A GUIDE TO GETTING LEAN

  I really wanted to put this part together to show you all how I am doing. Of course, this post is going to be updated regularly when I notice new results. First of all, this is where I am at as of July 2021. Left is in mid-2020 and right is July 2021 Let's now see where it all started,  I worked out a lot in 2018. Doing all the wrong types of workouts, disregarding diet, and not knowing a lot about bulking legs. Then my goal was to lose weight overall. Read my bulking up story  Here See my 2018 Snapchat(just before I got into working out), Working out through 2018, 2019, and early 2020 my upper body got pretty toned but my legs didn't. As a matter of fact, they got bigger. I was so disappointed and frustrated I stopped working out. See my ab area in March 2020, And my lower body area around the same time, Around Mid year 2020, I learned about lean legs and that women can get bulky, and that my legs were bulky! I had mixed emotions, I was so excited, and I was confused...

  Saddlebags are the casual name given to the fat that accumulates on the outer thighs just below the butt. It is one of the most common 'trouble spots', especially for women. I too really struggle with saddlebags. Most women do store extra fat in their thighs and butt compared to men who store most of their extra fat in their belly area. Saddlebags are therefore more common among women. Okay seriously, it's weird to see a guy with saddlebags! Saddlebags can be caused by several factors, Hormones - during a woman's reproductive years the body releases estrogen. This hormone usually triggers the accumulation of fat during pregnancy and since women have larger pelvises, some fat gets stored in that area. Been Inactive- when you are inactive, sitting all day, underusing those butt muscles; fat stored in the butt area tends to fall out to the sides. Sometimes this leads to saddlebags. (This attacked me directly) Genetics- Sometimes we just inherit stuff from our family me...

  Recently I left a little quiz on my YouTube Channel about what burns fat more efficiently. Is it running or power walking?  The right answer is walking; Power Walking.  Here's the thing, the body creates energy in two ways; with oxygen(Aerobic) and without oxygen(Anaerobic). Hold on tight we are getting there. Now depending on the type of workout, one is doing the body will choose to either use fat or carbs for energy. Fat is usually what is stored. For most women, it is stored in the thighs and booty while for most men it is stored in the belly area. Carbs are usually what is available in the body at the moment. Maybe that piece of bread you just had. (Hold that thought right there) Let's take running and walking as our types of examples. When you are running you are most of the time running out of oxygen what we say 'gas'. You might be panting and breathing heavily trying to look for gas. On the other hand, when walking you are not panting, you can hold a simple ...

  I love to express my thoughts in any way I find convenient at the time. (well that is a weird way to start lol) My story with learning about lean legs and slimming down your legs started in  January 2020 after realizing I had bulked up and that was why my legs could not get smaller after all the workouts I did. If you have not read about my bulking up story read that first  here . Since it was something very close to my heart and something that really bothered me. I set up to know everything I could about bulking up and why my legs kept getting bigger. First up I did tones of research about body types and body shapes; things like are all ectomorphs rectangles? or are all mesomorphs pears? Hourglasses all this things. What I realized and have learnt is that different body types react differently to  different workouts. For instance an Endomorph who does loads of HIIT will most likely bulk up while an Ectomorph who still does the same amount of HIIT will ...
