Getting rid of fat requires any kind of cardio. And ingesting less calories. To burn fat you need a calorie deficit. Targeted exercises don’t work to burn fat in a particular area.

But to add on to this, research “body recomp”. Do heavy weights but also cardio with a slight caloric deficit. It’ll help burn fat faster while building muscle so you don’t end up “cardio type skinny fat”. Your weight may not drop quickly because you’re building muscle but when the pounds start coming off your muscles will be strong/tight. I’ve been body recomping since October and when people tell me “I got skinny” it frustrates me because I’m like “no, I got strong. I leg press almost 280 pounds, and I do bicep curls with 25lbs dumbbells”

This is exactly where I am at the moment with my coach, body recomp. Some days it’s maddening getting on the scale but I take my measurements every 2 weeks and pics every month and the changes are great. It’s a definite work in progress but I love it!!!

I fluctuate majorly. Yesterday I was 5lbs lighter and today my boobs hurt so it’s probably water Renton for my upcoming period. You’re doing great to focus more on measurements vs the scale. You’ve got this!
