i’m a 20 y/o college girl and i am skinny fat. i have only done sports as light hobbies my whole life and have never been big on physical exercise, plus have been mostly underweight my whole life too so that led to me not really feeling any need to exercise. i’ve gained weight the past few years & i just feel really unfit. i have relatively normal arms but am more bottom-heavy, i have a large stomach and bigger thighs and calves. i’m a petite asian girl and i’ve heard that skinny fat is most prevalent in asians and it’s unfortunately very true in my case.
so i’ve been trying to work out more at my gym and have been doing cardio/treadmill on incline for around 2 weeks now, and overall reaching 10k steps a day. i have fun with cardio but i see a lot of information telling me to do weights instead for skinny fat people. i’m willing to try but i just feel super unfamiliar with what to do and how to do it whereas the treadmill is simple— any advice? i also know i should look at diet as well but that is a little harder in my case because i eat on my school’s mealplan and it’s not the most healthy nor adjustable.
would appreciate any advice! i think because i’ve been such an inactive person so far cardio will be good for me overall even if it’s not super aligned with getting rid of skinny fat. walking makes me feel good so i like doing it. also, i’m roughly 108lb / 5ft, and bmi 21.1. when i tell people my weight they usually say i don’t need to worry about losing any, but realistically i am just much heavier than i was before and i would like to lose at least 10lbs, because it would make me more comfortable with my body again. i also really want a flat stomach lol. thanks!
