Just got back into swimming and joined a team. What are some different ways to get rid of body fat in the chest/stomach/thigh region? I don't necessarily want to build more muscle just trim down. Im 23 and only 5'2 so in my opinion I should be fairly tiny but I'm still in a 30/32 suit and a 38 chest. Is it too far fetched to think I should be a 26/28 suit and a 34/36 chest, is that even possible? Thanks guys

    Eat healthy. Cook your own food. Drink lots of water, and nothing but water. (Edit: and coffee. I'm not a sadist. But go easy on the cream & sugar) Jog, walk, cycle, elliptical, stairmaster, etc. 3-4x per week, in addition to your normal training. Low intensity aerobic weight-bearing exercise for 30-60 minutes. Consider it active recovery from your hard training efforts. Use the Daily Plate program on the livestrong.com website. Keep a log, and make sure you are burning more calories per day than you take in.
