Skinny fat person: Cant seem to loose this fat
Hi All,
I am 38 years old and I have been carrying fat in my chest and abs for all my life. Over the last few years, I have changed my diet completely (no meat and very little sugar) and I workout at least three times a week but this fat shows no signs of going away.
Here are my specs:
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 165 lbs
Waist: 34"
Chest: 38"
Daily Calories intake: under 2000
The calories I consume are mostly from Salmon, eggs, tuna, quinoa, yams, pistachios, bananas, sugarless yogurt, and fat free whip cream that I add to my yogurt and eat it as a desert.
Workout three times a week:
My workouts for the past several months have been:
- 6 sets of 5 reps bodyweight dips with 5 reps of decline push up in each set
- 5 push up variation sets of 10 to 15 reps: knee pushaway, standard, incline, twisting knee push up and lateral knee plyo pushup
(I do 30 seconds abs between each push up variation and altogether that takes me about 25 minutes to complete)
- two sets of 25 reps of bodyweight squats
- two sets of renegade rows of 10 reps each
- 45 seconds of inverse planks
and two other exercises: one for my posture and one for my Achilles tendon
(altogether it takes me 45 to 50 minutes to complete)
Abs:
I do a follow along ab workout 7 days a week that is 10 minutes long.
I feel strong in my chest but I am NEVER sore. What am I doing wrong?
I am thinking of adding battle rope on my days off hoping that it can help me put a dent to this fat in my upper body.
