would look like whether I wanted it to or not.

Also, what are the chances of my breasts shrinking in size? I'm a C and don't want to lose them

Thanks in advance!

Any exercise recommendations are welcome too.

It's up to you what you want and what you like. Remember that it is your body and as long as you are healthy, I don't think it should be a problem. There is a chance of you losing cup size if you do more cardio. If you focus on workouts that make you lose weight and burn fat you will only get thinner and lose in your chest also (breasts are fatty). If you want to tone your body you need to focus on technique and how much you are lifting rather than cardio. Don't rush the work outs and make sure you do them in the proper techniques to get the result you want. For example if you want more toned arms , don't lift a weight that is too big, I usually lift 15 and do more reps<- This defines muscle. Instead of a 25/30 with less reps <- That puts on the bulk. So figure out what works for you.

Problem is I can't do any weight training unless it's like 3lb weights. I've got scoliosis and one of my vertebra isn't bone it's half cartilage. Thank you for the advice though. Very helpful!

[Metal189]

Don't really pay all that much attention to medical stuff but have they found a cure for scoliosis yet. I doubt it but I know lots of things have been having great advancements. Is surgery a possibility?

[MissConfused93]

Nope. My scoliosis itself isn't that bad, it's the vertibrae that kills me. No procedure can turn cartridge into bone yet. I've had X-rays done numerous times and see a chiropractor to deal with it.

[MissConfused93]

Oh and also my problem is that it's an extra one too. Can't extract it so my spine can't really be straightened; it's too long and would have no place to go hahaha

[ViviT]

Perhaps you should just take it easy. Maybe what your boyfriend is worried about isn't your appearance but your health. And I think that comes first no matter how you want to look. I'm not saying give up on what you want but please, put your health first and make sure you go about things the best way possible if you wish to proceed.

[WeaponZero]

Tone comes from a combination of building muscle and achieving a relatively low bodyfat. Cardio alone won't get you there. Most girls focus too much on the fat burning and not enough on the muscle building. The end result is that the only way to achieve the level of "tone" they want is to go to an unhealthily low weight.

[MissConfused93]

Yeah I'm already a really ow weight and I want to build muscle not just lose fat so I know I can't do just cardio. If all I did was cardio and lose weight i would look like a bag of bones and it would be gross.

[WeaponZero]

If that's the case then you should increase your overall calorie intake and add weight training to your regimen. High intensity weight training.

[paxtonfun]

If you are at a healthy weight you could strive for a better fitness level and not focus so much on looks so your health will increase and the looks will improve inevitably. Running and body weight exercises core training would be a good way to go if you can do it with your medical conditions

[kittyforlife]

Running is a sure fire way to lose your boobs, and butt (if you have one) just saying.

[MissConfused93]

Don't have a butt just boobs unfortunately haha

[cavmanier]

An ex gf of mine was 5'4 110 pounds with a C cup and her body was pretty amazing. That's what drew me to her. I remember she called me awhile after our breakup and told me she now she "has a butt." I was polite but cringed a little bit because I thought her body was really amazing before. You sound fine to me but whatever. Not all guys have my taste though so I can only speak for myself.

[theyakc]

If you don't like your body, work to make it better. Sounds like your bf doesn't care though, so don't do it for him. Do it for you. If you feel better about yourself, I'm sure he'd be happier.

[MissConfused93]

I don't HATE it, but I could strive to be better.

[MissConfused93]

Thanks for your opinion.

[theyakc]

Also I don't know what a VS body is, but there aren't really any bad exercises as long as you're doing them right. I like to do whatever feels good at the time, and try to keep it balanced.

[MissConfused93]

I posted links haha was a tad late in the game.

[theyakc]

Oh gotcha, victoria's secret. Yeah I'd just do whatever feels right. Mostly aerobic exercises. They strengthen and tone muscles without growing them.

[Metal189]

He gets upset because he likes you the way you are. I would complain too if all you ever did was complain about your body. It would make me think that's ALL you care about

[MissConfused93]

It's not and he knows that! I very occasionally make comments and he knows I'm mostly happy with it. I replied to the scoliosis thing on the other answered comment also.

[Metal189]

Even if you don't do that, I still think he would think it is

[Anonymous]

Wow! If you looked like either of those girls but with C cups that's be pretty awesome!
