how to tone up extra fat

[katey2020]

I've lost 2 stone and cant see a different yet but I have alot of far around my belly what hangs down how can I tone it I've bee. Doing cardos and alot of walking daily what else can I try I don't wont to look all thin soon and have that still around my belly legs and back. I were 18stone 9 now I'm 17stone. Wat can try or do I have to lie more weight or can I tone it up while loseing weight.

Hi OP you need to do strength exercises – try looking up a core strength routine.

You can't tone up fat, but you can tone up the muscle underneath so once you have lost the fat you can see the toned muscles. I would say that at 17 stone you will need to concentrate on fat loss for a while longer yet. Weights and HIIT are good for losing fat.

Thankyou I dont want alot of hang skin that's all wen I'm done x

To avoid loose skin I would also lose weight gradually to give your body time to adapt. It’s also likelier to stay off this way.

U cant help how much I lose I'm eating healthy and eating 1,300 a day and working out twice a day my weight I falling of me ice lost 1 stone and 11 pounds now

In 4 weeks

There's not much you can do to avoid loose skin but you are still better off losing the weight for your health. It's easy to disguise loose skin under clothes but you can't do that with fat. If it's a real problem you can look into surgery after you lose the weight. Normally you have to pay for it but might be something you could save up for.

It’s hard to predict how much, if any, loose skin you might have after losing weight. Some people are lucky and have none but others not so much. Just focus on your diet and exercise as you are. I’m sure even if your skin isn’t super tight you’ll still feel the benefits of weight loss regardless.

Thanks 😁

I've got alot of skin what I tuck into my trousers already but always had that that what's bothering me the most but yeh I will fell happy fitter and stronger wen I've lost6 more stone x

Sorry I mean extra fat I hate that word

As others said above you can't tone fat - it's impossible. If you lift weights as well as do cardio you will build muscle but that won't be visible until you lose the fat surrounding it. Unfortunately loose skin is going to be a side effect of weight loss especially as you age as your skin loses it's ability to 'bounce back'.

Okay thankyou everyone now I know 😞
