Boobs/butt or abs… woe is me! Help…
i like my …
So, in summary last summer i lost 17lbs, but i did it some what obsessively. I did tremendous amount of cardio (am and pm) and lifting wieghts. Now at my thinnest (157lbs) i had no boobs (size b or so) i liked my c cups. and my ass disappeared! After a summer of fun, i drifted away from the gym and did not eat as clean as i used to. i gained 14 lbs over the year i took off, I am happy to say that i got both my boobs and butt back. and I am comfortable with how my body looks now (I am no where trying to acheive the media induced image of perfection anymore, I have come to realize that too thin is not a sexy look for me at all!) with the exception of my arms and stomach. I want my leaner stomach of a year ago, but i dont want to pay the price as I did. so here’s my strategy and tell me if it makes some sense and or logic or i am all wrong:
Cardio: limited to 5 mins warming up. and the occasional 25 laps at the pool
Weights: i am trying to work out alot more my glute to build the muscle, this way if fat is lost ill still keep the shape. I am also concentrating on my abs. Alternating workouts between legs/glutes and abs. thats just the main muscle group during that session but in between exercises i switch body parts (bi, tris, back chest ect.) so its a full body every workout just with a concentration on an area.
diet: here’s where i dont know what to do mainly, i am thinking that maybe if i eat well before and after the work out i should be good and eat intelligently ( different that clean, since i dont want to cut out carbs so the fat loss isnt as fast) and increase my cheat meals to 3 a week. I know that maybe this way the results will take much longer.
help…

One problem here… genetics. You cannot spot treat fat loss, it’s just a fact there. You can train muscles to get more developed but your body is gonna hold onto fat where it thinks that it needs it most. Unfortunately that means that you’re gonna lose the chest first as do the vast majority of women. You’re just gonna have to keep working it all away and try to develop more muscular size in your pecs and glutes. Tis why a lot of lean ladies go for augmentation.

I’ve been fortunate enough to only lose about 1/2 cup size so far, BUTT that is where most ladies lean out. You’re not going to get defined abs without cutting carbs and loosing the boobs and butt, unfortunately. If you want curves, squat heavy, do glute kickbacks, and you’ll most likely need to get some saline/silicone "enhancements." Sad fact of XX chromosomes. Cheating on the diet will keep it there, but you won’t loose it from where you want to, either.
