Whoa guys. My body is strugglin’ and needs some serious schooling. I think Im healthy fit, but I want to be as bad-ass as everybody else in this space. I do mostly cardio and quite frankly, I think I’ve had enough of it and I’m looking to cut down on some running and get serious with some weight training. One of my problems is that when I weight-train, I feel like I have the worst form ever, which have resulted into an uneven appearance, as you can see. I think it’s kind of funny how I turned out (I have a sense of humour about everything) Its like, one side is all curvy and the other is all bulky and straight. I never noticed until I took this picture 5 minutes ago. Hopefully, I can look back at this and laugh some more.

I get discouraged very easily, well sometimes. I feel like I don’t get anywhere. Ive been working out for eight months, and even though I have endurance, I’m not as fit as I would like to be. I think the only place on my body where I see any definition are my arms, the rest is soso. I feel like maybe genetics are partly to blame. I know I’ll never have thin legs, since I am pear-shaped, and its so hard to see any definition on mine, unless I flex them. If anyone has any advice for this novice, please feel free to do so, I dont know where to start. For me, Ive just been doing cardio forever, and I’m a little scared of weightlifting. If I do weight-lift, I use baby weights. MY caloric intake is about 1200 cals a day, and I feel like maybe this amount is not enough to feed my muscles. Any suggestions?
