 best way to lose weight
I have been working out for a long time now, I would say about 8 years. I am 23 years old, but I started early doing aerobics and running because of my mom. ANYWAY, I have never been extremely fit LOOKING, the way that I felt inside. I have never had a nice flat stomach or the chiseled look and right now, that is what I am working on. I had started lifting heavily about 3 months ago, but slowly, I am increasing in size (legs, arms, even waist) so I quit lifting a week ago. I don't want to get big, I want to look really sleek and fit. I know girls aren't supposed to get big, but I am abnormally strong for a female and I also get bulky pretty quick.
I started running more and I'm wondering if you all think this is an approach that may work. Before this week, I would run 45 minutes about 3 to 4 days a week and lift on my whole body twice a week......Now, I want to run 5 days a week and maybe lift weights once on the weekend, to maintain tone. I am 5'5" and 134 pounds and would like to drop my weight to 120 or 125ish. My body fat percentage is 19.7%, which I know is not a lot, but I dont feel THAT muscular. I feel like 134 is a little heavy for my height.
Thanks for your help!  |
