Hey everyone, I am a 21 year old male that weighs 166 pounds and is 5'8. About a year ago, I decided to live a healthier life style. Not working out but healthier; walking to work (1.7 miles overnights at Walmart, drinking plenty of water, and just being more active. Within the year I went from nearly 200 pounds to my weight today, but my issue is finding a regimen that would remove my side and stomach fat. Any work out ideas or diet plans?

Hi garelrs,
Super work so far! I'm going to save you a little time but take it as a positive and not a negative. There is no way to spot reduce fat (I.e you can't lose 'belly' fat you can just lose fat), so sticking with whatever you've done with your nutrition to lose fat will mean that it eventually goes. Where the fat goes from first and last is completely individual, but it will go. However you can do a lot to change your shape, so if you want to carve some good definition whether it's your torso or anywhere then you can train for it. Strength training is what will change the way you look once the fat is gone. A good starting point or solid foundation for a strength training regimen would be to incorporate the big compound movements that use multiple muscle groups and uses primary movements of your body, which just means you're doing natural movements like squatting, pressing, pushing and pulling. It's the best way to start because these types of exercises are easiest to get the correct form so less chance of injury, you can typically move a lot of weight and they recruit lots of muscle groups so they're the best bang for your buck exercises. You're also young enough that you're likely to see some good progress in strength training. Good luck buddy!
