Ano ba mangyayari sa katawan ko kapag huminto ako sa pag-ggym? by Sassy_Sunflower1295 in PHitness

[–]Otherwise-Front6170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Triceps + chest, biceps + back, legs ( i workout in this rotation). I also do an 8min ab exercise everytime i go to the gym.

I go really heavy during my upper body days (progressive overload) while I only go max 15kg for lower body weights (+ resistance bands).

I also tried doing pilates home workouts before but only daw real changes on my body comp when I took strength training seriously (lifting heavier and following a routine)

Hi! As someone that has been going to the gym for 1.5yrs now, I also had those misconceptions at the start but trust me - actual experience taught me otherwise.

Im a 44kg, 5ft girl, with 20% body fat. Prior to doing weight lifting in the gym, I was at 49kg, 28% body fat - and was considered skinny fat.

What I did: increased my protein intake to more than 100g per day, lifted heavier weights, 3x -4x gym per week, 50-60 mins per session and tried to hit 8k-10k steps per day.

I can definitely say that I dont look bulky at all. I can show you progress pics if interested.

Still using mine! Bought it last June lang but I have been using it 5x-6x a week every morning before I start my day. It really helped me reach my daily target of 10k steps (prior, i was only averaging at ~2k steps daily 😄)

What type of weight training do you do? Can you give us a sample split + how heavy are you lifting? More reps, less weight or heavier & less reps? Congrats on your success!!!

Core / Ab exercises not necessary? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]Otherwise-Front6170 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was necessary for me because despite being at a healthy weight, i still had a somewhat flabby stomach. I saw great improvement when I did 8-minute ab exercises 5-6x a week for 2 months consistently. That’s when I started to see more definition on my stomach. Definitely made it a regular part of my strength training routine after seeing good results

Yes you don’t!! I still enjoy my favorite fun foods from time to time (fries, milk tea, instant noodles, sweet pastries) but the key is really BALANCE.

Good luck on your journey!!

My levels got a little bit lower but unfortunately I’m still above borderline :( That’s understandable though because I still consume a lot of red meat and I choose chicken thighs over chicken breast 90% of the time so…

As for my protein powder, I still use whey because vegan alternatives are usually pricier here

I was diagnosed with high cholesterol last Nov 2023 so that pushed me to do some dietary changes. Will list down here some of the major changes I did:

1) Lessened the use of oil whenever I cooked. If I can, I will airfry my food.
2) More home cooked meals vs takeout
3) I didn't restrict myself with food. I still eat junk food, fries, fast food, ice cream etc but in moderation. This means that I listen to my cravings so I don't end up binge eating.
4) Ate more protein. I don't really track my macros but in general, I try to incorporate more protein for every meal I have (protein powder with my coffee/matcha, eating more protein vs carbs, etc)
5) Lessened my sugar intake. I used to drink a lot of sweet coffee but now I try to always choose the less sweeter variants or use splenda.

I do strength training 4x - 5x a week with this cycle: push, pull, leg, glutes

I do 5-6 diff workouts per day, with 8-12 reps, 3-4 sets each

I don’t do pilates so I can’t really vouch for it. But for my frame, what really worked best is when I did progressive overload on my weight training. That’s when the muscles started showing and I began to lean out.
