    Beginner Fitness: How can I lose stomach fat that's linked to stress/hormones?


    How can I lose stomach fat that's linked to stress/hormones?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 12:19 PM PDT

    Over the last few years, I've (26/F) gained fat mainly on my lower belly area. My weight has been the same for the last 7-8 years regardless of the level of physical activity.

    I have a sedentary job. Occasional hiker, was doing yoga thrice a week but nothing at the moment. I've also tried a High Intensity workout program for about 6 months a year ago but it didn't do anything for the fat.

    Also, I have a tendency to lose weight (not fat) very quickly if I don't eat as much as I do - which is a fairly regular amount not too much not to little.

    As per my guess the belly fat could be hormonal - I don't have anything coming up in blood reports and my periods are regular but I've been under a lot of stress for the past 6 years and that's the only thing I can think of.

    I basically want to target only my belly because that's the only place I have fat. Open to home workout routines/ gut health suggestions and detox ideas.

    Yoga to Relieve Back Pain with Yoga

    Can anyone help me understand what really matters when it comes to fitness?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 05:56 AM PDT

    So I'm a skinny guy - about 1.80m 70kg. I really want to improve my face shape cause it looks kind chubby and round and get a little tone on my body. But i am not very, how you say... disciplined. So i can push myself to work out and run, but following diets and eating schedules and whatnot just feels too much for me mainly because of the research and planing that goes into it. But judging buy what you can read online - i could run 500 miles and 500 more every day and 20000 push ups every hour and it wouldn't make a difference because I'm not eating right and not following a plan. Or apparently by some accounts i could do all that and end up with a godly body and still not see any difference in my face. Or sometimes i hear about people running for years and, while improving health-wise, not losing much weight.

    So can anyone help with what is it that REALLY matters when it comes to just seeing a positive difference in my face and shape within, say - around 4-6 months?

    And if it really is a ''right way is the only way'' type situation, can anyone help with getting some sort of plan going or tell me what i need in a plan? preferably a not-too-strict one...

    I know this isn't the place for lazy people but I'm just being honest with myself...

    Can I get a balanced workout with a resistance band and mini stepper?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 02:32 PM PDT

    Background info: 21F, 230lbs (HW 350)

    I have a tinyyyyy space. The only equipment I have room for is my mini stepper and resistance band. Does anyone have a good routine/advice for these? Can I use them everyday?

    I walk/hike six days a week for 45 minutes and once a week for thirty minutes, but this isn't burning many calories and isn't difficult at all anymore, but I'd like to lose more before I step up to running.

    Achievable goals?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 09:53 AM PDT

    Hi everyone. I'm (F), turning 31 this year. Also I'm 5'6 and 132 lbs, mostly the weight I put after giving birth two years ago. My question before setting myself on this path is, is it achievable for me to go down to 115lbs (my pre pregnancy weight)? I know I'm within the range of the weight I should've according to my height, but it's just fat and no muscle.

    How much and should I hit each muscle group

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 08:39 AM PDT

    So this is basically a question of how much can I train before is start overtraining. I've been doing body weight fitness for 6 months now but only seriously for 2 months after I discovered that I was working out ineffective (to low intensity). So two months ago i said fuck it, a 100 push up every day, but I soon found out that you need actual rest days for muscles to grow so I think I have a workable routine now but I would like some advice.

    I now train every day and I do a upper body lower body split so I have one rest day for the muscles. (This is mainly about upperbody)

    Upperbody workout 1: 10 normal push ups (as a warm up) 3 sets of 3 pull ups (just got a bar not that good at it yet) 3 sets of 12 shoulder push ups (the ones where you hang slightly forward with your body and your arm are placed lower) 3 sets of 12 diamant push ups (for the triceps of course) 5 really slow normal push ups (felt like I had to at something more) 3 sets of 3 chin ups

    Upperbody workout 2 10 normal same as before 3 sets of 3 pull ups 3 sets of 14 wide push ups 2 sets of 13 decline push ups 3 sets of 13 incline push ups wit rotation at the end ( got it from Athlean-x) 3 sets of 8 barbell curls each arm( using my school lang with all my books works fine)

    So is the amount on each muscle good as in am I targeting each muscle enough or too much? Like workout two is mainly chest focused, is it too much? ( intensity as in how hard the exercise is to do is good btw (almost failure/ failure on last sets))

    Also I can't really do like recommended routines because I don't have a place to do rows, I don't have rings or bands
