Don't worry about getting too get rid of it, you can't target it or see it, it will lesson as you get healthier and lose body fat.I had a health scan earlier this year, and the doc said my visceral fat is too high.

Out of interest, what was the scan?
Close call, songs like it's done you a favour! As always, the most important thing is to get your eating and drinking in check.I had what they thought was a heart attack. So they wired me up to this machine, monitored my heart, then blood tests and numerous other tests including a CT scan. It ended up being a torn intercostal muscle. Painful to say the least.
She just said my internal fats are strangling my organs and putting stress on.
I hurt my lower back on squats this week. After 2 weeks of holiday,food & drinks, it was supposed to be a light workout in gym.Only doing 60kg on squats and on 7th rep of 2nd set, kind of lost tightness on upper inner thighs. Hard to describe but don't think it was serious. Still stopped the session. Getting better after 2 days and hoping nothing that need visit to GP.
I've been working very light this year with high reps. Also had enough rest period lasting at least a week after every 6-8 weeks of workout. First it was left shoulder pain which is showing no signs of going away and now this. Only changes from previous years (as long as this thread) are all high rep at 70% and some calorie deficit. Is it possible these are related? or high rep exercises are not suitable for me? I've not changed any exercises apart from Bench press which I've not done for 2 months now. I don't think fitness was issue as I was on treadmill for almost 30 min covering slightly over 4km before lifting.
Thanks mate will check it outCheck out any of the 5x5 variations. These should feels easy at first but stick to the plan and do not increase weight too much/too early.
That still seems like a lot to me, but maybe it's just because I hate squatting haha. I've been doing this warrior physique workout for the last few weeks and it just has split squats twice per week. 5 Best Kinobody Workouts to Get Ripped Fast | NOOB GAINS Now I'm wondering if this program is a wastethat's a 5x5 routine...it's only 3 times a week...
it's easy to strain / injure yourself when doing the heavier compound movements like the squat and deadlift...as it's easy to become distracted or lose concentration - you need to be focused on every single rep, but then sometimes sessions can be hard..
you should also consider doing some rotor cuff work for your shoulder (check youtube for examples) and using very light weights, or even bands, and I'd leave your 4km run for a seperate cardio session and just do some warmup sets of the exercise you'll be with light weights to activate the muscle(s)..
Hi
Info:
Almost 40 year old male
5 feet 7 inches, 60 kilos (that’s been my average weight for the whole of my adult life, so very very constant)
Started running again regularly (after about 2-3 years of stopping)
Eat quite healthily (almost zero processed meals) though too much of a sweet tooth (chocolate addict) and have recently got a bit of a belly that I need to lose!
I started on this youtube video this week and Bob Harper mentions (6 minutes in) using up to 12lbs for this workout, which equates to about 5.5 kilos (he mentions less for beginners). I had a doubt about something on the video and asked a question on a music forum I sometimes visit. Anyway, at the same time, I asked if 2 x 3kg weights would be ok for this kind of workout.
One guy seemed to suggest I was a little girl for choosing such light weights and recommended me going to gym, suggesting that I’ll lose motivation at home in spite of not knowing me at all (I’m more than happy doing a workout in my flat alone!). Then another guy said oh you’ll outgrow 12lb weights in no time. In other words, I guess he was saying it was a waste to buy them.
However, in the video linked it looks to me like the weights the 2 guys are using are not that heavy and my intention is not to get pumped up with massive biceps, just fit and a bit stronger.
Any opinions on what size of weights to buy? As I say I'm not looking to get massive and don't want to focus on bench pressing, purely weight lifting as that kind of stuff would demotivate, bore me and make me give up
Thanks in advance!
I think you are a touch confused about your healthy eating. It's tough to avoid processed foods and credit to you if you have achieved that, but all that good is undone with the old sweet tooth, chocolate, crisps etc all the nice stuff will more than undo any benefits of healthy foods.
As for the gut that will likely be a byproduct of poor diet, combined with a lack of a proper core/ab routine, but that's easy anough to fix with a decent and continued core workout about 3 times a week that should get it done in a about 4 months give and take.
is your body weight a typo? 60kg to me is very light for your height and age. Crossfit guys will have better answer to your questions.
