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
you can't target body areas to lose fat, but you can improve the muscle tone of "problem areas". Regular core work will help you be firmer in the torso - which will make you feel better about your stomach.
And I might add, "regular core work" can be as simple as making a conscious effort to hold your stomach in while maintaining an erect posture whenever you're walking. I used to let my belt take the strain; now my stomach muscles do the work.
