What I think you should do is get your Body Fat Percentage tested, most sports gyms can do this. Its just at 116lbs you'd expect your waist to be smaller than that, and you could have a high body fat percentage. If you do, maybe you could concentrate on lowering that instead of losing pounds. That way you know your losing fat, not wasting away muscle.
Have you ever considered doing weight training? I'd say start doing that 3-4 days per week (look up resistance training on google), and just eat healthy foods with complex carbs and proteins.
You definatly dont need to lose any weight. |
thanks for the advice!
i had it tested, i have around 22%
body fat. i don't think that's very good, is it? may i also know what the usual waistline is for someone weighing 116lbs?
i have considered weight training, but do not really know the basics, but thanks for the hint on what to search for in google. i have 6lbs
weights--my only problem was that i didn't really know how to incorporate it in working out.
but doing
cardio is still okay, is it?
thanks very much for your advice and understanding!
