I've been pretty skinny all my life. Although now I've noticed I have a pot belly ugh; it doesn't stand out when I wear clothes, so it's not an image problem. But I'd rather be a more built chest.

Anyone work out? If so, what's something I can start doing, like a first step?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #1 on:** October 20, 2006, 12:21:49 AM »

Used too, stopped caring.

First step? start working out. lol. I dunno what to tell ya. Pot bellies are a bitch tho, specially when yer thin. Sure you dont eat too many carbs?

Well, do some running if you wanna get rid of the potbelly, or just some cardio of some sort, like stationary bike, I guess.

Seriously, I don't know what to tell you in terms of a "first-step." Maybe look in some of those workout threads over at GAF? I don't see why you just can't go to the gym and do some free weight exercises. Do you anything at all about working out? Fuck, I can't give advice.

Sometimes. Like tonight I had a baked potatoe, rice, mixed veggies, and some breaded chicken.

I'm going to start running I think

I just dont eat more than 90g of carbs a day if I can help it, that and drink tons of water. It does enough.

cubicle47b · « **Reply #11 on:** October 20, 2006, 12:51:27 AM »

Pick an activity that you think you'll still be doing a couple months from now and don't overdo it at first or you can burn out easily. Hopefully after a while it becomes routine and isn't an effort to make yourself do every time. I've tried running a few times and would never last past a month or two because I really hated it. The best solution for me turned out to be a recumbent Schwinn stationary bike that I keep in my room. I can bike 3-4 times a week for 40 minutes at fairly high intensity, listen to really loud music, and have a big fan pointed straight at me.

Yea, when I do cardio, it's usually stationary bike. But I suggested running because some people like that shit. I have no clue why.

I'm going to head over to the school gym as well. I'll probably just look around first, and then come back later to do...something.

I know you're 100% right, but I probably won't act on it, at least not this semester. I've always been a pretty laid back guy, and I prefer keeping my own company. I've got friends off campus obviously. I'll start going to the cafeteria more often, since a lot of people are there; last time I went I saw like two people I knew.

Oh, I probably should work out, but I don't

I'm spoiled by a fast metabolism, I don't stray too far under or over 110 lbs (right now I'm 109). I can pretty much eat what I want, I don't get much exercise besides doing DDR every so often. I also do a lot of walking at work.

Usually I eat pretty healthy, but I have a hard time cooking for myself, so lately I've been eating a shit ton of junk food. Once I move back in with my man I'm sure I'll cook some healthy meals again

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #47 on:** October 20, 2006, 08:51:29 AM »

PD, you need to bulk up before you think about working out. I had the pleasure of being chunky when I started working out (but I also had to incorporate Cardio into my regimen).

Eat lots of eggs and meats (don't go overboard though) to gain a little more weight. Then do some simple bench presses, crunches and curls (the basics). Nothing fancy.

APF · « **Reply #48 on:** October 20, 2006, 11:55:01 AM »

Cardio is overrated unless you're doing it for, you know, the cardio benefits. In terms of calories burned/time you're frankly better off just eating less. But if you're old (like me) and have a desk job (also like me) there are health benefits outside of weight management you should be concerned with.

A lot of men gain/retain weight in their stomach, it's just the normal fat-distribution pattern for males. Commonly that means you'll gain weight there first and lose it there last. But if you're generally a skinny person but have a big belly it could be helped by a number of non-diet/weightloss-related things, like dumping carbs/losing water, or by working on your posture, or by working on gaining muscle for an overall more proportional build.

No, they're loaded with sugar and caffeine, making them great ways to add extra body fat.
