Abit about my fitness history....fit as a fiddle all my life, except at one point between the age of 20-25 I was obese. I weighed 130kg at 6 foot 3.
To the present day and I am a fitness addict and weigh 90kg and have 16% body fat. I workout 5 days (2 times weights, combinded with 30 mins of ab work and 2 or 3 times cardio) a week and generally keep active. Eat 6 meals a day, high protein (about 150 grams per day), mod carbs, enough fruit and veges.
I felt it was needed to give a quick background as I have a question....
That question is, I have very little fat anywhere else on my body EXCEPT for around my midsection. I just won't go away, underneath the fat u call feel the very strong ab muscles, its just covered in a layer of fat!. How about if I were to keep doing the same workout regime but up the cardio? to say 5 times a week? do u think that would work?
I had a discussion with a friend who is adament no matter what I do (other than surgery) the fat around my stomach won't go away because it is loose skin from when I was obese. Do u agree? or do u think I should up the cardio and that will work? or any other suggestions?
Cheers
