Skinny fat Definition = A “skinny fat” physique is one that doesn’t look overweight, but lacks muscle definition which means their body will have wobbly bits and generally shapeless. It’s the type of physique that, despite having relatively low levels of body fat, looks soft and shapeless.
Here is an examples of what it look s like on boys and girls:
How do you become skinny fat?
- Extreme dieting with rapid weigh loss
- Lacking muscle tone
- Over training and burning into your muscle instead of fat
Ways to over come it?
- Make sure you give your body enough calories to match your training
- Pick up some weights, it will really help tone and tighten your body
- Feed your body good nutritious foods
Sometimes less = more. I love my training so much and I have convinced myself I'm a little bit A'D'D :) What I didn't realise was I was over training and burning into my muscle and wasn't burning and fat, which left me looking skinny but things wobbled everywhere and I lost my body shape. I have now pulled back my training to going for walks in the morning and one gym session in the afternoon instead of weights, beach sprints and a gym class all in one day. I will have seen better results and my body will love me more when I'm not over working it and putting it under a lot of high stress
