How to prevent showing ribs?

[MissNobody]

Are there exercises to build muscle around these areas so my ribs are less visible? It's not only my ribcage but you can also see ribs in my chest area under my clavicle (like this: link ) and also at my back... I think it's really unattractive and hate this about my body so is there a way to do build muscle around these areas so it makes them less visible?

You need to gain a little weight. That much bone showing is a physical sign that your body is underweight. It is good to have hip bones and collar bones showing, also depending on your body your ribs may show a little. But if your breast bone and back bones are significantly showing that's a sign you need to gain some weight. In a comment you said you're 5'7 and 125? If that's so then you're at the very bottom of your weight range. The actual healthy weight for a female that is 5'7 is around 140lbs

Look so people keep on telling me to gain weight it doesn't work trust me I've been trying for about 3 years now the best way is, is to check with a doctor that's who's going to help you or maybe pyhsio to tell you what exercises you should do.

If you find out... Let me know. As I lose fat and even build more muscle, mine are still poking out!

I notice as I increase my bench and work that more often, it looks a little better. Same goes for lat pulldowns. You're probably gonna have to eat a little more, too.

are you underweight or just boney? Because the obvious would be gain muscle/fat. My collar bones stick out no matter what size I am, people have commented on them before but I think bones look really beautiful, I wish my hipbones would show!

I've a healthy weight (125 at 5'7) so I don't want to gain fat : ) My hipbones are showing and I assure you that you don"t want that! I'ts anoying because you can see it through dresses... and some belts can cause irritations because it scrapes over them.

You don't have any muscles around your rib cage so you can't really build any muscles to hid them. You need to put on fat. That's not to say just eat everything but go heavy on carbs especially before bed. The weight will stick in time. Eat sleep eat sleep repeat.

Working core muscles with a medicine ball or flys with heavier weight would quickly build up muscle in your obliques if you're not starving yourself!

There is.

Eat more. Healthy not always means less.

Also that picture is a striking example of an anorexic girl.

But I still think bones are healthier than fat rolls...

I've a healthy weight I think I'm just 'big' boned.

Bones showing are not healthy - it's a dead giveaway for being severely underweight. Healthy weight means your bones don't show but that you also don't have rolls of fat - it's the midway.

i don't think its big problem, if you feel unconfortable just use dresses that closes the area. however some mens find such ladies more sexy tho'

I don't have a problem with my ribs like that but I have really big ribs so the bottom ribs stick out a lot and you can see my ribs. I don't know any way to get rid of it besides just gaining weight.

Some men find ribs highly arousing, though I'm more of a kidney man myself.

[Konnour]

Ignore this idiot.
