Thats the thing, as long as you are simply trying to get in better health, you can continue how you are going. If you are trying to get small and tight, no amount of working out
will get you there.

What if I'm trying to tone up my overall body?

Non photoshopped version is better IMO

"Tone up" is a buzzword for selling junk to suckers. It is code for building muscle and losing fat. You can build muscle eating as many calories as you want, but unless you are an olympic-level swimmer or a marathon runner, you will never drop enough fat to make a difference.

So I'll never look like Jen Selter?

Everybody underestimates the time involved. And its a year ONLY if you make a strong lifestyle change. If you merely half ass it, expect it to be 2 or more. Im talking dropping
frequent alcohol, getting that sleep nightly, dragging your ass to the gym to lift HEAVY as early as possible so you don't miss the day, etc. The plus side is as long as your diet is relatively in check, you only spend up to an hour a day 3-4 times a week working out. It doesn't consume you, but you have to plan your days around rest, soreness, getting good calories in, etc. It becomes second nature when your body changes positively. It is a drug.

I can get with most of that but I suffer from insomnia and I think it really affects my diet and my workouts. Plus since I don't eat meat, I'm trying to find other ways to get the needed protein which can be tough to do at times.

Depends on how hard you go and your starting point, she put in a lot of work for her body, but an ass that size is just something she naturally had and worked to make better.

You could get her stomach/arms in 6 months if you eat right, go to the gym everyday and lift + HIIT. The thighs and her ass would take a lot longer to build up to, she's basically got a perfect body.

I can tell I'm definitely not going hard enough at the moment. I only workout 3 times a week and I know I need to do more cardio. I think I'm going to reevaluate my plan this weekend and come up with something more effective.


Thanks for the advice @At30wecashout and @Malta

Haha, do you want to? Her ass is clearly genetic, and she doesn't lift very hard, based on her lack of hamstrings or...definition anywhere but her abs. If so, drop your cals down to 2k, hit that cardio, and be ready to squat early and often.

The thing with protein is there is complete and incomplete proteins. I don't have a list of what to get those from, but you can supplement on Whey protein (It is somewhat of a dairy derivative), various beans, broccoli which has a surprisingly sick amount of protein compared to other green veggies, certain soys, and tofu if you are down. Also, if you fill the gaps in your diet, you can also solve your insomnia. A TON of common issues are linked to diet.

I already do squats, lift, HIIT. I work out 5 days a week the only thing I don't do is eat enough calories I don't think I even eating up to 2k if I had to guess I'm eating around 1500 (this is w/o the subway/jimmy johns).

Also in the case of Jen, yeah I want my body similar to hers obviously not exactly the same (we're two different body types) I just want to trim the fat overall (arms, legs, stomach) and build some muscle definition in my legs and arms. Plus I believe she was already thin before she started working out (one of those never been fat/overweight girls).

Yea, she started small, and didn't have to struggle to get to where she is, which honestly, isn't very impressive. About her ass, she also has lordosis, so her ass isn't as big and perky as it seems.
1500 isn't enough unless you are like 5'0-5'3 and weight about a buck. Eat more, scale back the workout days to 4, and lift HEAVY.

Get a regiment based on something from Bodybuilding.com or get a PT (could be expensive, unless you use them for a couple weeks just to get a plan) and stick to it. You have to eat more to build muscle, and more muscle means your metabolic rate is higher, which burns more fat on every activity. Eating that little hurts more than it helps, brehette.

Looks like I'm going to be doing some shopping tomorrow.

And I just renewed my costco membership too. I'm about to stock up.

What do you mean by lift heavy?

Currently I'm 5'4" but I don't weight a buck more like 150 .

Im talking, for your frame, squats with 150 on the barbell at LEAST, aiming for 220+.
Overhead presses of 50-80lbs.
Barbell rows of 80-100lbs for reps. You should be in there hitting weights on excercises so you can only do 8-12 reps before you are tired, but can repeat it for at least 3 sets. If you aren't progressively doing more weight weekly or biweekly, you won't be truly lifting heavy, nor hitting your goals. When you progressively overload, BOOM, you are hungrier, you are more sore, but for less periods of time. Less winded throughout the day, don't fukk your back up bending over to tie your shoes, etc.

I'll have to think about that lifting heavy stuff, I can barely lift 25 lbs. over my head.

Baby steps. Push it, see progress, push more. Trust me, don't waste time with baby weights. You will never reach your goals. You will yo-yo for life.

Let me start with baby weights and work my way up I get a good enough work out with my 3, 5, and 8 lb dumbells.
