Okay, I guess I HAVE to tell yall how fat I am befor I ask my question. Here Goes.......
I'm 23 w/ 2 kids (3yrs and 1Yr.)
5'10" 192lbs
I have a med./large frame (bone structure) YES I'm Big boned and FAT!
(Started at 215 and 29%bf on 1/12/2005)
Bf 3 weeks ago was 19.7% (had trainer triple check it, that was the average, a 7 point caliper whatever.)
So, I have a good amount of muscle, due to me being very heavy into sports and lifting in high school, right b4 I got preggo, Completed Air Force basic Training, blah blah blah.... I know what my body CAN look like, and that's what I'm aiming for.
I think I have a good shape, big hips and butt, big arms (read "something shitty"), small waist (in comparison to the rest of my body. I carry most muscle and fat in arms and legs, hips too.
My waist went from 40" down to 35", goal is back to 29" (long way away, I know).
Anyway, a trainer at the gym told me I shouldn't bother with ab excersizes until I lose more BF, He said it won't help the shape of my abs. And "I'm wasting time that's best spent elsewhere" What do you guys think??
I'm still working up the nerve to post pics, but when I look at you guys, I get both inspired and discouraged at the same time......
