Im 5'9", female, and weigh in at 141 lbs. My waist measures (comfortably ha) at 30 inches (not sucking in). I could stand to loose somewhere from 5-10 lbs and as I know I cannot spot reduce, I'm wondering what the best type of
diet would be to benefit
weight loss on the abdominal region (lower, upper, and obliques)?
Also- what types of
exercises give the best defining results?
I am not on a countdown or time frame but, like everyone, I would like the results to come as quickly as they can (healthily). To give you an idea of my current routine: I work out every morning usually and sometimes nights as well- so about 4/5+ times a week. I use the bicycle machine alot and occasionally the
treadmill- both usually for about 30 minutes at a time, alternating between going fast for 2 minutes and then moderate-slow for 1 minute as I heard this helps the metabolism (misconception?). I also do somewhere from 100-400 crunches a day and pikes.
I have a small breakfast- usually a half a bagel with some cream cheese and a piece of fruit. I work most of the day from then on until about 5/6ish so I don't end up eating very much at all during those hours. Dinners can be large for me- pasta, roast chicken, ect.
Thanks for your responses, good and bad!
