I am a new member and have a few questions for possibly a trainer or anyone who may have comments.
Here's my scoop. I am a 50 year old female, 130 lbs, running and lifting on and off for over 20 years. I am currently aggressively lifting and have been for about 8 months and getting some great results I might say.
(slacked off on the running quite a bit though). I have always had a muscular body anyway and the lifting is really pumping me up. I love the look.
I usually change my routine about every 4 weeks due to adapting, and boredom if nothing else. I have a few questions for you and was hoping for a few tips.
I have great abs, but I have that dreaded layer of fat over them so you can’t tell. (Probably from having 4 kids)
Do you think it is all from diet? I have incorporated quite a bit of aggressive ab exercises throughout the week.
Women have such a difficult time getting rid of that.
Also, I have attached my current lifting routine.
Could you take a quick look at it and see what you think?
Thank you
Laura Pointer

They won't show unless you loss some fat I have the same problem. So cut those cals and do some cardio, Ive been swimming 4 times a weeks for 40 minutes and it melting off the fat. just a idea its the best form of cardio there is easy on the joints and it builds muscle

Laura Pointer welcome to IM!

yes, pretty much all diet, no ab routine will get rid of the fat.

Welcome Laura,

I agree with Prince. Diet, not regimen.

Welcome to Ironmag Laura.

Great to hear about your dedication to the sport.And after having 4 kids and still finding the time to work out is a great accomplishment.

As the others have said sweety,it is all diet.

Hi, welcome

Yes, getting rid of fat, from the amount of training you are doing, is probably your diet.

Post up a typical day and let's see if we can make some adjustments.........
